Huawei announced its partnership with Power Control (PCL) at this year’s Huawei Enterprise CeBIT 2016 in Hannover on March 17th 2016
The partnership was officially confirmed at a signing ceremony in the presence of executives from both companies.
In order to realise its vision of “enriching life and improving efficiency through a better connected world”, Huawei integrates carbon reduction and environment protection ideas into its product lifecycle and continuously develops innovative technologies to boost the energy efficiency of its products and solutions.
The rapid development of cloud computing has increased the demands on power supply for critical ICT infrastructures, such as servers and switches. To address these requirements, Huawei has developed modular UPS systems (UPS5000-S series) with high efficiency (up to 97.5%), high density, and high availability to reduce the reliance on power grids and avoid loss of customers’ core business data.
UK based PCL is Huawei’s appointed Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and modular data centre channel partner in the UK. PCL’s extensive product and service experience within the power protection industry complements Huawei’s commitment to becoming a global ICT energy efficiency expert. This great synergy between the two companies will bring invaluable benefits to customers from various industries, including data centres, government, and healthcare sectors.
PCL’s managing director, Mark Trolley said: “PCL has dedicated over two decades to continuous research and development towards technological advances within the power protection industry. The company not only provides the most suitable and resilient systems but also delivers all-encompassing maintenance and complete project solutions. Our expertise combined with the superior quality of Huawei’s high efficiency modular UPS solutions will allow us to diversify into new market areas and ensure the continued growth of the company.”
Vice President of Huawei Western Europe Enterprise Business, Mr Li Jun said: “Localisation is a key strategy to sustaining Huawei’s development. Huawei has established extensive operations across Europe to meet its customers’ needs, including R&D, marketing, sales, distribution and service networks. Huawei UPS systems are designed at Nuremburg’s energy R&D centre to meet the high quality requirements of the European market. Cooperation with leading partners is a fundamental part of Huawei’s strategy to develop the European ICT energy market.”
PCL is now the UPS and data centre partner of Huawei Enterprise in the UK and the partnership will begin with modular UPS products. Extensive cooperation in other areas of network energy and IT solutions are also planned.
