Emerson Network Power Announces Earthquake Resistance Certification for Cooling and Enclosure Solutions

By Fei on December 9, 2011

December 9, 2011

Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson has announced that its Liebert PEX cooling solution has been certified for earthquake resistance by Guangzhou University’s Earthquake Engineering Research and Test Center (EERTC).

Designed and built in Asia, over 8,000 units of the Liebert PEX have been deployed since its launch. The unit protects critical equipment with precise, reliable control of temperature, humidity and air flow. The Liebert PEX is the singular precision cooling option for customers who want reliability, flexibility and lowest total cost of ownership.

Subjected to three controlled conditions with earthquake intensities of up to nine degrees (equivalent to magnitude 6.0-7.0 on the Richter scale), the Liebert PEX showed no signs of damage in its main structure and connecting kits.

“The test results come at a time when companies all over Asia are exhibiting caution in their business investments, following the devastating impact of recent natural disasters in New Zealand and Japan,” said John Parikh, Enterprise market management organization general manager for Emerson Network Power in Asia. “Such incidents underscore the value of disaster-‘proofing’, and limiting financial losses due to downtime. Emerson Network Power has built its name on keeping businesses in business, and the certification of the Liebert PEX lends further credence to the company’s guarantee of Business-Critical Continuity™.”

Earthquakes that register 6.0-7.0 on the Richter magnitude scale cause damage to fortified structures, wall collapse, visible ground cracks, lateral spreading and significant rockfall. In this magnitude range, destruction is moderate to severe, with people falling over themselves as they move. “For the Liebert PEX to remain without damage in these conditions is an engineering feat. In light of recent disasters in the region, EERTC’s seismic test proves the Liebert PEX is a sound economic investment,” added Parikh.

Available in Asia, the Liebert PEX alongside other offerings from Emerson are subjected to comprehensive factory testing to ensure durability and reliability. The company has adopted shock testing for all its products, a capability that no other vendor can match.

Emerson Network Power’s Knurr E-Series rack series, for example, is also built to seismic zone 4 standards which corresponds to areas with the highest earthquake risk. These heavy-duty racks have a static load rating of 1300kg, but goes down to 664kg under full seismic zone 4 loading.

Equipment durability is an important consideration when planning for business continuity. In this period of caution and preparedness, businesses are choosing to invest in equipment that will withstand the toughest conditions while optimizing operations. Emerson Network Power’s enclosure and cooling solutions are built for high reliability, ensuring efficiency without compromising performance.

Emerson Network Power Announces Asia-Pacific Data Center Audit Program

By Fei on May 11, 2011

Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson, boosts its data centre efficiency services in Asia Pacific with a data center audit program.

The program is a half-day audit where Emerson Network Power’ data center experts provide a detailed analysis of the current data center infrastructure and offer a comparison with industry best practices.

“Data center managers face an uphill struggle in maintaining and monitoring their data centers. Effective cooling, power management and space are requirements for a healthy data center and as it grows to accommodate operational requirements, the optimal efficiency of data centers becomes more difficult to achieve,” says Nilzon Villanueva, channel product services manager for Emerson Network Power in Asia.

As the data center is expanded, improper planning can lead to critical pitfalls such as hot spots, excessive energy costs, power management issues or power outages.

“The data center audit offers an objective insight into the status and health of data center infrastructure. We aim to highlight opportunities to improve availability and efficiency and impart best practices in the design, management and operation of data center infrastructure,” adds Villanueva.

As a part of the program, Emerson Network Power data center experts will assess data center performance in five categories: cooling, power, service, racks and security. The output would be a report of findings and recommendations that will help customers and partners better understand their current data center infrastructure and plan for future changes to manage IT demand growth. This detailed report also includes an easy-to-read ‘green-amber-red’ stoplight system, which compares different elements of the computer room against 50 industry-standard best practices.

Emerson Network Power Expands Focus on Data Center Efficiency with New Recycling Metrics

By Fei on March 7, 2011

March 7, 2011

Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson and the global leader in enabling Business-Critical Continuity, has released Recycling Ratios: The Next Step for Data Center Sustainability, a new position paper to help data center staff address a key sustainability issue: reducing solid waste. In addition, an online calculator offers a resource for learning about the approach outlined in the position paper.

While metrics such as power usage effectiveness (PUE) measure the energy inputs and outputs of data centers, the new position paper outlines formulas for measuring the material inputs and outputs, including everything required to run a data center, from paper and toner cartridges to IT hardware and supporting equipment. Recycling Ratios provides a method for measuring efficiency over time as a data center evolves from startup, to an initial equipment refresh around year seven, through eventual relocation.

“With organizations such as the Sierra Club promoting zero-waste policies, companies need an easily understood metric for assessing whether materials are handled in an environmentally responsible manner – and a tool for measuring progress,” said Jack Pouchet, director of energy initiatives for Emerson Network Power. “Just as our Energy Logic approach helped companies focus on reducing energy consumption, Recycling Ratios provides data center managers with ideas on taking sustainability to a new level.”

The position paper is available as a free download on Emerson Network Power’s Efficient Data Centers website along with the calculator.
