Case Study: Texas A&M University achieves economical power management for West Campus Data Center expansion with Vertiv Powerbar iMPB

Texas A&M University Gains Economical Power Management Capabilities During WCDC Expansion

Texas A&M University, a large research-intensive institution handling more than 45 terabytes of data transfer per day, needed to expand its 50,000-square-foot West Campus Data Center (WCDC) to support growing compute and research demands. The university engaged E+I Engineering, a Vertiv company, to design an open track busway system—working with Vertiv to deliver an economical, scalable power distribution solution for the critical facility.

E+I Engineering (Vertiv) manufactured and installed 120 feet of Vertiv™ Powerbar iMPB with 400-amp capacity and 150% neutral, including branch circuit monitoring with live displays and individual IP addresses for each plug-in unit, and supplied load banks during commissioning. Vertiv’s solution was completed within an eight-week timeframe and delivered improved visibility for more economical power management, greater flexibility and reliability to meet current (and future) demand, and support for the facility’s LEED silver energy goals.
