WEST KINGSTON, RI--(Marketwire - June 2, 2008) - APC, a globalleader in integrated critical power and cooling services, todayannounced that individuals now can obtain the electrical efficiencydata for enterprise power and cooling products from www.apc.com to help determine energy usage and system efficiencies. APCbelieves it is the first company in the critical power and coolingservices industry to offer full and complete electrical efficiencyproduct data in a standard format. As an industry leader inphysical infrastructure, the company now offers product efficiencydata including graphs on its products in a consistent format thatallows data center designers and others to combine the componentefficiencies to predict the performance of an overall system. As oftoday, APC provides electrical efficiency data for power andcooling products such as its popular three-phase and single-phase uninterruptible power supplies , power distribution units and InRow® cooling solutions on itsWeb site.
Currently the industry does not generally provide detailedefficiency data over the entire operating range of each product.Today, customers only have access to efficiency data for one or afew operating points or no public data exists at all. As anindustry thought leader on designing and building data centers, APChas responded by becoming the first company to provide this preciseinformation to make it easier for customers, integrators andchannel partners to select products to meet efficiency (DCiE)objectives for their data center system. Additionally, the companyexpects that component and systems manufacturers will alleventually provide this information on their respective products.
"APC feels passionately about providing accurate data on the actualelectrical efficiency of its products to customers and others tohelp simplify the process of determining overall systemefficiency," said Neil Rasmussen, senior vice president ofInnovation at APC. "For example, for devices that transform orprocess energy, we will provide a graphical representation of theefficiency or loss performance as a function of rated load acrossthe product's operating range."
Initially, APC will publish the electrical efficiency data on thecompany's U.S.-based Web site. In time, the company will make thisinformation available in other countries where it operates.
