HPE 500172-S21 1200 Watts High Efficiency Redundant Power Supply

Product Description

This 1200 Watt High Efficiency Redundant Power Supply, identified by SKU 500172-S21, is engineered to meet the stringent power demands of HPE ProLiant servers operating in critical environments. The 'High Efficiency' rating signifies that a greater percentage of the input power is converted into usable output power, leading to reduced energy waste, lower heat generation, and decreased operational costs. This makes it an environmentally responsible and economically advantageous choice for data centers. The 'Redundant' capability is a cornerstone of its design, enabling deployment in configurations where two power supplies work in tandem. If one unit fails, the other seamlessly takes over the full load, preventing any interruption to server operations. This feature is vital for mission-critical applications where downtime is unacceptable and maximum availability is a priority. Furthermore, the hot-swappable nature of the 500172-S21 allows for its removal and replacement without powering down the server. This capability drastically simplifies maintenance procedures and ensures that the server remains online even during hardware servicing. It is a key component for maintaining the high availability and reliability expected from enterprise-grade server infrastructure.
