Eaton - Carolinas Hospital System
|
| Similar to any business on utility power, Carolinas Hospital System’s critical IT infrastructure is susceptible to daily power quality issues such as surges, sags, load fluctuations and other power interferences. A typical commercial customer can experience four to 15 outages per year. Hospitals must proactively implement power protection and management strategies to protect IT systems, diagnostic imaging equipment, clinical labs and monitoring support systems against a full range of problems.
Confronting growth demands, as well as new HIPAA requirements, Carolinas Hospital System sought to bolster its power protection efforts in two critical areas — its patient health information servers and its primary distribution cabinet. "Our initial UPS implementation was not designed to accommodate the entire data center," explained Graham. "Power protection is a vital part in maintaining our technology infrastructure, and we sought a solution that would address our immediate data center requirements, as well as our future expansion plans."

Eaton Powerware® BladeUPS™ Power System
Designed specifically for high-density computing environments, the Powerware BladeUPS delivers 12 kW of efficient, reliable power in only 6U of standard rack space, including batteries. Expand capacity by combining 12 kW modules in a building block fashion to deliver 60 kW of redundant backup power from a single rack enclosure. This powerful configuration delivers higher power density than competitive, modular solutions, while dissipating one-third of the heat.
The standard internal batteries provide needed ride-through power until an auxiliary power source takes over or systems are gracefully shut down. Extend runtime up to 34 minutes at full load (or 76 minutes at half load) with Extended Battery Modules (EBMs).

Eaton - Cutter and Buck Case Study
Cutter & Buck receives, packs and ships thousands of units daily. With a state of-the-art distribution center and computer systems with continuous RF scanning that support real-time order information, product status and history, Cutter & Buck's material handling and information processing infrastructure provides high levels of accuracy and accountability for its worldwide customers. Its mission critical data center depends on a power system that delivers reliable, high-quality power and prevents power disturbances that can harm its computers, corrupt data, and bring business to a stand still.
Cutter & Buck purchased two 12kW Powerware BladeUPS modules and four extended battery modules set in a single Powerware rack. The two Powerware BladeUPS were configured to run in parallel.

Powerware® BladeUPSTM Power System
Today, power management of a data center or network operations center places IT managers under the intense pressure to reduce power quality costs without losing sight of inescapable UPS operational realities. The new Powerware BladeUPS power system was designed with this cause in mind. With an industry-leading efficiency rating of 97%, this groundbreaking UPS can actually save customers up to $30,000 within the first five years alone when deploying a 60 kW N+1 redundant solution.
The Powerware BladeUPS is a revolutionary power quality solution, expanding power protection from 12 kW to 60 kW in a single industry standard 19-inch rack, and most significantly, providing this robust, compact solution without generating the additional heat associated with legacy end-of-row, modular UPS products. The Powerware BladeUPS is designed to be the most flexible UPS on the market. It can be deployed in a number of configurations from a distributed architecture (one in every rack), to end of row (up to six units in a rack), to a central system (not on the IT floor, but in the electrical closet). In addition, the exceptionally high efficiency rating is not a large energy cost burden when installed inline with the output of a large, central UPS or in highly critical computing areas where dual UPS redundancy (2N) is required.
