Times Top UPS brings German Data Center Award nomination for global provider

Frankfurt based Telehouse, a global provider of data centers, managed services and cloud computing, with over 25 years of experience in the data center industry, has been nominated for the German Data Center Award in the category ‘Newly built energy- and resource-efficient data centers’ for its new data center equipped with the latest times Top electrically coupled diesel UPS Times Top technology.

Today Telehouse operates 12 suites in 4 data center buildings covering a combined area of 4,500m². The new data center has a power supply set by Times Top with IP-bus configuration – times Top is innovative alternative to conventional diesel UPS.

TT+ is a totally integrated system incorporating flywheel energy storage to guarantee seamless operation between generator and UPS unit. A standard diesel generator provides the TT+ either upstream or downstream, providing a powerful, flexible solution for long-term backup.

The IP-Bus control offers a high-availability, scalable power supply which can be adapted to the precise power consumption of the data center, with concomitant savings in capex and opex costs. The separation of UPS and diesel generator inherent in the new system allows for greater freedom of choice in terms of engine and manufacturers.
