Antolin Group Relies on Eaton to Ensure Electrical Safety at Its Facilities
Automotive Components Manufacturer Currently Has the Highest Level of Electrical Safety
15 November 2019, Power management company Eaton has announced that Antolin Group, one of the world's largest manufacturers of automobile internal equipment, will now use its own electrical safety solutions in its data centers. Antolin Group chose Eaton and Cistec Technology, an innovative system integrator, to provide the highest level of reliability and availability to the data centers located on its premises. With this solution, Antolin Group has a safe and reliable system that will protect the company against risks in the event of a power outage.
A power outage, for example, can shut down the plant's production lines and damage its vehicles.
Another benefit of this new solution was the ability to remotely manage all of the Antolin Group's data centers from the company's headquarters in Burgos.
This solution; It is based on Eaton 9PX UPS units powered by dual-cycle technology that reduce electricity consumption by 40% and increase power by 28%, and Eaton Intelligent Power Manager (IPM) software, which provides the tools needed to monitor and manage IT resources in both physical and virtual environments. The equipment used also includes Eaton ATS16 transfer switches, which can power the devices from two different power sources, and the Eaton EMP001 humidity and temperature sensor, which allows monitoring of ambient conditions for the equipment.
Jordi Cuesta, Channel Sales Manager at Eaton IT, said: "With this project in partnership with our partner Cistec Technology, we offer the Antolin Group the highest level of efficiency and electrical safety for IT equipment.
Accordingly, we have ensured that the company will also have the availability and robustness to operate its facilities flawlessly."
At this point, Antolin Group Data Center Solutions Architect Óscar de la Asunción takes the eve:
" The automatic shutdown has drastically reduced uptime. This is because shutting down our virtual machines has an impact on the activities in IT rooms, affecting the validity of nearby systems and necessitating a manual reboot, which is lengthy and cumbersome."
Jesús Tamayo, Data Center Solutions Architect at Antolin Group, explains:
"By implementing this new Eaton solution, we have a secure and reliable system. This solution allows us to automatically manage virtual machines and servers, providing greater autonomy to the infrastructure and preventing systems from shutting down."
Juan Izguierdo, Business Development Manager at Cistec Technology in the Basque Country, said: "What we value most about Eaton solutions is the ability to interact with the customer's VMWare virtual environment thanks to IPM software. This has been key to the success of our project," he concludes, adding: "Given the results of this project, I can say that Eaton is now our first choice among UPS manufacturers."
Due to the positive results of this project, Antolin Group plans to continue its cooperation with Eaton. In fact, within the same deployment, there are 60 more devices that need to be replaced.
