In Internet Data Center(IDC) applications, uptime is your business. That's why Emerson Network Power is your one source for the most reliable power, cooling and connectivity solutions in the industry. Some of the world's largest data centers in finance, technology, government and industry are protected by Emerson solutions.

The right solutions and protection for your Internet Data Center cannot be purchased from a catalog or off retail shelf. It has to be configured to meet both today's need and tomorrow's growth. This on-site experience is critical in configuring power and air protection for your Data Center. With a leadership position in Internet Data Centre application, Power and Air solution, Emerson Network Power knows the application better than any one else.

The specific needs of a Internet Data Centres are :
Shutdowns are not permitted - Even planned shutdowns cannot be taken.
Longevity of source cum distribution systems has to be ensured, as it is very likely that the source / distribution hardware used becomes obsolete before the IDC's end of projected life span.
Availability along with maintainability has to be ensured - an apparently conflicting requirement (Availability wants no shutdowns, while maintainability wants shutdown).

In the traditional past, the availability has been enhanced using Multi module UPS systems in various topologies such as Parallel Redundant, Hot Standby, N+1 redundant etc. However, all these topologies share a common weakness - The redundancy ends at the point your critical bus begins. With age, UPS technology has become more and more stable making this weakness even more glaring.

Emerson Network Power gives the right answer for such a solution based on Load Bus Synchronization (LBS) topology and the point-of-use Super Switch.
