            Flexible and modular solution for IT rooms

             
             

            Value proposition


            Main Drivers

            • Business resilience to secure and increase revenues.
            • Operational efficiency.
            • Site ability to follow high rate evolution on IT technologies.

            Solution in brief
            • iFlexPower is a complete IEC solution for Data Centers' IT rooms, that brings resilient power supply down to critical loads.

            Value proposition

            • Peace of mind: High availability solution. Dependability studies have shown that iFlexPower increases critical load availability with factor x4 . Compliance with standards. Highly integrated, with complete answer to customer requirements (adaptability to all IT equipment, sub-metering, IT management, modularity).
            • Business continuity / disaster recovery: Critical info delivered to right person at the right time.
            • Flexibility: extension/evolution without shutdown. High degrees of maintainability and evolutivity (withdrawable technology for "Hot" Plug & Play, adaptability for raised-floor &/or aerial installation).
            • IT management: Check before connecting that power resources are available.

            Differentiation factors

            • 'Key component' of recommended and qualified architecture (CPSol / Solution level 2).
            • Measure & monitor for capacity management & risk management .
            • Modular system: reduced installation time, improved accessibility, adaptable to all kind of servers.

            Main Energy Efficiency characteristics

            • Energy availability: iFlexPower is a ‘key Component' of Critical Power architectures. Final distribution has been identified as one of the most critical parts of Data Centre architectures (up to 80% of complete criticality)

            • Energy savings: iFlexPower is a modular and flexible system that integrates perfectly into high density IT rooms. Located in the hot aisle raised-floor or above the cabinets, it doesn't disturb the cooling air flow and contributes to a better E² ratio.

            • Environmental impact: iFlexPower has a better environmental impact than an equivalent traditional solution: it reduces use of plastics by 70%, and cross section of conductors is reduced by 30%.
