Active Power Receives Multimillion Dollar PowerHouse Order
Active Power, Inc., manufacturer of continuous power and infrastructure
solutions has received a multimillion dollar order for two PowerHouse
systems from one of its strategic IT partners. The deployment will
support the IT partner’s containerized datacenters, enabling the end
user, a global manufacturer of oil and gas drilling products to quickly
add additional capacity. All systems and related equipment will ship in
the third quarter of 2011 to the end user’s facility located in the
southwestern U.S.
Each PowerHouse system is rated at 720 kW and will provide all critical
power infrastructure support to the IT containers onsite. This fully
turnkey datacenter solution represents the first phase of the project as
the site is designed for expansion phases of similar sizes in the future
as IT demands increase.
The power infrastructure systems will each contain a diesel generator;
Active Power’s high efficiency CleanSource UPS (uninterruptible power
supply) systems; switchgear; base fuel tank; and monitoring and controls
software.
“Today’s datacenter operators are having to address requirements for
more energy and space efficient solutions while at the same time manage
increased demand for power to support high density IT environments,”
said Martin Olsen, vice president and general manager, Global Sales and
Business Development, Active Power. “Our modular power infrastructure
solutions enable organizations to more effectively manage those things
working against them in their computing environment, even as business
and IT demands evolve.”
