3. Case: Academica Data Center in Finland Energy management of servers and cooling
ABB solution: ABB Power Distribution Unit
ABB MNS, low voltage, Power Distribution Unit has been designed for mission critical industries such as data centers, in which reliable electricity distribution is a must
More effectively manage the data centers capacity and the energy consumption of the servers and the cooling system
Enables real time energy consumption measurement per each single server
A routine maintenance can be undertaken when the PDU is live
Execute extensions and modifications without the necessity of shutting down the complete PDU
Have a safe personnel movement in the server room
Customer value:
