Main benefits & Achieved Results : 

At the moment Walhalla uses now uses Eaton’s Variable Module Management System (VMMS) and Energy Saver System (ESS) technologies, helping the company achieve greater efficiencies without compromising on data centre reliability (achieved 99 per cent efficiency, as EATON's technology allows the UPS to provide mains current to a load when the input is within acceptable voltage and frequency limits). Plus, at lower load levels, VMMS maximises system efficiency in doubleconversion mode by automatically concentrating the load on the minimum number of UPS power modules. In Walhalla, these technologies are implemented in such a way that one of the electricity feeds uses ESS, whilst the other feed uses VMMS technology. Not only are the highly sophisticated from Eaton technologies helping to ensure maximum data reliability, but they also help increase the centre’s overall productivity and improve energy efficiency by optimising the UPS’s energy consumption. Walhalla has received a Tier IV rating from the Uptime Institute, which is the most stringent level and implies that the centre is able to guarantee 99.995 per cent availability in all circumstances. Walhalla was also recognised in 2010 with a Data Centre Leaders’ Award for Innovation in the Medium Data Centre.

Presentation of the initiative: 

To ensure uninterrupted power for the data centre, it was required a power quality solutions provider that shared its own commitment to using the most advanced technologies to deliver the best possible results: reducing power consumption, achieving maximum energy efficiency and ecologically innovative solutions. Ultimately, the company needed high-performance Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPSs) that would offer significant savings in power consumption.
