Schneider Electric Unveils New Research and IT Innovation to Meet the Demands of a Digital-First Future

Schneider Electric, the leader in digital transformation of energy management and automation, unveils new innovations for the next wave of sustainability and resiliency in data centers and edge IT including updates to EcoStruxure IT, Galaxy VL 3-phase UPS and never-before-seen APC Smart-UPS Ultra – the most compact 3kW UPS on the market.

Redesigned Galaxy Lithium-ion battery solution enables greater space savings, faster recharge and installation and enhanced safety

The newly released Galaxy VL, the most compact of its class, modular and scalable 3-phase UPS in the 200 – 500 kW range with efficiency levels up to 99 per cent, now features redesigned Galaxy Lithium-ion battery cabinets, providing a sustainable, high-density and innovative energy storage solution for data centers, industrial processes, and critical infrastructure. The exclusive cabinets are compatible across the full Galaxy V Series.

This UL9540A-compliant battery solution reduces battery footprint and weight by up to 70 per cent, allowing more effective use of space. The new cabinets enable two to three times faster recharge than VRLA solutions as well as faster installation and enhanced system availability with patented redundant self-powered internal power supplies.

Lithium-ion batteries reduce total cost of ownership by doubling battery life, lowering installation and maintenance costs, plus reducing cooling needs, as they operate at higher temperatures than VRLA. The included real-time battery management system improves battery system visibility, predictability, and manageability. The modular, touch-safe design simplifies maintenance and increases operator safety.

APC Smart-UPS Ultra is the Smallest, Lightest, Single-phase 3kW UPS on the Market

Designed to deliver more power, flexibility, and intelligent monitoring in a smaller footprint, the APC Smart-UPS Ultra enables IT professionals and solution providers to address many of the challenges with deploying IT infrastructure in distributed environments and at the edge. With flexible mounting options including rack, tower or wall/ceiling mounts, the Smart-UPS Ultra can be placed out of the way to allow for more space for IT in the rack. It features long-lasting Lithium-ion batteries to save time and money on maintenance and it’s EcoStruxure™ Ready, providing cloud-based monitoring to optimize performance, deliver data-driven recommendations, and enable visibility anywhere, anytime.
