© 2003 APC corporation. You have a large NCPI investment Cooling Equipment: 6% Power Equipment: 17% Racks: 3% Engineering & Installation: 19% Space: 17% Electricity: 27% Service: 13% Typical 10 yr lifecycle TCO from $80K to $140K per rack Source: APC White Paper #6

© 2003 APC corporation. Network-Critical Physical Infrastructure Challenges  Rapid changes in IT technology  High density  High operating/service costs  Increasing availability expectations  Server consolidation  Regulatory requirements In response, APC is changing the way the world designs, installs, operates, manages and maintains Network- Critical Physical Infrastructure (NCPI)

© 2003 APC corporation. 10 X Availability Agility TCO Value x =  Equipment Reliability  Mean-Time-To-Recover  Human Error Your entitlement: Reduce downtime by 90% 80% less 50% less

Standardisation enables improved availability  Modularise  Pre-test systems in the factory  Hot swappable  Pre-Integrate Power- Cooling-Rack Management & diagnostics  One-Time Engineering  Unique training requirements  On-site assembly  On-site testing  Custom programming StandardiseTo Eliminate Standardisation accelerates learning at all levels, reducing human error and increasing availability
