Solution	DataXion turned to EcoStruxure for a solution. EcoStruxure IT Advisor, EcoStruxure IT Expert, and connected products like Galaxy™ 7000 UPS, In Row Cooling, LV Switchgear, Uniflair™, and EcoAisle™ were implemented. The UPS provided a safe and consistent power supply solution. The inverters were used to maximize system efficiency by up to 99%, keeping valuable operating costs low (energy savings), but also ensuring optimal power quality. EcoAisle, a containment solution, was used to improve energy efficiency within the data center. The cooling Uniflair solutions were implemented to provide precise air handling for the proper operation of IT equipment. Read More Log in to view content
