Super Micro Computer unveiled its new redundant uninterruptable power supply (UPS) technology, which the company says provides a cost-effective infrastructure solution for mission-critical server and storage operation.
The PWS-1K03B-1R is a redundant battery backup UPS module contained in the same form factor as a Supermicro redundant AC power supply (76W x 360D x 40.4H mm). This module is hot-swappable and fits Supermicro 1U/2U/3U/4U chassis, providing high output power in 1200W/1.5min and 1000W/3min options. These can be implemented in 1+1+1 (2 AC modules + 1 UPS Module), 1+2 (1 AC + 2 UPS at 2000W) or 2+2 (2 AC + 2 UPS at 2000W) configurations. For Supermicro s 1U servers, the PWS-206B-1R (54.5W x 220D x 40H mm) provides UPS protection in 200W/5min and 100W/15min options.
Supermicro s UPS battery backup modules are designed for high-availability, easy maintenance and are self-contained hot-swappable units, charging and delivering power through the internal connector. In the event of an AC power interrupt, reaction time of the module is real-time for the battery to take over and maintain load, providing time for failsafe switchover to an alternative power source or an orderly shutdown.
Incorporating Lithium-Ion cell technology, the modules feature I2C/Smart battery monitoring through remote management and provide long-life durability with 500 full charge/discharge cycles. This technology is suited for environments with AC reliability issues or locations in need of backup power solutions.
