Validus DC Systems, a leading provider of integrated DC power infrastructures for datacenters and telecommunication facilities, has announced the wide availability of its complete family of DC products that reliably and efficiently distributes direct current (DC) power throughout mission-critical facilities. Validus' end-to-end solution is the first-ever, fully-integrated DC power infrastructure that delivers immediate energy-efficiency and reliability benefits along with significant long-term operational cost savings.
By eliminating the inefficiencies inherent in legacy AC power infrastructures such as multiple energy-wasting power conversions, transformations and unnecessary heat-producing components needed for AC system reliability, Validus' DC power infrastructure enables customers to increase processing power and server densities in new and existing facilities at a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) while reducing complexity, downtime, and power and cooling costs.
Additionally, Validus' "Hybrid Power" technology is designed to work alongside legacy AC systems, which allows customers to migrate from lower density AC infrastructures to higher density DC topologies at their own pace.
"The ability to efficiently scale and distribute DC power throughout the datacenter marks a paradigm shift for businesses struggling to handle the escalating power, performance and reliability demands of today's datacenter," said Rudy Kraus, CEO and founder, Validus DC Systems. "Validus' safe, reliable and modular end-to-end DC power solution overcomes all the traditional barriers to distributing DC power in the datacenter, and can help companies achieve greater levels of datacenter performance and yield up to a 40 percent improvement in energy efficiency."
Recognizing these substantial benefits, a leading global financial services firm headquartered in New York, NY is deploying the first commercial Validus DC System in one of their mission-critical datacenters.
