Nickel-Zinc UPS Battery Cabinets are Built For an Easy Upgrade at Data Centers Worldwide

As cloud-based services and storage become central to business operations, data centers are under increasing pressure to ensure the resilience of their mission critical facilities. Data centers rely on uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems to secure continued operations during power outages and other disturbances, most often powered by lead-acid batteries. However, UPS systems that utilize nickel-zinc (NiZn) battery technology have specific advantages over lead-acid in terms of performance, reliability, safety, lifetime cost and climate impact.

The Investment in Intelligent Transportation Systems’ Safe, Reliable, and Sustainable Rollout

Through advances in and incorporation of wireless and communications based technologies, vehicles and infrastructure have become increasingly intertwined, resulting in the creation of intelligent transportation systems (ITS). The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has defined ITS as an operational system of various technologies that, when combined and managed, improve the overall system’s operating capabilities. Over the past few decades, ITS have emerged as an essential component of our transportation system, providing not only convenience but also information that can prevent potential crashes, keep traffic moving, and decrease the negative environmental impacts of the sector. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) is a monumental commitment by the U.S. government to the future of our transportation system.
