As data centers get ever larger, ABB is innovating new technology to improve and simplify power quality for medium voltage applications. For TEPCO Energy Partner Inc. (TEPCO EP) the ABB PCS120 Medium Voltage UPS was the optimal solution. 

Ericsson: Efficiency, sustainability and reliability

Lefdal: Europe's greenest data center

For us, ABB is a strategic partner. The BMS, PMS and EMS form the heart and brain of the site, and here they are all integrated into one system. This helps in easier monitoring of the facility. That’s what I rely on when I am sleeping at home at night." - Mikael Anckers, Head of Building Operations at Ericsson’s Global ICT Center

The Lefdal Mine data center is built 150 meters into a mountain in what was formerly an underground mine for excavating olivine, a green, high density-mineral used in steel production. With ABB technology Lefdal Mine Datacenter plans to become Europe’s biggest, with the smallest environmental footprint.

Serverius: The value of a strong partnership

Alticom, a tele-communications company in Netherlands partnered with ABB for electrification and remote monitoring and control of their micro data centers in tele-communications towers. 

"Strong partnership for us with ABB is not only outsourcing your electricity needs but working together to get the perfect solution inside our current data centers." - Gijs van Gemert, Serverius IT infrastructure 

XDC+: Sustainable and secure

GIGA: Designing for scalability

ABB provided a secure power supply system and automation infrastructure management system to XDC+'s Uptime Tier IV eco-data center cluster of more than 80 MW and 10,000 cabinets. 

ABB and GIGA worked together to standardize a design that could be deployed quickly, fit within the physical space constraints and be used for easy expansion as they grow in their facility.

NextDC: 100% uptime

DODID: Powering the Digital Economy

NEXTDC's brand promise is to provide their customers with 100% uptime. ABB power infrastructure and monitoring solutions help them deliver on that. 

DODID, a start-up in Singapore,specializing in providing co-location services for companies looking for a value-added Uptime Institute Tier III Certified Cloud Service Provider. ABB was selected to help DODID realize uptime, speed and yeild.

Star of Bosphorus: Reliability and rapid installation 

Volico: rightsizing your data center

“We chose ABB because of its ability to supply leading-edge solutions and unparalleled technical support,” said NGN Cloud and Datacenter Services Presales Manager, Emin Kebeli. “ABB provided us with constant access to all of its relevant product specialists, who personally supported the management of the project, product selection and design of the switchboard panels.”

Volico Data Centers’ owner/operations manager built his center with a pay-as-we-grow concept in mind. But when it came time to grow, it was a no-go because his UPS didn’t have the needed flexibility and scalability. ABB’s new Conceptpower DPA 500 UPS provided the easy scalability and reliability needed to support his growth. 

Safe Host: keeping the power on

Systemec: 100% uptime

Safe Host built Switzerland's largest carrier-neutral colocation facility designed to host the most mission critical computer systems, with fully redundant subsystems. Safe Host turned to ABB to ensure that power is distributed without any interruptions and energy-efficiency and green goals were met. 

“Connectivity is very important,” says Jos Derkx, General Manager at Systemec. “Industry depends on it, worldwide. It’s a big decision for a customer to take the data ‘heart’ out of their own facility. Downtime for our customers would kill their businesses. They need 24/7 uptime. At Systemec, we live on trust. We sell trust. And ABB could fulfil that 100%.”

Improving data center performance at the University Hospital Basel with MNS®-Up 

At the University Hospital Basel all patient information is stored digitally in the hospital’s data center. With the number of patients increasing every year, but limited space to expand, ABB's MNS®-Up’s modular and scalable design allows the data center to increase in power but not in size.
