data centres were on display at the world’s leading digital innovation tradeshow, CEBIT 2018, to serve as the very foundation of the digital economy — the focus of CEBIT 2018. The modular DPH series and the monoblock DPS series UPSs, respectively with 500kVA and 600kVA capacity each, satisfy the high power needs of cloud data centres while the brand-new RT series UPSs offer flexible configurations of 10-20 kVA for edge data centres. The new Li-ion Battery Solution for UPS systems, which boasts leading energy storage footprint with up 51.8kWh in a 19” cabinet, is an ideal solution to substantially reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) in data centres.

“As the IoT megatrend continues to expand rapidly, we’re seeing a lot of data centre resources moving to the edge. With billions of devices generating vast amounts of data that has to be stored and processed, it is impossible for centralized data centres to accommodate all the traffic. A global leader in colocation services in the Asia Pacific region, for instance, recently selected our power container solutions for their edge network,” said Jackie Chang, Delta’s President & General Manager for Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA).

Delta’s total data centre infrastructure design concept provides an efficient and reliable backbone for digitization as the overall market shifted to fewer but larger data centres. However, as IoT drives data centres to the edge, they need to become more adaptable, scalable and flexible. The two trends that are defining the data centre infrastructure market right now — small, decentralized edge computing data centres and the increasing size of large centralized data centres — are both reflected in Delta’s product portfolio on display at this year’s CEBIT. 

Charles Tsai, head of the Mission Critical Infrastructure Solutions (MCIS) Business Unit (BU) at Delta, said, “Unsurprisingly, these two trends — Cloud and Edge — are also evident in what our customers are doing with our solutions here in Europe. Last year, for instance, Atos, a Spain-based global leader in digital transformation, implemented our modular UPS solutions to protect their MW data centre”.
