GE Total Efficiency Datacenter Hardware, Software, Services and Financing to Address Power, Cooling, and Energy Management Challenges → Lower utility bills 10-20% → Reduce cooling requirements 50-70% → Achieve energy efficiency of 97-99%

Today’s IT infrastructure: It’s all about providing access to critical information and applications on any device from any location at any time. To accomplish this, you need to have a handle on the key IT fundamentals: the secure and reliable delivery of information. And all this must be done with minimal downtime. Considering the cost of IT disruptions is estimated as high as $2,000 per second, you need to make sure this infrastructure is always up and running. It’s key that business processes are optimized, while reducing the number of applications. Operations need to be streamlined to...

At GE, we ask, “Why predict the future when we can create it?” For over 130 years, we’ve used the tools of research (combined with a little inspiration) to create the world of tomorrow. Today, we continue to innovate what has yet to be imagined. Our founder, Thomas Edison, was not only a brilliant inventor, but also a business pioneer who aligned multiple businesses to bring innovation to the marketplace. We also remember that the light bulb did not happen through the continuous improvement of candles. Our new ways of addressing existing challenges can completely change everything. We’ve...

The Total Efficiency™ Datacenter Gartner estimates by 2016, 60% of new datacenters will be 40% smaller while supporting a 300% increased workload. Datacenters are estimated to consume 2% of the U.S. electrical grid capacity resulting in $2 billion per month in utility bills. More video has been uploaded to YouTube in the last 60 days than if ABC, CBS and NBC had been airing new content 24 hours a day continuously since 1948. For this reason, you need the most cost-effective datacenter facilities, without limiting the flexibility to enable virtualization, cloud computing, mobility, social...

Power Solutions While many providers can only help inside your datacenter, GE is in the unique position of leading the future of electrification with technologies to improve utility power generation, electrical grid distribution, and local energy efficiency. Smart Grid We’ve developed smart grid solutions to address the planet’s energy infrastructure needs and create an integrated, sustainable solution capable of handling power challenges for the 21st century. Smart grid solutions improve performance. Intelligence and control improvements result in better ways to manage energy usage and...

Incorporating the compartment concept with grounded metal barriers that segregate primary functions, no live parts are exposed. Safety interlocks are standard, as are closed door racking and storage, breaker position indicator and positively actuated safety shutters to meet a wide variety of protection and switching applications. All functional units (incoming line, radial feeders, feeder bypass, bus-tie, bus-entrance and auxiliary units) are available for flexible system planning. Utility Transformer Utility Transformer MV Main Switch Gear GE’s SEN Plus low voltage switchgear is tested for...

We’re at the forefront of parallel switchgear (PSG) control solutions with advanced technologies to deliver the highest level of system reliability and availability. We offer comprehensive redundancy solutions including the revolutionary QuadPAC redundancy, which leverages a patented algorithm to help maintain maximum system availability for “near-zero” downtime. Our high availability control solutions enable connectivity to various I/O to provide real-time communications, deterministic data transfers, and automatic switchover for continuous operations. GE’s Entellisys™ low-voltage...

GE gas engines, ranging from 0.25 MW to 9.5 MW, are known for their high efficiencies, low emissions, durability, and high reliability. These gas engines run on natural gas or a variety of other gases including biogas, landfill gas, coal seam gas, sewage gas, and combustible industrial waste gases. These gas engines can ramp up to full power (and back down) in under five minutes and are capable of up to 90 percent total efficiency. Whether you’re seeking full power at high efficiency levels or a unit capable of short start-up times, GE gas engines are an ideal, reliable solution for your...

DC datacenter environments are being built for cloud computing, mobile internet and super-computing research facilities. The simple fact is that a DC (direct current) datacenter cuts the number of power conversions in half between the utility grid and the CPU in your servers – enabling you to reduce power loss by 50%, lower associated cooling requirements by 70%, and achieve 10-20% utility bill savings. We’ve been powering communications for nearly 100 years with DC energy systems designed for decades of reliable service. Our Galaxy Power System™ (GPS) offers up to 20,000 amps of 48Vdc...

Cooling & Software Solutions Cooling Solutions Software Solutions The Department of Energy estimates that cooling and humidification control accounts for 40% to 60% of your datacenter’s physical operating costs. Data center cooling offers one of the greatest opportunities for energyefficiency improvements. GE, in partnership with Trane, offers scalable cooling systems - including chilled water, airside, controls, hybrid solutions, and evaporative cooling as a cost-effective solution to significantly extend economizer “free cooling” operating ranges. The telecom sector has used free air...
