Data centres process and store critical information through equipment that is sensitive to humidity and temperature.

In a world where we expect everything to be availably instantly, it is in a way reassuring to find that power generation is more essential than ever. Of course, stability of electrical supply is high on every facilities manager’s check list, but so is business continuity; maintaining that ability to trade despite external influences.

Leading Swiss UPS manufacturer, CENTIEL , has announced it has strengthened its UK sales team with the addition of Stuart Cockburn as Sales Manager. Cockburn has more than 15 years’ experience in UPS field service engineering, technical customer support and sales and will now be responsible for supplying CENTIEL’s class leading UPS solutions throughout the Midlands and Wales area.

Mike Elms, Sales and Marketing Director, CENTIEL UK Ltd explains: “Stuart Cockburn’s extensive experience in the UPS marketplace makes him ideally placed to join our team of trusted advisors to our ever-growing client base across the UK. Stuart has an excellent technical understanding of UPS systems, particularly the modular concept and will be able to share his knowledge with clients to help them achieve an optimal power protection strategy through reliable, right-sized UPS solutions that match their critical load requirements but are also flexible to adapt to ever changing needs.”

Stuart Cockburn sales manager, CENTIEL UK Ltd confirms: “I am excited to join CENTIEL as a manufacturer at the very forefront of the industry. CENTIEL’s pioneering 4th generation modular UPS system: CumulusPower, with a single frame holding up to 600kW and parallel systems up to 3.6MW, is specifically designed to meet the needs of today’s ever changing customer requirements. It combines a unique Intelligent Module Technology (IMT), with a fault-tolerant parallel Distributed Active Redundant Architecture (DARA) which offers industry-leading availability of 99.9999999% (nine, nines), with low total cost of ownership (TCO) through its Maximum Efficiency Management (MEM) and low losses of energy.

“For smaller installations, PremiumTower a three-phase standalone UPS designed for critical loads of between 10kW and 60kW and EssentialPower a single-phase UPS for critical loads of between 1Kva and 20kVA are also available. I am looking forward to helping clients evaluate the very best solution to meet the needs of their critical power protection now and in the future, as well as offering comprehensive maintenance and support contracts for total peace of mind.

“From my previous work experience I already know several members of the CENTIEL UK team including Mike Elms, Louis McGarry, sales manager and David Bond, chairman of CENTIEL UK Ltd, as well as many colleagues from the manufacturing team in Switzerland. I trust them and know we have worked well together in the past, so I am now focused on contributing to the further growth of CENTIEL by providing the industry’s leading UPS solutions to an expanding customer base.”

Leading UPS manufacturer, CENTIEL, is to exhibit at Data Centre World Asia for the first time this year on booth B60. The exhibition held between 10 – 11 October 2018 at Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre in Singapore, will enable CENTIEL to demonstrate its pioneering 4th Generation Modular UPS system: CumulusPower designed to meet the critical power needs of data centres and other essential operations.

Cliff Lee, executive director of CENTIEL Asia Pacific confirms: “CENTIEL Asia Pacific is a new joint venture between my team and leading Swiss UPS manufacturer CENTIEL SA. However, we are already familiar with CENTIEL’s industry leading UPS technology as we have been a distributor since 2017. We already have more than 80 UPS systems installed in Singapore alone and are looking forward to showcasing CumulusPower at DCW Asia and introducing its many benefits to a wider marketplace.”

CumulusPower is a three-phase, modular UPS system which offers class leading “9 nines” system availability and very low total cost of ownership. Unlike traditional multi-module systems, the CumulusPower technology combines a unique Intelligent Module Technology (IMT), with a fault-tolerant parallel Distributed Active Redundant Architecture (DARA).

The excellence in system availability is achieved through fully independent and self-isolating intelligent modules – each with individual power units, intelligence (CPU and communication logic), static bypass, control, display and battery. In in the unlikely event of a module failure, the module can be quickly and safely swapped without transferring the load to raw mains.

In addition, CumulusPower has been designed to reduce the total cost of ownership through low losses: the high double conversion ef?ciency of 97.1% at the module level means it is currently the best solution available to protect data centre infrastructure as its configuration also reduces downtime risk, avoiding costly errors as well as increasing energy efficiency and it is now installed in data centres across the globe.

Cliff Lee continues: “CumulusPower is a scalable and flexible modular three-phase UPS system that combines class leading availability and efficiency that makes it ideal for use in small, medium and large datacenters. However, not every application requires a modular UPS and for these applications CENTIEL’s PremiumTower is perfect. It has the same Swiss built quality and innovative technology, with an online operating efficiency of 96.6% but comes in a lower cost, stand-alone cabinet. We will also be demonstrating PremiumTower at DCW Asia.

“We are looking forward to discussing the differences between Modular UPS technologies with delegates at the show. At the same time, we are also interested in meeting committed distributors in the Asia Pacific region whose goal is to supply world class UPS technology to protect their customers’ critical loads within their own countries.”

Businesses today are expected to grow fast, which means that their data centers must grow with them- quickly. As a result, data centers are faced with ever-growing demands; supplying more power within a smaller space and staying within budget, while maintaining mission-critical reliability and efficiency. 

Fortunately, there is new technology that can help firms grow quickly and efficiently without having to expand the footprint of the data center. These four innovations can help businesses create a scalable data center so growth doesn’t turn into a bad thing:
