info@upspowersupply.netHow to Choose UPS Configuration?
When choosing UPS, you need your own business needs, but also understand your own budget, set the investment capital and operating costs of the UPS system. You also need to understand the availability of UPS, then the UPS system you choose should not be those that can only tolerate a few hours of downtime. Your UPS configuration should be chosen to match your availability needs and your budget should be set based on the potential loss of data center downtime.
Cool the infrastructure
Add a cooling load to your facility based on the selected UPS system. For large data centers, even one or two percent reduction in UPS efficiency can translate into a lot of heat, and excess heat must be removed to protect the device.
Space
The UPS system takes up valuable data center floor space, so make sure that the configuration you choose does not require more space in your facility.
Redundant
You have a temporary backup power system (UPS), so why not back up your backups? Redundancy is necessary if availability is a key consideration in design. Adding a backup UPS can avoid single point of failure and improve the reliability of the power system. A typical backup configuration is N+1 (for example, if you need six UPSs to run your data center, the N+1 design involves seven devices), and the others include 2N, 2N+1, and so on. More redundancy can increase reliability or availability, but it also requires more equipment costs, more floor space and lower efficiency.
Design complexity
Simple designs are often less prone to human error and independent failure, but they may lack some of the features you would prefer to see in a UPS system. For example, a switch in an online interactive UPS system is a potential point of failure, and in a double conversion design, there is no such point of failure. In addition, complex designs may require more maintenance than simple designs.
Modular
If you anticipate that your IT needs will grow, you should consider a modular approach. “Advance purchases”, buying more equipment than you need now will cost you more capital, storage and potential operating expenses. The modular approach allows you to add infrastructure when needed, avoiding the need for growth before the previous facility becomes waste.
