Vertiv, a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, has announced the availability of single-phase uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems with lithium-ion battery models, expanding its portfolio of online interactive UPS. With capacities ranging from 1500 - 3000VA in tower and rack-mount convertible designs, the Vertiv ™ Edge family of high-efficiency lithium-ion single-phase UPSs is now available in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) .
Thanks to their lower maintenance requirements,
lithium-ion batteries (also known as Li-ion or LIB) are a natural fit for
deployments at the edge of the network, where IT support is
limited. Compared to valve regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries,
lithium-ion batteries have up to 3 times longer life, improving total cost of
ownership (TCO). Additionally, they operate more efficiently at
higher temperatures, are smaller, lighter, and offer longer run times than VRLA
batteries used for UPS systems in these capacities.. The Vertiv Edge
lithium-ion UPS family provides up to 10 minutes of battery backup at full
load, as opposed to approximately 4-5 minutes for a standard UPS with VRLA
batteries.
"As digitization increases, many applications
are moving to the edge of the grid and require reliable power protection,"
said Karsten Winther, Vice President of Sales for Vertiv EMEA . “UPS
systems with lithium-ion batteries offer cost and operating benefits, and also
reduce the need for on-site maintenance. Ultimately this means more
stability and savings for critical edge deployments and a broader range of
options for our customers. "
The Vertiv Edge Lithium-Ion UPS is ideal for
state-of-the-art computing sites and for healthcare, banking, education, retail
and government applications. It comes with a standard five-year warranty
on electronics and battery. The system can be integrated with Vertiv ™
VR Rack for a standardized IT infrastructure solution that can be easily
deployed across multiple Edge locations.
The Vertiv ™ Edge lithium-ion UPS
family is compatible with Vertiv ™ Power Insight software, available as a free
download on the Vertiv website . Vertiv Power Insight
enables users to easily monitor and manage up to 100 rack power distribution
units (rPDUs) and UPS systems, with shutdown protection for individual and
virtual servers, providing greater visibility and better management of multiple
locations Edge. The new version of Vertiv Power Insight provides the
VMware vCenter plug-in to optimize power management and availability.
