Socomec UPS: Focus On Data Centres
Socomec UPS, a multinational company with a presence in over 80 countries, provides a range of power continuity solutions from 400 VA to 4800 kVA which is capable of meeting the demand for disturbance-free, high quality power for mission-critical applications.
Besides enjoying an international reputation for advanced technology, Socomec was recently recognised by Frost and Sullivan for its product innovation and excellence in customer service.
Qualities such as these are essential to the successful operation and support of the modern data centre, an application which has consistently formed a fundamental part of Socomec's objectives for its product development in line with the latest requirements of data centre loads.
Regulation pertaining to UPS systems continues to attach increasing importance to the environmental and economical implications of installations. Discussions are ongoing, for example, regarding product regulations that govern the efficiency values of UPS systems. These same directives and laws are imposing minimum efficiency standards on the various UPS ranges.
Given the large diversity of data centre designs, which differ in terms of dimension (small, medium, large) and tier classification (availability), it is important to provide appropriate and comprehensive solutions.
The recent debate about whether data centres should be supplied with AC or DC power, in order to optimise the overall efficiency of the plant is one that Socomec has been actively involved in.
Socomec UPS is already able to provide a range of AC and DC solutions powered at various voltages.
