Eaton Corporation to Present at the Uptime Institute Symposium 2007

PITTSBURGH … Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation today announced that Sriram Ramakrishnan, business unit manager for Eaton’s Power Quality Protection Division, will deliver a presentation highlighting power distribution strategies for high-density computing environments at the Uptime Institute Symposium in Orlando, Florida.

In a presentation titled, “Flexible Power Architecture for Your Dynamic Data Center,” Ramakrishnan will address more than 400 facility and IT managers to discuss the need for flexible, backup power architecture to support data center growth and new technology deployments. In addition, the presentation will feature new power protection architecture from Eaton’s Data Center Solutions Group that is benchmarked against solutions used in the marketplace today in terms of energy efficiency, availability and flexibility.

“The Uptime Institute Symposium presents a wonderful stage to discuss growth strategies and critical requirements related to high-density computing environments,” said Ramakrishnan. “Today’s power protection solutions must have the inherent flexibility to address the evolving requirements within the data center. In this presentation, we discuss macro power distribution strategies and introduce a business case for a high-density, modular and scalable backup power protection architecture.”

The 2007 Symposium addresses how business demands for higher IT performance are changing the underlying economics and engineering of large-scale, high-performance computing. With approximately 400 attendees expected, the Symposium is structured to provide attendees with the critical information needed to help them manage the business issues and challenges of high-density computing and increase overall site uptime.

In addition to the feature presentation, Eaton will also be participating in the panel discussion, “Five Practical Strategies You Can Use to Begin to Cut Energy Consumption up to 50 Percent.” Delegates will learn about self-funding management and operating processes, five principles for reducing energy consumption and options for increasing IT performance without costly facility upgrades.
