“We would never even consider a manufacturer unless they had a time-tested, stellar reputation and had demonstrated proven reliability.”
“Eaton fit all the criteria we were looking for. We wanted the same look and feel at all of our data centers. And with our charter to add more data halls and more footprint, we are happy to have achieved this standardization with Eaton.”
“The ability to deal directly with Eaton rather than a third-party service organization has been a high point for us. We really respect and appreciate how Eaton has responded to our preventive maintenance schedule.”
The capacity to standardize on a UPS solution was crucial for DC BLOX, as it affords advantages such as internal efficiency, cost savings, and simplified management and maintenance for the technicians responsible for overseeing all of the technology among DC BLOX’s multiple sites.
The goals behind UPS standardization were quickly realized by DC BLOX; less than a year after installing the initial units in Huntsville, the organization seamlessly rolled out an identical power protection solution within its fourth data center in Birmingham. Prior to opening the doors to the new facility, the organization turned to Eaton for help supplying additional data center products, including more than 100 Eaton RS Enclosures and numerous rack PDUs. Through its flexible design and customizable device mounting options, the RS Enclosure server rack streamlines installation time and reduces costs for DC BLOX.
“It was a combination of the technology, the service, the pricing, the footprint. We really get the whole package with Eaton.”
