Columbus, Ohio [June 28, 2007] - Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson (NYSE: EMR) and the global leader in enabling Business-Critical Continuity(TM), today announced an agreement with Dell that can immediately help customers expand data center capacities while driving down energy costs.
The Dell-Liebert Energy Smart Solutions combine Dell's PowerEdge Energy Smart servers with Liebert XD and Liebert DS cooling systems to maximize data center performance, density and efficiency. The Dell-Liebert Energy Smart Solutions can deliver an 80 percent increase in performance and a 42 percent reduction in facility power, while maintaining high levels of business continuity and availability. This empowers customers to simplify their IT environments, reduce data center energy consumption and reclaim data center space.
The innovative Liebert XD system provides high-capacity overhead or rack-adjacent cooling using a high-efficiency pumped refrigerant to achieve dramatic increases in data center cooling efficiency while offering the ability to utilize existing data center infrastructure. This system is supported by the Liebert DS, the only precision cooling system to use variable capacity Digital Scroll compressors, which balances cooling across the room while controlling humidity and filtering out harmful dust and particles. These systems are matched to Del's PowerEdge servers to create a scalable and efficient high-performance computing environment.
"Power and cooling, and the technology systems they support, are more interdependent than ever," said Steve Madara, vice president and general manager, Liebert Precision Cooling, Emerson Network Power. "Working closely with leading technology manufacturers such as Dell enables us to optimize performance, achieve greater efficiencies and support higher-capacity environments."
The Dell-Liebert Energy Smart Solutions are available worldwide, and are being jointly marketed and sold by the two organizations.
