IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire - September 12, 2007) - MGE Office Protection Systems (www.mgeops.com),
a world leader in providing end-to-end power protection systems for today's
power hungry computing, IT and industrial applications, has just received
the Silver Award for its Pulsar MX RT UPS system in Consulting-Specifying
Engineer (CSE) magazine's annual "A Perfect 10" Product of the Year
competition. Originally placed as Finalist by an expert panel of consulting
engineers, the innovative system was judged by CSE's readers as they voted
throughout July to determine the 2007 winner. Designed to deliver the
highest level of protection for 20 to 110 servers and provide matchless
scalability from 5 kVA to 20 kVA featuring on-line double-conversion
technology, the Pulsar MX UPS System was honored as the Second Place winner in
the Power Generation category, and will be presented in CSE's November
issue.
"We are honored to receive such a prestigious award from
Consulting-Specifying Engineer's editorial staff and readers," said MGE
Office Protection Systems' VP of North and South America, Curtiz Gangi. "To
receive such an accolade from the engineering community is an honor, and we
are pleased that the publication has given our innovative Pulsar MX UPS
systems their seal of approval. As a team, we strive each day to provide
the UPS industry with unmatched quality and reliability, always looking to
heighten the bar in design and customer satisfaction."
Created to accommodate the growth of small and mid-sized companies as power
requirements increase, MGE Office Protection Systems has designed the
Pulsar MX UPS system as a fully scalable solution to deliver business
continuity 7X24. Utilizing a redundant architecture, the system can scale
power and runtime as demand increases or when higher levels of availability
are required -- all in a compact and affordable package. When the Pulsar
MX on-line double-conversion power modules are connected in parallel within
the Pulsar MX Frame, power can be readily scaled from 5 kVA to 10, 15 (with
redundancy) or 20 kVA power levels -- without disrupting connected
equipment -- all within the Pulsar MX's compact 16U (28 inch) frame. With
up to 18 kW, this solution provides the highest power density in the
industry and is a perfect match for a rack fully populated with blade
servers. For the first time, the same power and battery sub-modules can be
used for both the standalone UPS and the modular chassis, which
significantly reduces the entry cost to scalability. Users can decide to
acquire a cost-competitive Pulsar MX 5000 RT, and then migrate to a fully
scalable, redundant solution using the Pulsar MX Frame while still using
the original power and battery sub-modules of the original 5 kVA standalone
UPS.
Consulting-Specifying Engineer's Silver Award is one of many coveted honors
that MGE Office Protection Systems has received globally within the past 24
months. Known for providing highly reliable power protection products in a
number of industries including IT, reseller and industrial/manufacturing,
MGE has demonstrated its strength with commendations from such publications
as MicroHelbdo (France), Décision Informatique (France), Prohardver
(Hungary), PC Magazine (Russia), Dealer World (Spain), MacWorld (Spain), PC
World (Spain) Personal Computer World (U.K.), IT World, (U.K.) and PC Pro
(U.K.) MGE Office Protection Systems' award winning products include the
Pulsar 1000, Pulsar MX RT, Evolution, Ellipse ASR 1000, Midspan PoE, Pulsar
Extreme, Comet EX RT and Protection Center.
