Emerson Network Power Introduces Liebert® GXT4 UPS for Critical Powering of the Edge of IT Infrastructures

ENERGY STAR® qualified rackmount UPS enables maximum efficiency and improved PUE

Sydney, Australia [July 7, 2015] – Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson (NYSE: EMR) and a global leader in maximizing availability, capacity and efficiency of critical infrastructure, today introduced the Liebert® GXT4 UPS system for businesses that need critical power protection at the edge of IT infrastructures and remote locations. This true on-line, double conversion Liebert UPS is available for immediate shipment in 700VA to 10000VA models at 230V.  The Liebert GXT4 is now available in the Australia-New Zealand region.

The ENERGY STAR® qualified Liebert GXT4 UPS  provides maximum resiliency and efficient power protection that allows IT managers to respond quickly and easily to changing and growing demands of critical computing performed outside of the core data center. The flexible configurations and design of the Liebert UPS enable faster and easier installation and deployment. Additionally, a high power factor provides more usable capacity, and the selectable Active Eco-Mode operation helps to maximize efficiency and improve PUE.

“As more devices and system infrastructures connect to the Internet, the amount of big data that is generated, processed, and analyzed is increasing. This puts pressure on the network edge as more compute and storage are pushed outside the core network. This means that edge facilities – those located outside the main data center – should be designed for resiliency and availability as downtime can affect core network performance,” said Robert Linsdell, national sales director, Emerson Network Power in Australia and New Zealand. “The Liebert GXT4 UPS gives the highest level of protection to critical equipment ensuring maximum availability amid growing demands at the edge.”

Liebert GXT4 UPS is convertible for rackmount or tower configurations and includes multiple battery options. The new multi-color LCD display allows user to view detailed information and configure UPS settings with ease. Additionally, new software allows the predefined system configuration file to be quickly replicated across multiple models of the same size, making it easier to deploy more than one unit. The 700VA to 3kVA models of the Liebert UPS include two pairs of individually configurable power outlets that are controllable and programmable for various settings, such as load shedding or protecting against unauthorized use. Internal ambient temperature sensors also are now standard on all models of the Liebert UPS.

“The importance of the network edge is something we can no longer ignore. It is high time for organizations to invest in solutions that will help ensure maximum availability of the edge infrastructure and the Liebert GXT4 is the perfect solution for this. It is ideally suited for outside core network locations such as network workstations, network closets, servers, and large network peripherals,” said Carlo Quiriconi, AC power product manager, Emerson Network Power in Australia and New Zealand.

Remote management and monitoring capabilities are provided through out-of-the-box compatibility with the Emerson Network Power Trellis platform data center infrastructure management system, and with the Liebert Nform and Liebert SiteScan monitoring and reporting systems.
