Emerson Network Power Introduces Liebert GXT3 On-Line UPS 5-10kVA
February 2011 by Marc Jacob
The increasing demand for rack-backed computing capacity, and the IT systems and equipment necessary to deliver that capacity, is stretching the limits of existing data center spaces. With that in mind, Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson (NYSE: EMR) and the global leader in enabling Business-Critical Continuity™, introduced in EMEA the Liebert GXT3 uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system in 5-10kVA models. The true on-line double conversion Liebert UPS system, which is an extension of the existing Liebert GXT3 product line, enables IT managers to pack higher power capacities into smaller spaces while maintaining best-inclass availability.
The Liebert GXT3 can be installed in a rack or tower configuration, with a rotating LED
display panel that adjusts accordingly. The Liebert UPS features replaceable, hotswappable
internal batteries that provide three or more minutes of runtime at full load,
with higher backup time available at typical loading conditions. The 5kVA and 6kVA
models require only 5U of space, while the 10kVA model require only 6U of space.
Optional battery cabinets, adding just 3U to 4U of rack space, provide additional runtime
via the plug-and-play connections on the rear panel of the UPS.
Using the Liebert IntelliSlot® Web Card, the Liebert GXT3 provides simple network
management protocol (SNMP) for ongoing Web-based monitoring and control of the
system. A Windows-based configuration program allows operating parameters to be
adjusted and tests to be scheduled, and built-in USB communications for use with
Liebert MultiLink® enable the customer to monitor UPS and server communications and
ensure proper, unattended shutdown. Built-in closure signals provide automatic
notification of operating systems such as low battery or battery mode shutdown.
Liebert GXT3 is backed by the industry’s best warranty. A two-year, no-hassle
replacement warranty pays for shipping for both the original and replacement unit in the
event of UPS problems.
