GE’s
Critical Power business (NYSE: GE) has announced that CoreSpace,
a provider of dedicated servers and cloud services, is introducing a new
service level agreement guarantee for power protection in its Dallas
data center. The center now employs GE’s highly reliable SG Series,
three-phase uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system running in eBoost*
energy efficiency mode. One of the first infrastructure
improvements CoreSpace made when it acquired its Dallas data center
was to install a 500-kilovolt UPS system to replace more than 230
distributed single-phase UPS units connected to each of the individual
45-U1 (73.5-inch high) server racks. The GE UPS system
enabled a centralized power management approach, bringing a new level of uptime,
quality and reliability to CoreSpace’s Dallas data center, while
also generating significant energy cost savings.
Prior to deploying GE’s centralized power management system, CoreSpace’s
distributed UPS architecture used more than 100 kilovolt-amperes (kVA)
of power annually, with additional energy and dollars expended to cool
the more than 345,000 British thermal units (BTUs) produced by the 230
single-phase UPS units. Since deploying the GE SG Series UPS system,
CoreSpace is realizing energy savings of 92 kVA a year, which translates
to $88,800 per year in energy savings by running the UPS system at 99
percent efficiency in eBoost mode. The company also reduced its data
center cooling costs with the new GE system, cutting the total
single-phase UPS BTU output from 345,000 BTUs to just 14,000 BTUs for
the three-phase UPS system.
“Power efficiency is a critical factor in controlling the operational
expenses in our data centers,” said Liana Dunlap, president and CEO of
CoreSpace. “The GE UPS system has dramatically reduced our overall power
usage, significantly cutting our power costs and providing savings we
can pass directly to our customers. Also, as a full-service data center
and hosting provider, availability is a vital performance measurement
for us. Since installing the GE UPS system, we are able to deliver
higher levels of service and support for our customers.”
During CoreSpace’s shift to a centralized power management system, the
company also added other critical infrastructure, such as backup diesel
power generation from Cummins, which provides 1,500 kVA of extended
power backup. Additionally, a GE ZTS
automatic transfer switch provides seamless switching between the GE
UPS system and external power generation systems. CoreSpace also is
using GE’s
iUPS Guard to remotely monitor and diagnose the status of the UPS
system, a GE surge protection device and GE Critical
Power Services, which provide around-the-clock response services 365
days a year.
“GE’s energy efficient and reliable UPS technology not only boosted
CoreSpace’s energy savings, it helped shift their business model to
expand their service reliability for a host of new data center
customers,” said Jeff Schnitzer, general manager, GE’s Critical Power
business.
