UPS: Extended arm to support stable and continuous data center operation
IT and data center managers are facing an increasingly pressing energy challenge as global data center power consumption is expected to double between 2022 and 2026, reaching more than 1,000 terawatt hours, according to estimates from the International Energy Agency (IEA). This is equivalent to the entire average electricity output of a country.
Minimizing the carbon footprint in data centers is a key focus in the digital age
In response, energy managers have adopted a range of decarbonization support solutions. Common solutions include increasing the use of renewable energy and energy-efficient equipment, both for computing and cooling needs. Smart technologies enable monitoring and analysis of energy consumption, helping managers identify unnecessary energy consumption and thereby reduce carbon emissions more effectively.
In particular, the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) plays an essential role in this sustainable strategy, helping to protect and maintain the stability and continuity of the power source to operate the technology and equipment of the data center. Many modern UPS systems integrate lithium-ion batteries, replacing lead-acid batteries, helping to reduce maintenance costs and improve energy efficiency.
APC UPS: Solution suggestions from leading experts, aiming to accelerate carbon footprint reduction
Schneider Electric, one of the leading experts in sustainable energy solutions, has been promoting the development of APC UPS product lines. Since 2007, Schneider Electric has merged with APC and invested heavily in technology, designing modern UPS lines to improve power consumption efficiency for data centers and businesses.
According to Mr. Dong Mai Lam, General Director of Schneider Electric Vietnam and Cambodia: "Reducing carbon footprint is an inevitable requirement in the context of industries moving towards sustainable development. IT and data centers are one of the leading industries to help other sectors accelerate development, so it is also necessary to prioritize solutions to support this industry in decarbonization. UPS is a small device, but it is important in maintaining stable operations, which is why Schneider Electric focuses on investing in this product".
Schneider Electric UPS ecosystem
Schneider Electric has developed many APC UPS product lines to suit the diverse needs of businesses in Vietnam. Typical examples include the APC Easy UPS line for small and medium-sized businesses, with the ability to effectively protect power sources at reasonable costs. The APC Smart-UPS line is specially designed for data centers and IT systems with high requirements for continuity, allowing for up to 2.5 times performance expansion while still ensuring high energy efficiency. These are all suitable options for businesses aiming for a sustainable energy platform.
With continuous improvements, APC UPS products from Schneider Electric not only ensure stable power supply but also have the ability to recycle materials such as plastic and metal, helping businesses optimize operating costs and minimize emissions. At the same time, Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure™ ecosystem provides remote energy monitoring and management capabilities, helping data managers comprehensively monitor system performance and optimize energy savings.
