Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson and the global leader in enabling Business-Critical Continuity announced the promotion of Arunangshu Chattopadhyay to power product and engineering manager for Asia.

Chattopadhyay is a seasoned industry expert in the power quality solutions field. He joined Emerson in 1990 and has been involved in the development and design of customized solutions for customers’ most complicated power issues throughout the region. Working with a team of design engineers that form the core of Emerson Network Power’s centralized technical services, he ensures that all design systems provide customers the appropriate power availability and efficiency for their business processes.

Chattopadhyay observes that IT organizations are increasingly focused on energy as more than just a “green initiative” but also as a cost reduction opportunity. Before purchasing IT equipment, decision makers need to consider the cost of powering the equipment along with traditional attributes, such as reliability, scalability and flexibility. He further states that it’s not only because power costs are skyrocketing but IT organizations are becoming concerned about their return on investment and are beginning to look more heavily at energy-efficient features and design configurations that offer a higher degree of equipment utilizations for their facilities.

“Decisions are leaning more toward early replacement of old equipment in favor of more energy-efficient devices. Companies that keep their energy strategy moving forward experience attractive paybacks, “says Chattopadhyay.

“Using high-efficiency power supplies, power management, innovative cooling solutions, sizing them up to actual load and configured for improved utilization increases efficiency. Emerson Network Power’s new power product technology platform has taken a lead role in creating a new industry standard that delivers 96 percent efficient power uninterruptible power supply (UPS) products within the boundary of on-line double conversion UPS technology” says Chattopadhyay, noting further “thereby improving data center efficiency, which in turn enables companies to save on operating costs without compromising availability.”

“Over the years, Emerson Network Power has been the recognized industry leader in reliability. As we leverage our extensive experience in the global deployment of enterprise solutions, we develop and deploy integrated best-of-breed solutions that enable our customers to get more out of their mission-critical facilities,” says Chattopadhyay.

He holds a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the Jadavpur University in Kolkata, India. He is based in the Philippines.
