ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE POWER SOLUTIONS FOR CRITICAL POWER ENVIRONMENTS

High density computer environments, utilizing Alternating Current (AC) power supply blade server technologies are presenting major challenges to Data Center owners and operators. Typical facility infrastructures cannot accommodate the added electrical loads, heat loads and reliability requirements of such installations. This phenomena, coupled with the new world emphasis on alternative power and renewable “green energy” solutions, highlights the need for data centers to look at new ideas for power and cooling in the future.

An example of a future technology is a higher voltage (400vDC) DC power. Servers equipped with Direct Current (DC) power supplies, instead of AC power supplies, operate with 20-40% less heat, reduce power consumption by up to 30%, increase server reliability, offer flexibility to installations, are more easily integrated with alternative energy sources and decrease maintenance requirements.

Direct Power Technologies, Inc. is the first company to introduce an electrical system that can provide 400vDC directly to computers and servers. This is a voltage already utilized internally for all computer operations. In partnership with INTEL, SUN MICROSYSTEMS, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories, EPRI and ECOS Consulting, Direct Power Technologies, Inc. has demonstrated the operation and energy savings of a 400vDC power distribution system.

Utilizing current off-the-shelf components, it is possible to install and operate a high reliability HVDC power distribution system for a DC powered server environment, without batteries or complicated AC power system drawbacks. This High Reliability HVDC Power Distribution System could be the next generation power system for critical power environments.

This experience and technical expertise qualifies Direct Power Technologies, Inc. as one of the premiere power services companies which provides Data Center energy system consulting, engineering design, system integration, installation and testing services with operations and maintenance support. Direct Power Technologies, Inc. is a leader in providing next generation power systems that offer energy savings, reliability, and environmental responsibility for data centers now and in the future.
