American Power Conversion Helps Deliver Maximum Up-Time With the ECOstructure Blueprints biz.yahoo.com WEST KINGSTON, R.I., June 11 /PRNewswire/ -- American Power Conversion (Nasdaq: APCC ) today announced that it will utilize the ECOstructure (EMC/Cisco/Oracle Infrastructure) initiative blueprints to help deliver maximum up time to customers. As an ECOstructure solutions provider, APC will use the expertise it has developed as a provider of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and power availability products to develop new approaches and methodologies, in an effort to eliminate downtime caused by power disturbances and outages for e- business customers. The ECOstructure initiative, from EMC, Cisco Systems, and Oracle, empowers e-businesses by helping improve and simplify the joint implementation of EMC, Cisco Systems and Oracle's high-availability e-business infrastructures and providing open access to verified e-business infrastructure blueprints. ``APC's experience in providing solutions to address significant issues impacting systems availability, coupled with EMC, Cisco Systems and Oracle infrastructure expertise will help to improve the ability to rapidly and reliably satisfy end-customers' e-business demands,'' said Peter Rumsey, vice president of APC's Enterprise Solutions Group. ``APC will use the ECOstructure blueprints as a tool to help instill trust and reliability in the IT solutions of firms entering the e-business arena.'' The physical environment of an installation, consisting of power, environmental and security layers, is the foundation upon which high- availability applications are built. APC's power availability products and services are complemented by precision cooling and management devices designed to bulletproof this foundation, helping e-business clients reach their business process availability goals. ``As an ECOstructure solution provider, APC will provide the framework for the essential power and environmental infrastructure upon which high- availability applications can be built,'' explained Dan Warnshuis, program manager at Cisco Systems. ``Through the involvement of solution providers that utilize ECOstructure, e-businesses can implement solutions that maximize availability with a low total cost of ownership.'' APC's comprehensive power availability solutions are designed to meet the power requirements of IT and communications applications worldwide. APC solutions range from surge suppressors protecting against damaging power surges, to UPSs providing continuous power to all critical IT equipment, to DC-power systems supplying primary and back-up power for communications gear. Power management tools and power availability consulting services complement these offerings with diagnostic, management and monitoring capabilities. This offering is highlighted by its Silcon® UPSs, which are ideal for large IT applications. These UPSs offer industry-leading technology and benefits including the patented Delta Conversion On-Line technology that minimizes costs associated with electrical infrastructure equipment, installation and day-to-day operation; system redundancy for N+X configurations; scalability to grow as customer configurations grow; and comprehensive global services and management integration to increase ease-of-use and systems management.
