Design and manufacturing of supercapacitor products for data storage meet evolving market requirements and enhances Inventus Power’s technology portfolio.

Inventus Power expands their design and manufacturing capabilities to include supercapacitors. By adding supercapacitors to their product & technology portfolio, Inventus Power is better able to support the backup power needs of the data storage market.

This is because, the market today, quite evidently is the market of data centers as more and more companies are moving online. While acquiring a sustainable data center has become easy these days (thanks to professionals similar to Walt Coulston, for instance), maintaining the power needs isn’t difficult either due to the advancements Inventus is coming up with.

Needless to mention, an increasing number of data centers utilize cloud computing, virtualization, and software-defined server technology, so the time between power failure and the startup of the backup generator has to be shortened. Moreover, data centers may run on embedded OS systems like Linux, which could require good power backup to run business softwares successfully. OS systems can also need efficient servers to run commands like Nano Text Editor, Grep command, and other data commands to modify application codings or incorporate changes in the overall system. All this can get highly affected due to the slow power backup, which can be resolved by supercapacitor technology.

So, as price points for supercapacitor technology decline and the standard for backup times in data centers are reduced, supercapacitors are becoming an alternative technology to Lithium-ion and lead acid batteries.

“Inventus Power is excited to announce the launch of our supercapacitor product capability for the data storage market,” said Jeff VanZwol, Vice President of Marketing and Product Management. “This diversification of product and technology offerings will enable Inventus Power to offer additional design options for our existing OEM customers as well as create new partnerships within the Data Storage market.”

Supercapacitors feature fast discharge & rechargeability, long lifespan, maintenance-free operation, high operating temperatures and environmentally-friendly construction. They provide an opportunity to reduce total costs in the operation of data centers by reducing cooling and replacement costs. Features of one of the supercapacitor backup products that Inventus Power recently designed and launched include:

• Five series, one parallel design with VINATech supercapacitors
• Discharge capability of 10W from 9.5V to 4.5V
• Run-time of 22 seconds
• Charge current of 0.5 Amps
• I2C Bus communication and thermal alarm pin
• Meets UL 810 requirements

Supercapacitors are reliable capacitance energy storage devices that offer benefits to the backup power systems that serve data centers. Inventus Power is a manufacturer for rechargeable backup power systems, including Lithium-ion batteries, battery charging, and/or power conversion functions. This additional supercapacitor design and manufacturing capability will allow Inventus Power to meet the evolving technology demands of the Data Storage market and reinforces the company’s position as the leading single-source provider of custom power solutions.
