(Foundation MCR – Mini Computer Room by Emerson Network Power) www.liebert.com #13 E Power protection system is scalable, redundant and designed specifically for small- to medium-sized data centers. Made up of dedicated and redundant modules containing power, intelligence, battery and bypass, the components are engineered into a design that is easily and efficiently serviceable. Its architecture can scale power and runtime as demand grows or as higher levels of availability are required. The system also features self-diagnostic capabilities and standardized modules that decrease the risk of human error, resulting in increased overall data-center reliability. (Symmetrex by American Power Conversion) www.apcc.com #14 L utilizes advanced fluorescent dimming technology to integrate daylight harvesting and occupancy sensors into a network of digitally addressable dimming ballasts, infrared receivers and manual lighting controls. Based on a simple and flexible building-block architecture that does not require interfaces or power packs, the intelligence is built right into the ballasts, which communicate with each other and with other controllers in the network, so reconfiguration and reprogramming is relatively easy. Wall-mounted controls can also be preset to provide optimal lighting for various educational activities such as watching videos, working on computers or traditional blackboard instruction.
