Case Study: Hurricane Electric achieves 99% UPS efficiency and lower TCO with Eaton Power Xpert 9395 and ESS

ESS exceeds expectation for colocation provider

Hurricane Electric, a colocation and internet backbone provider, needed a highly reliable, efficient UPS solution with a low total cost of ownership as it expanded its multi-tenant data center in Fremont, Calif. The company required a power protection system that could support thousands of customer servers while maximizing uptime and minimizing footprint and operating costs. Eaton supplied the Power Xpert 9395 UPS with Energy Saver System (ESS) and service.

With Eaton’s Power Xpert 9395 and ESS, Hurricane Electric achieved 99 percent efficiency, reduced utility and cooling costs, improved reliability, and preserved valuable data center space thanks to the UPS’s compact footprint. The solution’s redundancy and serviceability helped deliver the uptime the business needed, and the success led Hurricane Electric to order 10 additional units. Eaton’s system gave the customer lower long-term costs, greater availability, and a greener power infrastructure.
