Located in North Central Illinois, TriRivers is a healthcare information technology organization jointly sponsored by Swedish American Health System and FHN (formerly Free- port Health Network). The collaborative venture provides shared infrastructure and staf ng, a regional fi ber optic network and co-location data center services to support over 5,000 users across more than 50 loca- tions in Illinois and Wisconsin. TriRivers sought a premium backup power system capable of safeguarding the more than 1,000 virtual mission critical servers within its data centers. The organi- zation also wanted a solution it could grow into, as well as one that would facilitate easy maintenance. TriRivers gained a highly scalable, centralized power protection and distribution solution by collaborating with Eaton's data center experts. Combining technical innovation with a rich feature set, the power management solution delivers an impressive combination of power performance, electrical ef ciency, simplifi ed management, inherent fl exibility and power density. As the heart of the power protection system, the double-conversion design of the Eaton 9390 backup power system provides TriRivers with the highest level of protection, safeguarding equipment against the most common power problems. Energizing IT systems to power the transformation of healthcare TriRivers Health Partners EMERGENCY POWER In addition, with a high-ef ciency rating of 94 percent and output power factor of 0.90, the unit lowers total ownership costs by reducing the cost of power to support protected loads. The 9390 backup power system provides internal expan- sion capacity to help TriRivers meet future needs economically. The unit also provides a fully redundant backup power system to minimize the risk of unexpected outages and supports HIPAA requirements for network uptime. With instant response to utility conditions, the UPS can quickly detect changes within incoming power feeds to ensure reliable power for always- on operations. New Eaton power distribution units and busway infrastructure complement the scalability of the 9390. The complete power distribution system is capable of cost-ef ec- tive expansion when business moves for- ward. Eaton's busway is custom-engineered and built to fi t TriRivers' specifi c layout requirements, with a compact design that occupies less space and can be installed faster than traditional cabling. The Eaton-managed ePDU power dis- tribution units allow TriRivers to monitor and control critical factors such as voltage, current and power. This level of informa- tion enables the organization to make the right decision when it comes to data center energy consumption and also pro- actively helps prevent power loss. To unify monitoring and management of its power system, TriRivers relies on Intelligent Power Manager software. This platform allows users to monitor and manage multiple power and environmental devices across the network from a single interface. The software combines critical applications to ensure system uptime and data integrity with power monitoring and management. To complete the package, TriRivers outfi tted its data center with Eaton's Paramount enclosure system, a platform compatible with virtually all major servers, switches and other networking equipment. It provides integrated heat containment and unparalleled levels of storage, cooling, power integration and cable management to meet nearly any client need. The racks also provide a secure locking system to heighten security in accordance with HIPAA. With the Eaton solution, TriRivers can better help healthcare clients reduce costs through the centralization of data and real-time energy management functions — without worrying about the safety or accessibility of data.
