Direct Power Technologies, Inc

Direct Power Technologies, Inc. is the first company to introduce an electrical system that can provide 380vDC directly to computers and servers. This is a voltage already utilized internally for all computer operations. In partnership with INTEL, SUN MICROSYSTEMS, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories, EPRI and ECOS Consulting, Direct Power Technologies, Inc. has demonstrated the operation and energy savings of a 400vDC power distribution system. High density computer environments, utilizing Alternating Current (AC) power supply blade server technology, are presenting major challenges to owners and operators. Typical facility infrastructures cannot accommodate the added heat loads and reliability requirements of such installations. Servers equipped with Direct Current (DC) power supplies, instead of AC power supplies: operate with 20-40% less heat reduce power consumption by up to 30% increase server reliability offer flexibility to installations decrease maintenance requirements What’s New? Extending the HP Common Slot Power Supply portfolio with a new 1200W 380VDC option that allows customers to integrate ProLiant servers into higher voltage DC data center infrastructures.
