Market Dynamics – Power Demand

Cummins Confidential

More (& larger) facilities need to support our “connected world”

– Mobile devices (3G/4G), VoIP, the cloud, virtualization

Increasing power within facilities– Power Density of Servers (5kw 20kw

per rack)

– Cooling growing less rapidly – load profile changes

– This will increase w/ technology refreshes

Top Five Considerations for Specifying Data Center Power Systems

Achieving the five nines……………………99,999% uptime

1. Ensure Redundancy, Avoid Duplicity (pre fuel filters vs. oil/coolant filters)

2. Seek Long Term Reliability to Maximize Uptime (selection of proven, tested and reliable equipment procured within an integrated system)

3. Limit Vendor Sources for Ease of Installation (Single Vendor w.r.t installation, trouble shooting and integration)

4. Select a Vendor with a Proven Installation/Service Record (available access to reliable services and accurate diagnostics)

5. Deploy a Focused Product Portfolio (understand equipment capabilities vs. non linear/linear load portfolio’s)
