TUALATIN, Ore., Aug. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- CUI Global,
Inc. (NASDAQ:CUI) announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary,
CUI Inc, has launched production on its second solution for
unlocking power capacity in data center and networking
infrastructure. The ICE Switch, manufactured by CUI, is a power
monitoring and switching system that connects to Virtual Power
Systems' (VPS) ICE (Intelligent Control of Energy) Software to
provide dynamic redundancy inside a data center. Consisting of two
identical modules with up to 50 A of current per module, the ICE
Switch features hot-swap functionality and a configurable single
phase or three phase input. The system, housed in a standard 19" 1U
package, also carries UL/cUL and TUV 60950-1 safety
certifications.
In a traditional data center, power is typically provisioned to
be 2N redundant, meaning that 50% of the power infrastructure is
untapped to provide redundancy in the event of a failure. The ICE
Switch unlocks additional power by allowing data centers to utilize
that stranded power for 1N non-critical servers. Should a failure
event occur, the ICE Switch shifts critical 2N applications to the
redundant power, while provisioning any remaining power capacity to
non-critical 1N applications based on priority levels set in VPS'
ICE Software. The ICE Software uses a combination of fine-grained
telemetry and machine learning predictions to distribute redundant
power for optimal use and high availability. This functionality
will allow data center operators to safely and reliably add servers
without having to further invest in costly power infrastructure to
support those additional applications.
"The ICE Switch is the next step in unlocking underutilized
power capacity in data centers," stated Matt McKenzie, President of CUI. "In addition to
the peak shaving capabilities of the ICE Block hardware, the ICE
Switch is a continuation of our efforts with Virtual Power Systems
to set new standards for efficient power infrastructure."
Shankar Ramamurthy, CEO of Virtual Power Systems, added, "CUI
has been a tremendous partner for VPS in bringing the idea of
Software Defined Power to market. The successful pilot tests of the
ICE Block and now the release of the ICE Switch have proven them to
be the ideal hardware partner for our innovative ICE Software
solution."
The ICE Switch units are available immediately for purchase
through CUI. Please contact CUI for pricing and details.
