“For the past decade, MPower has successfully provided direct UPS sales, servicing and maintenance to its valued world-wide client base,” confirms Gerardo Lecuona, co-founder and sales director, CENTIEL. “To eliminate risks that may cause the computer downtime of business-critical applications, we are delighted to be working closely with the MPower team who will now supply and support CumulusPowerTM.
Michael Brooks, managing director, MPower UPS explains: “Availability continues to be a major concern for data center managers and those working in other critical environments. Unlike traditional multi-module systems, the CumulusPowerTM technology combines a unique Intelligent Module Technology (IMT), with a fault-tolerant parallel Distributed Active Redundant Architecture (DARA), to offer industry leading availability of 99.9999999%.
“This is achieved through fully independent and self-isolating intelligent modules, with individual power units, intelligence (CPU and communication logic), static bypass, control display and battery,” confirms Brooks. “In the unlikely event of a failure, modules can simply be swapped without transferring the load to raw mains.
“The solution has also been designed to reduce the total cost of ownership through low losses: high double conversion ef?ciency of 97% at the module level continues Brooks. “The small footprint contributes to achieving a high-power density of 412kW/m2 with an input THD < 3%.
“In addition, vertical and horizontal scalability means clients can pay as they grow as CumulusPowerTM intelligent modules can be connected in parallel configurations to provide redundancy or to increase a system’s total capacity,” confirms Brooks. “Serviceability is also straightforward with simple fault clearance and tool-less replaceable, hot-swappable modules.”
Brooks concludes: “As the latest generation of fault-tolerant modular UPS solutions, CumulusPowerTM will achieve unparalleled availability. Our dedicated team is excited now to introduce this solution to existing and new customers, taking power protection to the next level across the globe.”
