Press Release - DirectNET Partners with Powerware to
Provide Complete Power Solutions
Broomfield, CO – August 28, 2007.
DirectNET Inc., the nation’s largest provider of
server management and data center infrastructure
solutions, today announced that it has entered into
a value added reseller agreement with Eaton
Powerware (www.powerware.com) to provide
comprehensive power quality and backup power
management solutions.
“With the current estimates that 10 to 30 percent of
IT budgets go toward paying for power, we recognize
the need to provide innovative, efficient power
solutions,” comments Alan Mamane, CEO of DirectNET.
“Based on our vendor agnostic approach of assessing,
recommending, and offering the solutions that best
fit our customer’s needs, Eaton’s market-leading
power technologies were a critical addition to our
portfolio.”
Along with
Powerware’s
broad range of rack-based uninterruptible power
system (UPS) systems, DirectNET will also offer
Powerware’s pivotal technologies that provide
much-needed relief for high-density computing
environments including the innovative
Powerware BladeUPS™ and the
Power Xpert Architecture™.
“Our ability to offer these niche products, in
conjunction with broader-reaching power solutions,
is an important market advantage for DirectNET,”
commented Patrick Cameron, Director of Business
Development for DirectNET, Inc. “In the coming
quarters we expect to continue adding products that
meet the unique needs of our customers.”
The Powerware BladeUPS is a revolutionary power
quality solution, scalable power protection from 12
kW to 60 kW in a single industry standard 19-inch
rack, and most significantly, providing this robust,
compact solution without generating the additional
heat associated with legacy end-of-row, modular UPS
products.
The Power Xpert Architecture integrates power
quality meters, gateways, time servers and software
to unify the management of the multi-vendor power
infrastructure. IT and facility managers have
complete visibility of and access to real-time,
accurately synchronized information related to power
quality at both the system and equipment levels.
“The addition of these UPS system product lines
means you can count on the same high level of
service that you have come to expect from DirectNET
Inc. as you look for options to meet the changing
power requirements within your data center,” adds
Mr. Mamane.
