Business-Critical Continuity™
For example, if utility power failure causes the UPS
to switch to battery backup but the generator fails
because of overload, SiteScan Web will send alerts
to appropriate personnel, allowing an operator to shed
non-critical loads and re-start the generator before
battery backup time is exhausted. Later, data center
personnel can examine SiteScan Web’s historical
trending and analysis to determine why the generator
failed to start and can correct the issue so that it does
no
t occ
ur again in the f
uture.
“With this r
oom, I need extra security, and SiteScan
Web provides it,” Musgrove says. “We haven't
experienced any downtime since it was installed,
but it has alerted us to conditions that, if uncorrected,
could have taken us offline.”
As HESS adds new equipment to the data center,
Li
ebert SiteScan will adapt to monitor the new
technologies. And, Musgrove maintains active service
contracts with Emerson Network Power to maintain
the power and cooling infrastructure.

astructure that delivers a high degree of flexibility
without compromising availability.
Since installation was complete in March 2006, the
Liebert XD system has delivered on high expectations.
“The system has done exactly what we expected it to
do,” Musgrove says. “It keeps the equipment at a safe
temperature, which keeps it running, and that keeps
our geosciences group happy.”
The scalability inherent in the Liebert XD solution also
gives HESS the option to add additional high-density
computing equipment as needed without retrofitting
the e
ntir
e data center. “If we need to add another
1,000-server computing array tomorrow, one of my
first calls would be to Bud Griffin & Associates,”
Musgrove says. “The plug-and-play nature of the
Liebert XD system allows me to expand on demand.”
Musgrove believes he has found a trusted resource for
delivering the system availability demanded by this
cr
itical research group. “My Liebert equipment gives
me one less thing to worry about. You can't put a price
tag on peace of mind, especially in an operation as
complex and as critical as ours.”
