The Symmetra
PX 250/500 fits
anywhere, with no
rear access required.
It is scalable up to
2 MW, giving you
more power in the
smallest possible
footprint.
Right-sized, modular power – the key to virtualizing with true efficiency!
If you haven’t already virtualized your servers, you’re probably seriously
considering it. What you may not know about virtualization is this: modular
power is critical to maximizing the gains made through virtualization. Otherwise,
overabundant power simply negates the efficiency advances you’ve made.
Now, combined with our new three-phase modular power distribution unit
(PDU), the modular power you know from the APC by Schneider Electric
acclaimed line of three-phase Symmetra PX UPS units is more flexible than
ever. The new modular PDU lets you go up to 2 MW quickly in a modular,
scalable fashion. Only APC by Schneider Electric gives you this means to scale
up or down at the speed of business itself. What’s more, our modular power
configures in parallel up to 2 MW, for enterprises with consolidated servers
that are growing on a larger scale. In addition, the parallel-capable PX now can
support system-level redundancy if you need it.
The PDU – modular power’s newest frontier.
Our truly modular PDU technology holds the key to enabling you to quickly
align IT capabilities to your business needs—literally in a snap! With the plugin
modular PDU, you don’t need to schedule outages as the modules can be
added easily without system interruption at any time of the day. And you no
longer have to predict your future power circuit needs. In fact, you can add
circuits as fast as you add the power modules themselves. That’s right-sized
scalability and flexibility!
Scale up or down as your business demands.
Scaling up or down no longer means powering down or attempting to
forecast future use. So now you ensure that your IT is truly in line with
your ever-changing business strategy.
Next Generation InfraStruxure
Our modular power and modular three-phase power
distribution units are part of the Next Generation
InfraStruxure solution, the APC by Schneider Electric
one-of-a-kind scalable, adaptable, and “on-demand”
data center architecture.
The flexibility of the InfraStruxure
architecture:
Turn any room into a worldclass
data center. InfraStruxure
can be deployed on its own as
a modular, scalable, customized
solution that’s easy to design,
build, and install for small and
first-time data center environments.
Extend the life of your data
center. Existing data centers can
add on InfraStruxure components
to existing architecture and,
for increased value, use our
management software.
Scale up with step-and-repeat
modular architecture for large
data centers. Medium/large
environments can deploy
InfraStruxure as a zoned,
pay-as-you-grow, scalable
architecture solution.
