Hi Jon,
In traditional data centers, the battery system is an important fail-safe device. In the event of a power outage, strings of batteries provide power to the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) during the several minutes of ride-through time in which the data center switches over to an auxiliary power source, such as a second utility feed or generator.
But in edge data centers or remote IT deployments, the function of the battery may be slightly different. In many cases, the battery system IS the auxiliary power source for that facility.
In any case, a traditional, remote, or edge facility must have a reliable battery system. Download this whitepaper to discover why lithium-ion batteries are now being adopted for use with UPS applications, as a means of ensuring uptime for mission-critical infrastructure in data centers.
