Your Data Center, Your Way
Whether your data center is a traditional building, a modular configuration, or a series of containers, Active Power has simple, powerful solutions for you. Rely on us for systems ranging from complete, turnkey PowerHouse™ installations to the efficient power protection of CleanSource® UPS.
Traditional Data Centers
Active Power can design and deliver innovative continuous power solutions for your traditional data center building. Start with highly efficient and reliable CleanSource UPS. Then add switchgear, generator, and other equipment from best-in-class partners to provide a complete electrical plant room. Or take the plant room outside with our PowerHouse continuous power solution and use that space for additional mission-critical IT equipment.
Modular Data Centers
Modular data centers can provide tremendous benefits in cost, delivery time and flexibility, and Active Power's offerings can magnify those benefits. PowerHouse's self-contained, plug-and-play design aligns perfectly with any modular IT system. If you're deploying a central electrical plant, CleanSource UPS provides an efficient, reliable and green backup power solution.
Containerized Data Centers
If you're looking at a containerized data center – in an unused parking lot, a refurbished shopping mall, airplane hangar or even a custom-built shell building, then Active Power's proven ingenuity will really shine. We have deployed both standard PowerHouse systems and custom containerized electrical rooms for some of the most innovative and demanding containerized data centers around the world.
Inside PowerHouse
Engineered for efficiency.
PowerHouse is a modular, portable continuous power system available for rapid deployment based on Active Power's high-efficiency and highly resilient architecture. The complete system is housed in a purpose-built enclosure and can be deployed in any number of locations - a roof, loading bays, secure compounds or even a parking structure. PowerHouse consists of six key elements, all pre-assembled and tested at one of our operations facilities and delivered as an integrated system. Select a number to view more information about each component.

PowerHouse Benefits
Sometimes less is more.
Less Cost
Deploying a PowerHouse system can save as much as 25% on capital expenditures compared to conventional brick-and-mortar construction. Factory engineering, assembly and testing of your continuous power system yield efficiencies, which in turn save you money. With the highest overall efficiency, lower service and maintenance cost, and never having to replace batteries again you achieve significant TCO savings – up to 60% compared to that of a legacy infrastructure.
Less Complexity
PowerHouse architecture is pre-assembled and tested at an Active Power facility, taking the guess-work and unknowns out of the installation and commissioning phase. System components are chosen much like any other power infrastructure. The critical difference is the integration and testing happens at an ISO 9001 certified factory rather than your construction site. When the concrete pad is poured, the pre-tested power infrastructure is deployed and ready to power up.
Less Energy
The critical power path in the PowerHouse system is Active Power's high efficiency architecture. With a maximum loading of 40% in Tier IV solutions, PowerHouse delivers 96% energy efficiency versus 90% for conventional power architecture with batteries protecting the same electrical load. The savings immediately and directly impacts energy costs once all systems are up and running.
Less Carbon
Carbon footprint of a data center is a key measure and direct derivative of the overall efficiency of the infrastructure. The higher efficiency of PowerHouse versus legacy power solutions drives a 75% reduction in carbon emissions.
Less Space
Active Power delivers the most power dense architecture in the industry that is also the most flexible and rugged for deployment needs. Eliminate the dedicated inside space – and more importantly the strictly temperature controlled battery room – and gain back as much as 21% of real estate for revenue-generating IT equipment.
Less Uncertainty
PowerHouse is proven to deliver:
- The PowerHouse architecture is field proven, constantly monitored and proven to be less likely to fail than legacy systems.
- Active Power systems have more than 100 million hours of field runtime in 40+ countries, including some of the harshest environments in the world.
- Complete monitoring and control software provides real-time system visibility from virtually anywhere to improve your awareness of power-related events.
Professional Services
Ingenuity on your side.
One of the most compelling benefits of an Active Power turnkey solution is single source accountability because the fewer people to manage, the less complicated a project becomes. Active Power will handle every aspect from design to commissioning to ongoing care.
Experienced engineers and project managers will work with you to develop and implement a solution that best complements your organization's business continuity plan. The key elements of reliability, efficiency, and cost are aligned with business objectives to deliver the ideal system.
Active Power provides expert assessment, design, implementation, project management, maintenance and support during every phase of critical power system deployment and operation. Power Service maintenance programs ensure complete lifecycle support.
