In today’s evolving operating environment, the significance of equipment longevity – combined with the opportunity for customisation and the need for steadfast reliability – cannot be overstated.
Continuous uptime and optimised efficiency are paramount; infrastructure needs to be designed to meet immediate demands as well as to endure the inevitable changes that lie ahead.
Lifetime is of increasing importance in the context of a circular economy and the need to preserve precious resources – as well as the desire to minimise costly and disruptive replacements.
Underpinning all of these complex demands is the need to simplify operations and look beyond traditional equipment lifespans to deliver something more sustainable.
What’s clear is that change is coming – and it’s not stopping. Infrastructure providers need to be agile and adaptable, without fail. And the latest tailored solutions are allowing Data Centres to address specific operational challenges, enhancing performance more effectively than ever before – with ultra-reliability forming the foundation of resilient and future-proof services.
With a proven track record in modular technology, integrated power manufacturer, Socomec, is a recognised leader in modular UPS solutions and is reinforcing that position in the face of these evolving challenges with the introduction of a novel medium power model – the MODULYS XM.
The UPS That’s as Unique as Your Needs
The new Socomec MODULYS XM is a medium power modular UPS based on 50 kW power modules; the installed power can be increased up to 600 kW, plus an extra 50 kW redundancy, all within the same footprint. As flexible as it is reliable, the MODULYS XM can be configured to order – and adapted to the unique demands of its operating environment, with flexible personalisation options available on-site, even after installation.
Whether being implemented within an existing setup or a brand-new installation, the XM’s exceptional configurability means that it can be tailored precisely to specific needs – making it ideal for a wide range of applications. While some options may need to be chosen during the initial configuration, genuine flexibility remains throughout – and most options can be added at the installation site effortlessly, without the need for any further adjustments.
“You can’t imagine how many times I have heard customers tell me that they have very specific needs and that the UPS will need to be adapted. That’s why we’ve developed a set of more than 25 standardised, pre-engineered and pre-tested parts in order to personalise the UPS architecture. We can connect the UPS and provide access to digital services, ensuring that it’s fully adapted to its operating environment.”
“What’s more, we know that it’s so often the case that particular needs are discovered only after the UPS has been installed within the real working environment, which is why almost all of these options have been designed to be integrated on site – even at the very last minute. It’s no longer necessary to commit to rigid personalisation in advance, in the factory, and it eliminates tricky decision making before being armed with the reality of the installation, because the MODULYS XM allows for flexible personalisation, on site, according to real needs.”
Engineered for Endurance
This smart and modular system has been designed with longevity in mind. With a proven design life of more than 20 years, it’s built to last – able to outlive the facilities that it powers.
“Speaking with the Data Centre Facilities Managers, some of the most common feedback is that they always dread the moment when a UPS is at the end of its life and needs replacing. It’s not only the financial impact of a new UPS but also the potential risks associated with a replacement. Another point is that Data Centre infrastructure circularity must be considered at the early stages of design. One of the keys to success is the ability to keep products in circulation for a much longer period of time, which is why we have increased the lifetime of the MODULYS XM by 50% compared to market standards.”
Passing demanding stress tests and accelerated lifetime tests under the supervision of qualified third parties, the design lifetime of MODULYS XM is in excess of 25 years in a Data Centre environment – and in excess of 20 years in worst case conditions.
“Designed for durability, the lifetime of the MODULYS XM is comparable with – and compatible with - the lifetime of the application. What this means is that you can say goodbye to costly and stressful replacements, because there’s no need to replace your UPS anymore.”
