ABB India’s electrification business has launched the MegaFlex DPA (Decentralized Parallel Architecture) UPS solution for the Indian market, aiming to address the critical need for data center continuity amidst increasing SaaS (Software as a Service) and IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) applications.

The product is part of ABB’s EcoSolutions portfolio and is in line with the company’s circularity framework.

The MegaFlex DPA UPS is designed for high-density computing environments, boasting the highest efficiency rating and smallest footprint. It is uniquely positioned to support the predicted growth of the Indian data center market, propelled by rising internet subscribers, an upswing in mobile device usage, digital payments, big data, cloud computing, IoT, and the impending data protection bill.

Designed to cater to the IEC and UL market, the MegaFlex UPS range offers power ranges of up to 1.5 and 1.6 MW respectively. Its compact size doesn’t compromise on sustainable power technology, delivering reduced energy losses due to high-efficiency converters that are adaptable to variable IT loads.

Key features include high-efficiency converters in VFI mode with up to 97.4 percent efficiency, portability with a server rack that can be moved easily, compatibility with lithium-ion or VRLA (valve-regulated lead-acid battery) for external storage, and optional redundant power capacity of 750KW N+1 and 2MW. This aligns with ABB Electrification’s Mission to Zero for smart cities, striving for a zero-emission reality for all.

The MegaFlex DPA works in harmony with ABB’s power infrastructure products, providing clean power to a data center, and meeting the resiliency needed for modern data storage solutions implementing distributed, cloud, or hybrid approaches. Its modular platform simplifies serviceability, while self-diagnostics reduce downtime and human error risk.

Overall, the MegaFlex DPA UPS represents ABB’s commitment to delivering top-tier power protection technology, providing customers with total peace of mind concerning their power supply.

Kiran Dutt — ABB India President Electrification said: “As the Indian data center market grows rapidly, demand for reliable, efficient, scalable and redundant power solutions will also continue to grow. With MegaFlex DPA, we introduce to Indian customers the latest in technology and innovation in the critical power field.

“With the vast amount of energy consumed by these data centers, every percentage point improvement in efficiency brings with it large cost savings. More importantly, being the first of its kind product in the Indian market with circularity compliance, it also supports our customer’s sustainability commitments.”
