Sustained Innovation
Sustained Innovation
a n d c u s t o m e r c o l l a b o r a t i o n
While many companies develop new technologies, few can
create an environment where those new technologies can
be built into ongoing, sustainable product lines that stand
the test of time. That’s exactly what Emerson Network
Power is doing under the leadership of Ed Feeney, Bob Bauer,
and Jay Geldmacher.
For example, Emerson Network Power works hand in hand
with many customers to develop embedded power supplies
for a broad range of electronic equipment. Together, these
teams develop solutions for the unique requirements of end-
users by applying new technologies and solutions.
These customers want smaller, more-powerful power
supplies, which requires new topologies and new ways to
dissipate heat. And with an eye toward higher efciency,
we’re striving to reduce power consumption to better meet
new government legislation and customer demands.
Data centers are particularly vulnerable to the excessive heat
generated by large server and storage systems. To address
this, Emerson Network Power technologies deliver the
precision cooling and backup power systems used in these
critical data centers, where hundreds of servers and storage
systems access trillions of megabytes of information. As
these data centers continue to evolve and as centralized
computing re-emerges on the scene, Emerson technologies
will continue to keep pace.
The benets of this return to centralized computing are
numerous. IT staff can reduce operating costs by running
fewer data centers more efciently while exercising better
control of the applications that users require. This can
improve security, better protecting the data and avoiding
attacks. In a single controllable environment, the IT staff can
securely maintain this critical infrastructure and maximize
server availability for users around the world.
All of this requires higher levels of clean, reliable power,
and efcient cooling systems, both offered by Emerson
Network Power.
