Vertiv offers sophisticated and truly state-of-the-art UPS systems that power today’s datacentres
In a new development, Vertive, the leading power conditioning systems provider, has struck a technology alliance with Honeywell, world’s top notch provider of industrial and facility automation solutions, for creating integrated solutions to optimize datacentre sustainability, resiliency and operational performance.
So, the partnership builds on Honeywell’s industry-leading building management systems (BMS), operational software, and safety and security products along with Vertiv’s UPS (uninterruptible power supply) systems, power distribution, thermal management, infrastructure monitoring and modular solutions to enable operators of hyperscale, large enterprise, co-location and edge data centers to integrate multiple domains of data within a data center. The companies will leverage building-operations data to drive optimization of operations, reducing energy use and costs while improving data center performance and sustainability.
“Our collaboration with Honeywell will help us to collectively better serve our data center customers. Our offerings complement each other to provide greater value to data center operators”, said, Rob Johnson, CEO, Vertiv.
Vimal Kapur, President & CEO, Honeywell Building Technologies, viewed, “Data centers face similar challenges as other buildings that have disparate systems that were not designed to work together, but they experience these challenges on a greater scale.
The large amount of power used for thermal management, building systems and physical security within a data center can increase risk for downtime. The new scalable and easy-to-implement intelligent power management solution from Honeywell and Vertiv is designed to enable remote monitoring and maintenance, reduce costs, eliminate redundancy and improve power usage effectiveness (PUE).
Combined, the companies sell industry-leading product brands that provide best-in-class differentiated support to data centers, including Honeywell’s advanced detection business featuring the VESDA brand of advanced smoke detection technology; Honeywell Forge enterprise performance management platform including Honeywell Forge Energy Optimization; Enterprise Buildings Integrator (EBI) and the Niagara Framework; and the Vertiv Liebert power and thermal management solutions, Vertiv Avocent monitoring and IT management solutions, and Vertiv Geist power distribution solutions.
Datacentres in 2018 consumed over one percent of the world’s energy use. While, the industry has made great strides to reduce and offset energy demands, including increasing the utilization of renewable energy, more work can be done toward a more sustainable and carbon-neutral future.
