What is a UPS?
An uninterruptible power supply / source (UPS) or
battery/flywheel backup
backup, is an electrical apparatus
that provides emergency power to a load when the
input power source,
source typically mains power
power, fails.
fails
A UPS is typically used to protect computers,
computers data
centers, telecommunication equipment or other
electrical equipment where an unexpected power
disruption could cause injuries, fatalities, serious
business disruption or data loss

What is Distribution?
How power gets

f
th
the UPS tto th

Consists of:
Floor mount PDU
Breaker outputs to individual cabinets
Rack/Cabinet mount PDUs
Floor Distribution

Benefits
power can be routed to exactly where it is needed.
Cons
Expensive
Long
ong cable runs
Limited flexibility (adds moves changes)
Benefits
Shorter cable runs
runs, to cabinets
Moderate flexibility
Cons
Expensive, need an electrician for adds moves changes
CONS
More expensive
p
material upfront
p
Requires plenty of space above racks
for installation (not always available)
Becomes costly if too many turn
components are used (i.e.
( tees,
crosses, elbows)
Monitoring can be challenging, but
vendors are becomingg creative and
relying more on PDU
Once a vendor is chosen, system is not
compatible with other busway in the
market

Overall Approach
PDUs designed to support Blade Servers and Switches
Switches, ii.e.
e Cisco
Catalyst 6500 and Nexus 7000
Vertical and Horizontal PDUs can be used
Low / Mid / High Power Densities, depending on:
Style of server/switch
Number of servers/switches
/
Propose 2 PDUs per rack or cabinet offering for redundancy
