With a strong financial footprint, APC invests heavily in research and development to drive innovation in our industry. Over the past 10 years we have grown R&D spending 6-fold. This commitment is essential in maintaining a competitive advantage and delivering solutions to the marketplace that solve real problems our customers are facing. I am now going to turn the presentation over to Rob so he can discuss APC’s innovation as it relates to the data center.

3. APC Design Portal & InfraStruXure® Designer
Design and configure your entire network-critical physical infrastructure
There is a major change occurring in how we create data centers - today data centers are….
Custom-designed solutions, contains components from many suppliers, demands integration = complex web of designers / vendors / builders and the process is slow, complex, error-prone, creates defects, not predictable, hard to change
Many of these issues are not unique to this industry, as markets mature, both suppliers and customers begin to appreciate the value of moving from a component model to a solutions-oriented model.
APC is also transforming from being a component supplier to being a solution provider, integrating power, cooling, and rack infrastructure.
So what exactly do we mean by Network-Critical Physical Infrastructure?
Network-Critical Physical Infrastructure, or NCPI, is comprised of the systems that provide a secure and properly conditioned physical environment for your IT operations. This includes not only the “big two” – power and cooling – but also the racks and cabling, and the physical protection of site security and fire suppression. NCPI also includes the management tools and services that keep everything monitored and working as an integrated system that is reliable and predictable.
In the process of moving from components to a solutions-oriented model, APC has turned to Computer Aided Design.
Some of the Benefits of Cmputer Aided Design (or configuration tools):
Having a high level of technical knowledge to ensure data center design is correct and optimal
Keeping abreast of thousands of complex, highly technical products
Dependency upon a few, highly technical people, which may leave and take the information with them
Incorporating new trends and research into the design process
Every data center is different and requires customization to a certain degree, which slows down the design process
InfraStruXure Designer is one of APC’s configurators aimed at creating small, medium and large data centers
Data center design made easy

4. Basic in-row design
Hot-aisle air enters from rear preventing mixing
Cold air is supplied to the cold aisle
Heat captured and rejected to chilled water
Opening Comments:
~The InRow RC is designed for Horizontal Airflow.
Removing the heat from the hot aisle is a better return air path than placing the air conditioner along the perimeter.
~The InRow RC is placed in the row, minimizing air mixing by being coupled next to the source of the heat.
~The hot air enters from the rear of the unit and passes through the cooling coil.
~Where the heat is captured and rejected to chilled water
~Cold air is then supplied to the room.
~The InRow RC is suitable for use on a hard or raised floor.
Can operate on hard floor or raised floor

4-6x the density capability of raised floor room oriented cooling systems

7. Staying ahead of the curve
Current solutions
Blade Servers
Data Center rated rack power capacity
Another big change to the data center infrastructure is driven by high density computing, such as blade servers.
Blade servers are going to cause a major revolution in how we build data centers.
Clearly, these challenges must be answered. Any next generation approach to building data centers must deal with
The changing definition of failure
Datacenters in constant flux with shor planning windows
And high density computing
But at the same time that we meet these technical challenges, we must deliver business value. We can’t afford to simply attack technical problems without considering value.
Customers and service providers have large investments in NCPI and I would like to propose a new way we can think about the business value of that investment.
And once we think about value, I hope you will agree with me that not only are modular standardized data centers needed, they are inevitable.
Current cooling technology meets the demand!

8. Predicable, Efficient & Simplified Power Protection
Symmetra® PX 160kW
Replaces the Symmetra PX 80kW
Double the power
160kW vs. 80kW
25% more battery capacity
Increased charging capacity
Better Efficiency
Smaller Footprint
63% less foot print to comparable PX80 Solution
Integrated PDU-XR
High Power Module Power Density (16kW)
160kW (N+0) or 144kW (N+1)
True Hot-Scalability
User Scalable Modular Power distribution
Eliminates Downtime
Reduces TCO
The Symmetra PX is a flexible system, built around the same modular and scalable design principles that have made our other Symmetra Families into world class products. The PX160 greatly increases power density and effectively doubles the capacity of the older 80K model while decreasing the foot print. To provide the run times needed to support the higher power density the power capacity of the batteries has been increased by 25%. These batteries are housed in a redesigned PDU battery enclosure, that reduces the package down from 3 racks to 2 for and overall 60% reduction in foot print.

9. PDU + XR - Features FRONT REAR Space Saving 3-in-1 design
Modular Distribution + MBP (Front)
9 Battery Strings Rack (Rear)
Utilizes previously unused rear rack space
50+% space saving over legacy approach
600mm x 2000mm x 1070mm (WxHxD)
The power module frame is then placed next to the PDU-XR. This frame is a fantastic pieces of design work. On the top front you have your breakers. Towards the floor you have you maintenance bypass panel and sub feeds, and around back you have the battery cabinet. This 3 in 1 design, provides a 50% space savings over the previous generations PDU and Battery cabinets.
