IS YOUR UPS ENERGY STORAGE WORKLOAD-READY?

The inherited standard may not tell the full story

Many UPS energy storage decisions still begin with the same familiar checklist: runtime, chemistry, footprint, cost, and maintenance.

All important. None of them enough on their own.

In high-density environments, that checklist can move the discussion too quickly into a battery comparison before the workload has been properly examined. A 15-minute runtime target may still be the right answer. In some environments, it will be. But in short-duration, high-power applications, it may be an inherited assumption from a different power profile.

DataSafe Noir™ energy storage system helps data center teams review the application before the familiar convention becomes the default specification.

More power from less space

When power requirements rise, the energy storage system can quickly become a space and complexity issue. The DataSafe Noir™ energy storage system is designed to deliver high power and energy density in a compact lithium-based platform.

Key Performance Attributes

Fewer cabinets can change the project

As UPS energy storage systems scale, complexity often scales with them. More cabinets can mean more space, more cabling, more installation time, higher weight, and more coordination across the project.

DataSafe Noir™ energy storage system is designed to help reduce that burden through compact system architecture and high-density performance.

In a 1.2 MW system analysis, a DataSafe Noir™ system configuration used two 600 kW cabinets. A traditional competitor configuration supporting a similar system power level required approximately seven lower-power cabinets.

That difference can influence the design in practical ways, from reduced cabling complexity and lower installation burden to more efficient use of floor space and simpler planning for high-power deployments. For data center environments where every square meter has value, energy storage density is not a secondary detail.

Safety by Design

In high-density UPS energy storage applications, safety cannot be treated as a single feature or final checklist item. It has to be considered across the system architecture.

DataSafe Noir™ energy storage system is designed with protection measures at cell, module, and cabinet level, helping data center teams evaluate safety alongside power density, footprint, efficiency, and workload fit.

For high-density data center environments, this layered design helps support controlled operation across the energy storage system, with protection features built in from cell to module to cabinet.
