Fuel-cell power system gets real-world test eetimes.com OMAHA, Neb. — First National Bank of Omaha, one of the nation's primary Visa and MasterCard processing centers, fired up a new alternative in uninterruptible power last month when it switched on the first commercial installation of a power system from Sure Power Corp. (Danbury, Conn.). The system, based on a novel use of fuel cells, is calculated to give 99.9999 percent availability — "six nines," in industry jargon — of usable power to the bank's massive, disaster-hardened computer center. It's an approach that may spur a major rethinking of power-systems design for mainframes and server clusters.
