Rittal power management:
Availability up, costs down.

Interruptions to critical business processes, whether due to hardware faults, production breakdowns, communications failures or insufficient – or even non-existent – protection against voltage fluctuations, can have far reaching consequences. After all, system availability and the reliability of IT infrastructure platforms are decisive factors for the efficiency and productivity of company processes – and thus equally for business success.

Miniaturisation and the ever greater performance of the hardware components place new demands on modern power management concepts. The answer to this dilemma: Power management with RimatriX5. The demands with regard to redundancy, scalability and maximum availability are bundled into a single system. Together, the solutions help to reduce operating costs and boost the availability of the overall system. It is even possible to retrofit new modules without interrupting operation.

Power Modular Concept (PMC)

PMC provides innovative protection against power supply problems. Through the combination of modularity (scalability and redundancy) and distributed parallel architecture (DPA), it guarantees maximum availability for critical applications. Thanks to the modular DPA system architecture, it is possible to expand capacities and stored energy times without interrupting operation.
Maximum availability
The "n+1" system architecture means that there are always at least two modules able to share the critical load. If any module should fail, the other modules automatically take over the whole connected load without interruption.
Integration of up to 3 modules in the IT rack or separate battery enclosure
Modules can be retrofitted on a hot-swapping basis, without needing to switch the system to a bypass. Stored energy times can be tailored to the individual application.
   

Single-phase UPS, power range 1 – 6 kVA
. High-quality double-conversion technology with optimum sine-wave output
  voltage
. Battery expansion for extended stored energy time
. Intelligent battery management monitors battery readiness and guarantees
  system availability; furthermore protection against overcharging and exhaustive
  discharge.
. Scope of delivery offers software compatibility for all standard operating
  systems

Three-phase UPS, power range 10 – 120 kVA per rack
PMC is a new three-phase UPS concept offering modular "n+1" redundancy on the basis of double-conversion technology. The modular configuration permits capacity expansion through the integration of additional hot-swappable UPS modules.
