（哥倫布 俄亥俄州）2007年3月27日消息，隨著IT設備增長對動力的要求，IT業的管理是努力平衡其營業費用和成長需要。艾默生網絡能源公司“關鍵業務全保障”的全球領導者，于今天宣布SoftScale™ 技術面世。SoftScale™，第一個基于UPS可測量性的軟件，允許企業購買他們所需要的UPS電源，并可提供在將來只需下載一個軟件就可獲得的可伸展性附加功能。 SoftScale 通過由IT提供的Liebert 適應架構傳送數據。數據中心也因此擁有了增強的可彈性操作、高實用性和低成本特性?？蓮椥圆僮魍ㄟ^快速所應可改變數據中心設備或動力高備中不可預知變化。擁有SoftScale 的UPS系統可實現不用附加硬件更新、最小化計算部分、維修UPS系統就可獲得改良的實用性。當需要附加功能時，消除UPS安裝成本，其本身的成本還可被降低。 SoftScale “如果你的動力系統不能適應變化，你的數據中心也不能適應變化”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生產線上就可以上面市。系統將能測量從40-80 kVA, 80-120 kVA，20 kVA增加量范圍內的機器。 UPS的優先設計增強了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％的利用率達到100％利用率的效果。在減少負重的情況下操作UPS消除任何效率損失。SoftScale技術充許小數據中心利用高可靠性優勢獲取附加效益，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據中心，既能面對在IT操作系統中或預期增長型不可預知的變化，又可限定資金流動的需要。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系統有很大的影響力。 紐約Time Warner Cable設備部主任Sal Azzaro說：“艾默生能源公司對這一新技術的市場做出了反應。我們的動力技術需要改變，就像我們增加新客戶擴展我們的服務一樣。IT管理器現在可以不用附加UPS硬件提高性能，使得在今后怎么操作更簡單上創造了一個有彈性的層面。SoftScale技術與Liebert NX平行性能一起，在提供內置冗余的同時提高可靠性和單一化服務” 更多關于艾默生能源公司信息和Liebert技術請登錄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]
