3 Liebert icom Mission Critical Protection Insight & Visibility Industry Best Energy Efficiency Simple & Low Cost Deployment

4 icom Provides Mission Critical Protection Highest protection against downtime, equipment damage and excess wear and tear Industry Best Efficiency 15% - 40% energy savings on legacy, new installs and planned builds Insight and Visibility Intuitive interface for advanced monitoring, system performance analysis and quick diagnostics Simple, Low Cost Deployment An integrated system that can be easily installed, modified and upgraded, reducing implementation costs by 20% or more

5 What is icom Industry s Most Advanced Data Center Control Solution Unit System Auxiliary Devices Components Sensors External Sensors Optimization

6 Mission Critical Protection

7 Mission Critical Protection Quick Start Standby Unit Activation DX Protection CW Flush Cycle Valve Protection

8 Standby Unit Operation Standby Rotation Balance system run hours Rotate daily, weekly, or monthly Lead/Lag Operation = Standby = On Standby unit activated when alarm occurs in a primary unit Additional equipment (AC4/AC8) not required Cascade Fixed If room temperature or humidity level can not be regulated by active units, standby units activated automatically to regain control of the space Gives more control of redundant unit staging = Standby = On = Standby Timer Reset Rotate Unit-to-Unit network established! Cascade = On Normal Unit-to-Unit network established

9 DX Protection Advanced freeze and pressure routines predict and self heal by changing unit operating state Prevents ice on coil and locked out compressors Low Pressure Freeze Operation Safe Area Normal Operation High Pressure Reduced Capacity

10 Valve Specific Routines Decrease valve failure rates Customer implemented custom control system into legacy Chilled Water Units Saved customer ~$30,000 / year Customer began seeing increase in valve failures Increase in 4 valves per $500 / valve Replacement cost of $24,000 / year Site implemented new control system Cause was determined that new control system was repositioning valves well beyond MTBF specs

11 Industry Best Energy Efficiency

12 Industry Best Efficiency Operation Coordination Optimized Aisle Control Cascade Routines EEV Control Pumped Refrigerant Control Fan Speed Coordination

13 Liebert icom Optimized Aisle How it Works Manages air flow and cooling capacity independently Server and Room centric solution Adjust to server utilization Utilizes pressure and temperature sensors for any application Adapts from zero to full containment What it Delivers Reliable IT operation Cooling Efficiency Lowest Fan Power Highest RAT for best cooling unit performance Visualization Thermal Mapping

14 Optimized Aisle Overview Control mode that allows icom to manage air flow and cooling capacity independently. As the environment changes due to server utilization, equipment location changes and outside variables so does the icom controller Adapts from no containment to end containment to full containment 14 Static Pressure

15 Liebert icom Teamwork Mode Strategies Fixed Speed Variable Speed 3 Units ON, 1 in Standby 4 Units operating together Fans must operate at 100% to meet demand Fans can operate at 75% to meet demand 3 units X 8.1 kw = 24.3 kw 4 units X 3.4 kw = 13.6 kw

16 Variable Speed Cascade Extreme low load conditions may warrant placing units in standby when fan speeds are at the lowest setting Cascade mode allows the units to dynamically coordinate and place units into standby for the best efficiency from low to full load. 16

17 Case Study Customer Size Units Application Upgrade/Retrofits Savings Payback Period Additional Benefits Verizon Wireless ~30,000 sq. ft. 32 Air Cooled units No coordination of units so some cool others heat icom Retrofits and Units split into 6 teams $211,000 / year $7.03 /sq. ft. 1.2 years Unlocked additional capacity, better temperature distribution throughout space and higher protection Group 1 Group 2 Group 3 Group 4 Group 5 Group 6 Stand By(9)

18 Case Study Customer Size Units Upgrade/Retrofits PUE Before 1.47 PUE After Fans/iCOM 1.35 PUE After Wireless Co-Lo Facility (CA) ~30,000 sq. ft. 36 Chilled Water Units EC Fans, icom Networking, Wireless Sensors 1.30 ($53/rack savings due to wireless) Rebates Yes ($200,000 from just PUE reduction to 1.35) Additional Benefits Increased visibility at IT equipment, provided additional protection through icom Teamwork routines
