TAIPEI, TAIWAN -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 10/16/07 -- Intel Developer Forum Booth A36 -- ColdWatt
Inc. has expanded its digital power conversion portfolio to include
platforms aimed at blade and high end server architectures, as well as
rack-optimized servers. ColdWatt's second generation products, the 1625W
power supply and 750W power sub-system, pack high efficiency and
industry-leading density in a compact form factor that surpasses industry
efficiency-level targets. With ColdWatt's energy efficient solutions, IT
equipment vendors can decrease their operational expenditures and help
their server customers achieve their green IT goals.
ColdWatt is introducing its latest digital power supplies at the Intel
Developer Forum in Taiwan this week (booth # A36). Digital power conversion
platforms are fundamental to achieving high overall system efficiency and
higher system reliability. The dense form factor of ColdWatt's 1625W power
supply is ideal for blade applications that strive for high performance
density. ColdWatt's 1U 750W AC-DC power subsystem is designed with a narrow
form factor and superior power density, allowing customers in the sub-$25K
server market to achieve better thermal performance and improved data
center efficiency compared to commodity power solutions.
"At ColdWatt, we are manically focused on delivering products that enable
cost-conscious OEMs to leapfrog their competition with cutting edge
performance density and lower overall power consumption," said Joe
Lamoreux, ColdWatt's CEO. "Our 1625W and 750W solutions have been designed
with customer applications in mind to maximize efficiency across a wide
load range and deliver the most useable power, resulting in lower total
cost of ownership for IT equipment manufacturers."
1U 1625W power module
ColdWatt's 1625W power module delivers 90 percent efficiency with a power
density of >18 watts per cubic inch, simplifying thermal management and
delivering more useable power than competing solutions. The 1625W power
supply includes ColdWatt's "Black Box" feature, which enables system
designers to deliver increased reliability and traceability for end users.
Critical power parameters such as Vin, Vout and temperature are
continuously monitored and stored at the time of a fault for retrieval and
post processing.
1U 750W AC-DC power subsystem
ColdWatt's 1U 750W AC-DC power subsystem is designed with a narrow form
factor to deliver superior power density and > 90 percent efficiency at >
20 percent load. It is form-factor compatible with the 650W AC-DC power
subsystem, allowing existing customers to scale up their designs with new
features and leverage their existing power sub-system design. Using
ColdWatt's redundant power subsystem, designers are able to increase the
reliability of their systems and provide dense server configurations, while
addressing the demanding space, heat and cost factors of today's rapidly
evolving server environments. Thermal management is simplified and data
center efficiency is significantly improved compared to commodity power
solutions.
"Green" product development
As an inaugural member of both The Green Grid and Climate Savers Computing
Initiative, ColdWatt is committed to green IT product development. From
inception, ColdWatt has been shipping products that exceed existing
industry standards. In fact, ColdWatt has already surpassed the 88-percent
light load energy-efficiency target set for 2009 by Climate Savers with the
750W power sub-system sampling today.
