Delta’s UPS and DCIM systems
power new green data centre and
data lab
/////////////////////////////
D
elta, a global provider of power and
thermal management solutions,
has announced its DPH 500kVA
modular uninterruptible power supplies
(UPS) and InfraSuite Manager data centre
information management (DCIM) system
are now in operation at Bytesnet’s new
d’Root data centre at Zernike Campus
Groningen in the Netherlands.
The DPH 500kVA UPS delivers fully rated
power (kVA=kW) and it requires only 50%
of the space needed by similar systems
from competitors. With Delta’s DCIM,
Bytesnet can collect energy consumption
data from power meters and environmental
detectors in real time to monitor data centre
operations remotely.
Bytesnet is a regional colocation and
network services provider with two main
data centre locations in Rotterdam and
Groningen. In addition to a 2,500 m2 data
floor, the 6,500 m2 facility also houses a
data lab where research and education take
place. As a tier 3+ facility, reliability was an
extremely important factor in choosing the
power infrastructure.
Protecting the environment through
power efficiency
At the heart of the d’Root data centre is
a 5 mw power system. The three-phase
modular DPH 500kVA Delta UPS that
Bytesnet has chosen for its new data centre
was one of the keys to minimising the
facility’s environmental footprint. With its
exceptionally high power density, Delta’s
DPH 500kVA UPS requires only 50% of
the space needed by competing solutions.
This Delta UPS also offers industry-leading
AC – AC efficiency of 96.5%, resulting in
considerably lower energy consumption, CO2
emissions and costs for Bytesnet.
A unique combination of UPS and DCIM
Bytesnet selected Delta to supply not only
its exceptionally high-density and high-
efficiency DPH 500kVA UPS system, but also
its comprehensive InfraSuite Manager DCIM
system. The DCIM system gives Bytesnet full
control over all aspects of operating d’Root.
It also allows for additional optimisation and
efficiency gains. By combining the market-
leading power density and efficiency of the
DPH 500kVA with Delta’s comprehensive

infrastructure management suite, Bytesnet
has taken advantage of a unique offering in
the data centre power system space.
How InfraSuite Manager DCIM is
helping Bytesnet
The comprehensive InfraSuite Manager
DCIM system Delta supplied for the d’Root
data centre provides a number of significant
benefits. With the DCIM in place, Bytesnet
can collect energy consumption data from
power meters and environmental detectors
in real time to monitor data centre operation
remotely. The colocation provider can also
use the capacity module to analyse different
aspects of the data centre such as power,
load and rack capacity. This information
forms the basis for future decisions about
expanding data centre assets. The DCIM
can also visualise rack operating status in
2D or 3D views, which can help Bytesnet
present the benefits of the data centre’s
professional data centre management
system to customers.
Peter de Jong, CEO of Bytesnet, said: “Here,
we really are laying the foundation for the
21st century economy.” n
