Facilities and Data Center managers are continually tasked with reducing energy usage and providing measurable ways to improve efficiency. One way we’re making a difference is with a UPS ROI calculator designed to help better understand the cost of a lithium-ion-based solution versus lead-acid. Not only does lithium-ion offer a smaller footprint and longer battery life for mission critical power protection, the AC6000 includes remote battery monitoring and the capability to supplement the rack power during peak power consumption.
The Data Center ROI Calculator takes into consideration testing frequency, weekly usage and average length of outage to provide the calculated expense for a unit’s:
• Height, weight and usable power
• Battery capacity, output voltage and replacement cost
• Number of units, run-time at customer power level and estimated cycle life
In addition, the Calculator delivers assessments on cost and size of rack, including breakdown at the RU level and is best suited for users needing supporting documentation for optimizing TCO, specific to battery replacement, initial installation and maintenance costs.
