Eaton demonstrates industry-leading power management innovations at Data Centre World 2017
Eaton has concluded an epic two-day demonstration at the Data Centre World 2017 show held at Marina Bay Sands on October 11-12, 2017. Data Centre World is the most influential gathering of data centre expertise. The entire exhibition housed more than 300 industry leading suppliers as well as 15,000 local and international delegates to discuss the latest innovations in this dynamic industry.

Eaton showcased its latest innovations designed to re-energise data centres beyond just a storage hub, envisioning that data centers, whether big or small, should deliver unprecedented reliability, energy efficiency and optimal uptime with minimal cost and risk.

During the demonstration, Eaton featured three of its world-class solutions:

•    Eaton Connected
The all-in-one solution is pre-designed and pre-connected to bring the perfect combination of proven UPS and low voltage switchgear together. The end result – a highly efficient and cost-effective solution that satisfies power distribution needs with the reliability of UPS back-up power. That means customers no longer need to source, install, connect and maintain UPS and its switchgear individually. Designed with customer needs in mind, the Eaton Connected empowers businesses with the flexibility to customise back-up power UPS options according to their specific operational needs.

•    Micro Data Centre
As more companies shift their IT resources to on-site edge computing, there is a need for businesses to have a low-cost micro-data centre that can be stored in both office environments and indoor manufacturing sites with fully-contained environmental solutions. To create precisely this solution, Eaton designed the Micro Data Centre - a single enclosure integrated solution for IT equipment that comes fully configured with Eaton’s industry-leading power systems, rack and cooling unit, and integrated monitoring system. Not only does it help businesses save installation time, it also minimises the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) while maximising network reliability for customers.

•    Eaton 5P Lithium-ion rack mount UPS
To ensure that customers are being supported across all fields, Eaton unveiled the Eaton 5P Lithium-ion rackmount UPS for its superior manageability and energy metering capabilities designed to improve their business management. Designed with remote offices, industrial and public transportation facilities in mind, they can leverage the increased lifespan of up to eight years from the lithium-ion UPS, allowing IT managers to “set it and forget it”. A future with lithium-ion UPS is a future where businesses can easily deploy the 5P without being plagued with the worries of maintenance or refresh challenges. These worries that are commonly associated with the traditional UPS with lead-acid batteries will soon be a thing of the past.

“Data Centre World 2017 was an important milestone for Eaton to reinforce our global position as a leading thought leader in diversified power management and distribution,” said Isabel Chong, country manager, Eaton Singapore. “Our showcase has emphasised Eaton’s focus in delivering the right solution for the right application. We have also reinforced our unwavering commitment to creating not just innovative products, but also maintaining powerful customer relationships built upon excellence, through delivering best-in-class power solutions that help achieve their business needs.”

Through the years, Eaton continues to uphold its well-known reputation for reliability and its longstanding commitment in ensuring safe solutions for customers. It is of great importance to lower operational failure risks that could threaten the success of customer businesses.  All components are carefully designed and selected for implementation throughout the systems. Customers can be assured that all systems and associated components have undergone the most stringent testing against UPS and switch gear standards, validating their reliability during operation as well as resilience in challenging short-circuit conditions.
