Emerson Network Power Advances Intelligent Monitoring and Communications of Power and Cooling Equipment
Share:
Columbus, Ohio [July 24, 2007] - Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson (NYSE: EMR) and the global leader in enabling Business-Critical Continuity(TM), today introduced two new products designed to increase the flexibility and availability of communications among data center support systems.
The Liebert vNSA network switch allows multiple Ethernet-ready devices to communicate and function as a team, while the Liebert SiteLink-E provides a communications link between existing building management systems and Liebert precision cooling and AC and DC power systems.
"Critical space monitoring is becoming a vital tool to help data center managers gain necessary insight into the availability, reliability and emerging needs of their data centers, " said Tom McNamara, product manager, Liebert monitoring, Emerson Network Power. "The Liebert vNSA and Liebert SiteLink-E are advanced monitoring technologies designed with an ease-of-installation and flexibility to allow data center managers to choose and quickly install the solution that best meets their needs."
When equipped with a Liebert iCOM display, the Liebert vNSA permits interconnecting cooling units to work together and facilitates lead/lag operation. It is available in four models, with some featuring an embedded Liebert iCOM display, that support from four to 13 connected units. The switch supports twisted-pair RJ45 CAT5 network cables and features auto-negotiation, auto-polarity and auto-crossing, eliminating the need for crossover cables.
The Liebert vNSA is encased within a lockable, metal enclosure that can be mounted on the wall or under the floor. Because of its secure enclosure, the switch can be used in a variety of applications to ensure availability of connected network equipment. For example, on a new construction site, contractors can use the Liebert vNSA to bring up a network without having to wait for a computer room to be completed.
The Liebert SiteLink-E is an Ethernet-Ready device designed to communicate with a wide-range of Liebert precision cooling units, UPS systems, and power distribution units. The product can be plugged directly into the Ethernet, which makes start-up easier and less costly. Information may be routed via a BACnet, Modbus or LONWorks(TM) network to a Building Automation System (BAS) workstation. It is available in three models that can communicate with up to 12 different pieces of equipment. The Liebert SiteLink-E supports all Liebert protocols and can be mounted on the wall or the floor.
