Huntsville,
Alabama [October 25, 2011] –
Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson (NYSE:EMR) and a global leader in
maximizing availability, capacity and efficiency of critical infrastructure, today
announced its market-leading Avocent infrastructure management technologies have
delivered 20 percent greater system availability to the National Bank of Abu
Dhabi’s (NBAD) data centers. NBAD is the number one bank in the United Arab
Emirates (UAE).
With more than
110 branches and 450 ATMs in the UAE and an overseas network of branches and
ATMs, NBAD requires high levels of availability, efficiency and performance
from its data centers. In order to meet these needs, NBAD deployed a full range
of Avocent technologies for its data centers, including power management and
planning software to power distribution units (PDUs) and service processor
managers for proactive monitoring and maintenance of server health.
Outlined in a
recent case study, NBAD is already seeing a number
of benefits from the deployment of Emerson Network Power’s Avocent infrastructure
management technologies, including:
- 20 percent increased system availability
- Centralized and remote management of all data
center systems
- Improved cooling by two degrees during extreme
conditions
- Reduced power consumption
- Increased lifespan of data center systems
- Faster and more effective response on strategic
projects
- Elimination of accommodation and employment cost
for four engineers for two to three months of design and planning due to the
ability to access the data center from a remote location
“Emerson Network
Power delivers all the data center management tools and features we need in a
unified solution,” said Ayman Al-Qudsi, data center group leader for the NBAD.
“The products provide a centralized vision of data center management, including
power management, remote access, security, data center design and planning.
This all-in-one solution enables us to be more efficient and effective, while
eliminating the headaches associated with having to manage, maintain and learn
multiple products.”
Werner Kuehn, vice
president of EMEA for Avocent products and services, Emerson Network Power
added “Our Avocent technologies have brought an array of benefits to NBAD,
including the elimination of the need for the team to have physical access to
the data center. The solutions have provided the data center team with greater manageability,
control and visibility into the data center and processes, enabling a quick
turn on strategic projects.”
