（哥倫布 俄亥俄州）2007年3月27日消息，隨著IT設(shè)備增長對動(dòng)力的要求，IT業(yè)的管理是努力平衡其營業(yè)費(fèi)用和成長需要。艾默生網(wǎng)絡(luò)能源公司“關(guān)鍵業(yè)務(wù)全保障”的全球領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，于今天宣布SoftScale™ 技術(shù)面世。SoftScale™，第一個(gè)基于UPS可測量性的軟件，允許企業(yè)購買他們所需要的UPS電源，并可提供在將來只需下載一個(gè)軟件就可獲得的可伸展性附加功能。 SoftScale 通過由IT提供的Liebert 適應(yīng)架構(gòu)傳送數(shù)據(jù)。數(shù)據(jù)中心也因此擁有了增強(qiáng)的可彈性操作、高實(shí)用性和低成本特性?？蓮椥圆僮魍ㄟ^快速所應(yīng)可改變數(shù)據(jù)中心設(shè)備或動(dòng)力高備中不可預(yù)知變化。擁有SoftScale 的UPS系統(tǒng)可實(shí)現(xiàn)不用附加硬件更新、最小化計(jì)算部分、維修UPS系統(tǒng)就可獲得改良的實(shí)用性。當(dāng)需要附加功能時(shí)，消除UPS安裝成本，其本身的成本還可被降低。 SoftScale “如果你的動(dòng)力系統(tǒng)不能適應(yīng)變化，你的數(shù)據(jù)中心也不能適應(yīng)變化”艾默生能源公司能源工程師副總裁Peter Panfil說，“擁有SoftScale，我們可提供一個(gè)全新的、不需插入的增加UPS功能的IT管理器。想象一下，如果成長中的家庭可以用購買3間臥室的錢購買5間臥室，只使用3間臥室的空間，直到他們需要更多的空間，隨后再獲得進(jìn)入多余空間的鑰匙。這就是SoftScale帶來的可伸縮性” SoftScale在2007早夏，隨同Liebert NX生產(chǎn)線上就可以上面市。系統(tǒng)將能測量從40-80 kVA, 80-120 kVA，20 kVA增加量范圍內(nèi)的機(jī)器。 UPS的優(yōu)先設(shè)計(jì)增強(qiáng)了SoftScale性能，并最大化UPS的效率曲線。這一性能允許UPS可在同樣的高頻率下，使50％的利用率達(dá)到100％利用率的效果。在減少負(fù)重的情況下操作UPS消除任何效率損失。SoftScale技術(shù)充許小數(shù)據(jù)中心利用高可靠性優(yōu)勢獲取附加效益，與小型UPS相比大型UPS消耗功率要低一些。 SoftScale是理想的組織小型或中型數(shù)據(jù)中心，既能面對在IT操作系統(tǒng)中或預(yù)期增長型不可預(yù)知的變化，又可限定資金流動(dòng)的需要。近來，艾默生能源公司對這一市場的研究表明，市場潛力很大，并對選擇UPS系統(tǒng)有很大的影響力。 紐約Time Warner Cable設(shè)備部主任Sal Azzaro說：“艾默生能源公司對這一新技術(shù)的市場做出了反應(yīng)。我們的動(dòng)力技術(shù)需要改變，就像我們增加新客戶擴(kuò)展我們的服務(wù)一樣。IT管理器現(xiàn)在可以不用附加UPS硬件提高性能，使得在今后怎么操作更簡單上創(chuàng)造了一個(gè)有彈性的層面。SoftScale技術(shù)與Liebert NX平行性能一起，在提供內(nèi)置冗余的同時(shí)提高可靠性和單一化服務(wù)” 更多關(guān)于艾默生能源公司信息和Liebert技術(shù)請登錄www.Liebert.com. original text [COLOR=#708090]Emerson Network Power Announces Software-Based Scalability for Liebert UPS Systems 3/27/2007 ... SoftScale technology enables simpler, faster response to changes in data center power requirements Columbus, Ohio （March 27, 2007） — With power requirements for IT equipment rising, and IT management struggling to balance operating expenses and growth, Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson （NYSE: EMR） and the global leader in enabling Business-Critical Continuity™, today announced SoftScale™ technology. SoftScale, the first software-based approach to UPS scalability, allows enterprises to purchase the UPS capacity they need today while providing the flexibility to unlock additional capacity in the future through a software download. SoftScale delivers on the promise of Liebert Adaptive Architecture by providing IT and data center managers with increased operating flexibility, higher availability, and lower total cost of ownership. Operating flexibility is enabled through faster response to unpredictable changes in data center equipment or power requirements. UPS systems with SoftScale offer improved availability by growing capacity without adding hardware, minimizing the parts count and maintaining the simplicity of the UPS system. Cost of ownership is reduced by eliminating the cost associated with UPS installation when additional capacity is required. SoftScale “If your power system can‘t adapt to change, your data center can‘t adapt to change,” said Peter Panfil, vice president of power engineering for Liebert Solutions, Emerson Network Power. “With SoftScale, we are providing IT managers with a new, non-intrusive way to add UPS capacity as their needs change. Imagine if a growing family could buy a five-bedroom home for the price of a three-bedroom home and use only three bedrooms until they need more space, then obtain keys to the additional rooms. That‘s the kind of flexibility SoftScale provides.” SoftScale will be available in early summer of 2007 in the Liebert NX product line. Systems will scale from 40 to 80 kVA, or from 80 to 120 kVA, in 20 kVA increments. SoftScale is enabled by advances in UPS design that optimize the UPS efficiency curve. This allows the UPS to operate with the same high efficiency at 50 percent utilization as it does at 100 percent utilization, eliminating any efficiency penalties of operating a UPS at a reduced load. SoftScale technology has the added benefit of allowing smaller data centers to take advantage of the higher reliability and lower cost per kilowatt of a large UPS compared to a smaller UPS. SoftScale is ideal for organizations with small and medium size data centers that are facing unpredictable demands on their IT systems or are anticipating future growth but want to limit capital spending to current needs. In a recent Emerson Network Power study of this market, capacity growth was cited as one of the top three criteria purchasers and influencers consider when selecting a UPS system. “Emerson Network Power is responding to the market with this new technology,” said Sal Azzaro, director of facilities for Time Warner Cable of New York City. “Our power technology needs change as we add new customers and expand our services. IT managers can now increase capacity without adding UPS hardware, which creates a level of flexibility in how we will plan for the future that simply hasn‘t existed. SoftScale technology, along with the Liebert NX paralleling capabilities, can increase reliability and simplify service while providing built-in redundancy.” For more information on Liebert technologies and services from Emerson Network Power, visit www.Liebert.com.[/COLOR]
