Why DC in Data Centers?Why DC in Data Centers?Why DC in Data Centers?Why DC in Data Centers?Why DC in Data Centers?Why DC in Data Centers?Why DC in Data Centers?Why DC in Data Centers?Datacenter trends in the marketplace show needs for:
more efficient & more dense power solutions– more efficient & more dense power solutions – diversification between functions with various needs of availability – Wide range of different backup times
DC Power is a good alternative to AC backup when– efficiency savings and TCO are important
High requirements on redundancy and availability– High requirements on redundancy and availability– Extended backup time is needed – Modularity is required to allow gradual expansion
NetSure™ ITM – an Emerson DC Power solution developed especially for Datacenters

First NetSure prototype for data centers built 4 years agocenters built 4 years ago
Main objective for this system was to
S– Save energy
– Save footprint
R d i iti l i t t– Reduce initial investment compared to traditional UPS’s
First system installed at an Amazon data centerFirst system installed at an Amazon data center
The concept is further developed in NetSure ITM
