by Brianna Crandall — February 20, 2015—Emerson Network Power, a business of global technology provider Emerson and a leader in maximizing availability, capacity and efficiency of critical infrastructure, recently introduced the Liebert GXT4 UPS system for businesses that need critical power protection at the edge of information technology (IT) infrastructures and remote locations. This true online, double conversion Liebert uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is available in 500VA to 3000VA at 120V; 3kVA to 10kVA ratings at 208V; and 700VA to 10kVA models at 230V.
The Liebert GXT4 UPS provides maximum resiliency and efficient power protection that allows IT managers and FMs to respond quickly and easily to changing and growing demands of critical computing performed outside of the core data center. The flexible configurations and design of the Liebert UPS enable faster and easier installation and deployment. Additionally, a high power factor provides more usable capacity, and the selectable Eco-Mode operation helps to maximize efficiency and improve power usage effectiveness (PUE).
“As financial, retail and other organizations move more sensitive compute and storage capacity to smaller IT centers, network closets and remote locations, it’s important that they have the mission-critical protection needed to support these distributed locations,” said Tracy Collins, vice president IT solutions, Emerson Network Power in North America. “The Liebert GXT4 UPS, when combined with the oversight and management offered by our remote monitoring software and the lifecycle support provided by our Liebert Power Assurance Package, provides an unbeatable level of critical and efficient power protection for growing demands on the edge.”
Liebert GXT4 UPS is convertible for rack-mount or tower configurations and includes multiple battery options, with certain models (5kVA to 10kVA) now containing factory-installed batteries. New software allows the predefined system configuration file to be quickly replicated across multiple models of the same size, making it easier to deploy more than one unit. The 500VA to 3kVA models of the Liebert UPS include two pairs of individually configurable power outlets that are controllable and programmable for various settings, such as load shedding or protecting against unauthorized use. Internal ambient temperature sensors also are now standard on all models of the Liebert UPS.
The ENERGY STAR-qualified Liebert GXT4 UPS may be purchased as part of the Liebert Power Assurance Package, which provides convenient and cost-effective support for power delivery to small, remote IT sites. More than an extended warranty, the package offers lifecycle support for the Liebert UPS, including a five-year protection plan with full parts coverage, installation and startup, 24/7 on-site repair or replacement service with a guaranteed four-hour response, and removal and disposal of existing equipment, including batteries, says Emerson.
Remote management and monitoring capabilities are provided through out-of-the-box compatibility with the Emerson Network Power Trellis platform data center infrastructure management system, and with the Liebert Nform and Liebert SiteScan monitoring and reporting systems.
The Liebert GXT4 is available for immediate shipment in the United States and Canada and in most regions of Asia Pacific—check locally for details.
