AUSTIN, Texas-( Business Wire )-

Active Power, Inc., manufacturer of continuous power and infrastructure solutions has received a multimillion dollar order for two PowerHouse systems from one of its strategic IT partners. The deployment will support the IT partner’s containerized datacenters, enabling the end user, a global manufacturer of oil and gas drilling products to quickly add additional capacity. All systems and related equipment will ship in the third quarter of 2011 to the end user’s facility located in the southwestern U.S.

Each PowerHouse system is rated at 720 kW and will provide all critical power infrastructure support to the IT containers onsite. This fully turnkey datacenter solution represents the first phase of the project as the site is designed for expansion phases of similar sizes in the future as IT demands increase.

The power infrastructure systems will each contain a diesel generator; Active Power’s high efficiency CleanSource UPS (uninterruptible power supply) systems; switchgear; base fuel tank; and monitoring and controls software.

“Today’s datacenter operators are having to address requirements for more energy and space efficient solutions while at the same time manage increased demand for power to support high density IT environments,” said Martin Olsen, vice president and general manager, Global Sales and Business Development, Active Power. “Our modular power infrastructure solutions enable organizations to more effectively manage those things working against them in their computing environment, even as business and IT demands evolve.”
