TAS ENERGY
PARTNERING FOR INNOVATION
DID YOU KNOW ...
“ TAS Energy has developed a trusted partner ecosystem to support rack and IT integration , cooling solutions and fire protection and suppression ,” explains Engineering Vice President Ron Mann .
“ Total Site Solutions do a great job with rack and IT integration bringing a value add to the customer . A client may want to integrate all of their IT and fully test it with their in-house software before deploying it , so it ' s literally ‘ plug and play ’ when it hits the site . Fully deployable IT is an important endto-end skillset that helps us make a project as cost effective as possible .”
“ Stulz have a proven track record developing closely coupled cooling solutions for organisations like HP requiring energy efficient temperature and humidity management technology , specifically for mission critical applications . In many data centers you ’ ll find a three-foot cold aisle and a one or two-foot hot aisle . Reaction times are a lot quicker when something happens . The example I use is that if you ' re in Houston , Texas in July and there ' s five people in a conference room designed to
host 15 , and the cooling goes out , we may not even notice that for an hour because we have over capacity in the conference room and there ' s just five of us in there . Which is a lot like what happens in a data center . But when you ' re in a closely coupled environment it ' s different . If you lose a cooling system , your redundancy model ' s different . You might have minutes to react before your servers hit thermal overload . But we ’ ve learned that redundancy isn ’ t always important to customers if they have a failover strategy , so we aim to do the modularity on the different components : the power , the cooling and the IT .”
“ Viking helps us with fire protection and suppression . They have a neat rack modular solution for indoor cooling . Together , we ’ re adapting this contained solution to be able to scale it to the different sizes of modules requested without having to overprovision it . We ’ re rack and IT agnostic , so this partnership helps us meet the different requirements of our customers and allows us to ‘ plug and play ’ with different UPS technologies .”
