About Our Logo

What is it?

The international electrical symbol for a battery.

What does it mean?

As you look at the logo, you will see four lines, which represent all the plates within a battery. A battery stores energy using these plates in a way that will generate power (voltage and current – or watts) when called upon to perform. This will keep mission critical equipment running for a period of time when the power goes down.

Why is a battery system important in a data center?

Battery power is used by Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPS) systems and other related equipment in order to keep things running in a data center until the power comes back, or generators take over that critical task. Our world is increasingly reliant on IT systems that depend on continuous backup power or stored energy to deliver financial transactions, reliable cell phone service, email systems, security systems and more.

When the batteries are not supplying this emergency power, they are constantly being held charged (floated) by the UPS. We regularly look at their electrical characteristics while they are "on float" to ensure they will do their job safely in the unfortunate event of power failure. We also look at data measured during discharges themselves to determine each battery's performance and health.
