Today’s data centers are also in a state of constant change.
New equipment is being installed to replace old equipment
almost daily. High-density computing has led to high heat
density loads, creating unique combinations of traditional
cooling needs and hot spots that require more-advanced
solutions. Emerson Network Power stands at the leading
edge of this challenge with our stability and endurance to
keep pace with technology.
Additionally, Emerson Network Power works to eliminate
heat at the source and enable high-density computing in a
way that will reduce operating costs. The 2006 acquisition
of Knürr has become even more critical, as users seek out
unique solutions to package power and cooling technologies
in the rack enclosures that house critical equipment.
While centralized computing has become the trend with
large businesses, medium-sized and small companies are
often less-prepared to deal with natural or man-made
disasters that can disrupt their business. Companies that
see the risks of being unprotected are turning to Emerson
Network Power for business-critical continuity solutions to
stay up and running, should the unthinkable occur.
The telecommunications landscape is changing rapidly
all over the world. Developing countries are leapfrogging
traditional technologies and installing latest-generation
communications networks. And they’re looking to Emerson
to power the networks that will deliver a variety of different
services to new customers. In the more-developed world,
new technologies, like Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
and Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), are creating unique
new challenges for both power and cooling.
How does Emerson sustain innovation? At our heart, we’re
an engineering organization. Emerson engineers understand
a wide variety of global applications and know how these
applications need to keep pace with technology. As the
playing eld changes, Emerson continues to deliver unique
leading-edge solutions to our customers.
