Italian data center equipment vendor Riello UPS has launched its most advanced power supply yet.

The Multi Power UPS is a modular, three-phase, double conversion uninterruptible power supply system capable of supporting power densities of up to 400kW per square meter - making it suitable for latest high-density servers.

“The modern data center not only has to ensure constant availability but also has to meet a number of other driving factors such as carbon reduction and profitability targets. At Riello, we took this on board and set a mission to develop an outstanding modular solution which is perfect for meeting the power demands of the modern data center,” said Leo Craig, general manager of Riello UPS Ltd.

The announcement was made at the Datacenter World trade show, taking place in London on Wednesday and Thursday.

Power-ups

Each Multi Power module can independently support loads of up to 42kW. Up to 28 hot-swappable modules can be used in a single Multi Power UPS system for a combined load reaching impressive 1176kW.

Riello says its latest UPS can maintain up to 96.5 percent efficiency in online mode of operation, even at loads as low as 20 percent. It features a color touch-enabled display on the front of the rack, which offers instant visibility into the health of UPS modules and batteries. Control of the system is de-centralized – so if the screen fails, the PSU will continue operating as normal.

The vendor adds that modular approach makes advanced N+2 redundancy more affordable.

“We’ve designed certain power components ourselves to ensure the very best operational reliability of the product which will protect the most critical IT load and any mission critical applications,” Craig explained.

“The Multi Power is one of our most advanced products and we’re confident it can be placed at the top of the class as one of the most innovative and resilient modular power solutions available on the market today.”
