Can your strategy to address growth and reconfiguration in the datacenter save capital and operating expenses? Systems with the highest electrical and operational efficiency are also the most flexible infrastructure growth execution tools, aligning the datacenter with your overall business goals.

Available today is a solution that can be used in multiple environments, and does not require a rip-out to enable high density systems. APC has developed an architecture that employs a hybrid approach to in-row, perimeter, and back-room, allowing them to peacefully coexist in any datacenter. The ability to grow the capacity or redundancy of the critical power system without major disruption to the data center has long been the cornerstone of APC InfraStruXure®. That same architecture is now available in an Ultra High Efficiency UPS and a Modular Power Distribution Unit (PDU). The new APC Symmetra® PX 250/500 and Modular PDU enable datacenter managers to reconfigure, expand and contract, without loss of efficiency or down time.

This webcast describes how APC has addressed the total power system through modular, scalable, hot-swap technology with the highest electrical efficiency available worldwide. Mitigation of risks to availability and operating expenditures are met with a simple, well-designed engineering approach to three-phase critical power and distribution.

Highlights include:
- The new APC Symmetra PX 250/500 is a modular, scalable UPS which can now support loads up to 500kW, supporting higher processing loads that draw more power at the rack.
- What "Ultra-High Efficiency" means to high density environments - efficiency this high is required to preserve cooling capacity for the servers.
- The path to scalability, 25kW at a time, without going to bypass, a key capability as the consolidated or virtualized environment becomes more critical.
- Critical power architectures that mitigate risks to downtime through redundant components without efficiency penalties.
- How a scalable, hot-swap Breaker Module can make moves and changes a non-issue.
- What higher voltage rack distribution can mean, in floor space, whip sizing, and electrical usage.
- How higher distribution voltages can reduce whip sizes, freeing more space in the rack for data cabling.
- Benefits of scalability from the UPS to the rack means to end users.
