MGE UPS Systems Introduces New Pulsar Esprit Power Cluster
MGE UPS Systems (Costa Mesa, CA) is introducing its Pulsar Esprit Power Cluster, the newest development in high-availability power protection.
According to MGE, the Pulsar Esprit Series models are the world's first UPSs to offer an optimized combination of availability and reliability required by the most demanding users such as Internet and application service providers. These new systems are designed to further enhance total power availability with expandable battery options and a suite of Internet-grade monitoring and communications features, including Windows 2000 integration and XML web-based management. With a selection of power ratings from 3kVA to 13.5kVA, the units are designed to protect clusters of three to 15 critical servers with associated key peripherals, such as storage and backup devices.
Based on modular, scalable building blocks, users can easily configure the system to provide virtually unlimited backup time with options for redundant batteries and chargers to ensure maximum reliability as well as rapid recharging of even the largest battery bank. The modular design enables users to add modules that increase power ratings or levels of redundancy as well as battery backup times as requirements grow. The modular is designed for easy installation with simple interconnects, standard NEMA power outlets and plug-in convenience up to 9kVA. Users have a choice of 5U (8.75" high) rack-mount or flexible, low-profile freestanding configurations.
The Esprit models also offer the convenience of standard 120Vac output at all power levels, while accepting 120V input up to 4.5kVA, and 208V or 240V input at the 6kVA, 9kVA and 13.5kVA ratings. Prices start at $1,699 in a single UPS configuration, or $3,398 for a fully redundant power cluster.
