COMLINK Selects Active Power to Support New Facility-s Mission Critical Hosting and Cloud Services Ecosystem

AUSTIN, TX — (Marketwired) — 06/13/13 — To meet the high performance infrastructure needs of its enterprise customers, COMLINK, a broadband, datacenter, and cloud services communications provider, selected Active Power-s (NASDAQ: ACPW) CleanSource® UPS (uninterruptible power supply) platform for its new Grand Rapids, Mich. based data center.

Active Power-s system consists of 600 kVA of total rated UPS capacity in a distributed redundant topology.

Active Power-s UPS product delivers on each of these points all at a lower total cost of ownership compared to conventional solutions.”
