Delta UPS solution powers major telecommunications operator in Morocco

Vertical: Infrastructure



The power costs in a data centre make up the largest component of the total cost of ownership (TCO). The power usage effectiveness (PUE), or the total power consumption of a data centre divided by the IT power consumption, is usually high in conventional data centres. It is often at around 2.0 or higher. This means: only half of the energy is spent on the IT workload. The other half is consumed by the physical and critical infrastructure such as power supply, cooling, and lighting. High-quality UPSs function as an essential safeguard against many potential energy issues, including voltage surges and spikes, voltage sags, total power failure, and frequency differences.

Faced with power supply challenges at its data centre, a leading telecommunications operator in Morocco was at a crossroads. The operator needed to update its data centre with new UPSs without risking downtime. The cost of downtime due to critical load failure is expensive and could cost anywhere between $4,000 and $6,000 per minute or even more. To achieve the highest availability possible for its data centre, the operator knew how vital it was that the new UPSs come equipped with fault-tolerant capability and fail-safe design for assured system reliability. The operator also knew that the new UPSs had to offer the flexibility of different configurations for the sake of redundancy and to further enhance overall power availability.

Delta worked with the Moroccan telecom operator to install an integrated UPS solution that not only ensures uninterrupted power throughout the UPS replacement process, but also provides stable and clean power under normal conditions. The modular UPS solution installed by Delta was able to maintain the incoming power without causing any disruption in operations. Using the Delta modular DPH Series UPS did not only allow for a quick replacement and uninterruptible power supply, but also translated into significant reduction of operational costs by 30% compared to traditional data centres, allowing the Moroccan operator to extend the entire life cycle of its data centre.

Motaz Al Maani, Senior Director and General Manager of Delta EMEA, said: “In addition to providing extended power for long stretches, Delta’s modular UPS solutions are designed to provide customers with critical total power protection against voltage drift, surges, high frequency interference, and any other kind of power failure and drift, protecting vital computer components from data loss and damage. Delta’s modular UPSs are designed to ensure that companies can protect their mission-critical applications by maintaining a steady flow of energy even under adverse circumstances, resulting in significant cost reduction and maximum operating efficiency.”
