UPS

Stay cool, 100% uptime

In-row cooling units powered by a UPS can keep on providing vital cooling in the event of a power cut. Usually these units can be small as they only have to provide power between the mains power going off and the generator coming online to repower the primary chillers.

Nevertheless, during this time significant temperature changes can occur as servers continue to generate hot air. To prevent damage to servers or emergency shut down during this critical time, UPS-powered cooling provides valuable peace of mind.
