Terremark Selects Active Power to Protect Mission Critical Facility
AUSTIN, Texas (Dec. 7, 2009) – Active Power, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACPW), inventor and manufacturer of the most space and energy-efficient uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems in the world[1], received a multi-megawatt order from Terremark Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ: TMRK) for its flywheel based UPS systems. A leading global provider of managed IT infrastructure services, Terremark will deploy the backup power equipment at their NAP (network access point) West facility located in Santa Clara, Calif.
“The battery free UPS technology aligns well with what we’re trying to accomplish with our power architecture strategy,” said Hector Hernandez, Terremark’s general manager for Collocation Services. “The system is extremely energy efficient so we’re able to dedicate more power to our critical IT loads with minimal energy losses, all of this accomplished in a much smaller footprint. The low maintenance requirements of the system and the inherent reliability of the electromechanical power source were also attractive to us.”
The demand for more datacenter floor space to dedicate to revenue generating IT equipment continues to be a major concern for the datacenter industry. This is particularly true for large enterprise and collocation facilities that constantly have to install additional server equipment to meet increasing IT and business demands.
In the latest survey results from AFCOM, one of the largest associations for datacenter professionals, more than half of the survey’s 436 respondents stated they anticipate requiring additional datacenter space within the next five years. Approximately 32 percent of respondents claimed they will need additional space by physically adding to and/or upgrading existing facilities.

One of the ways to address this common pain point is to deploy highly energy and space efficient power infrastructure equipment. These UPS systems can significantly lower utility bills by reducing energy losses, but also protect more power in less space, freeing up revenue generating floor space.
