Replacing your existing power supplies with more efficient alternatives from ColdWatt could save $50,000 a year for a 400-server datacenter, according to InfoWorld.

ColdWatt has developed a digital power conversion technology for AC-DC power subsystems that uses magnetics to increase energy storage in its power supplies and digital controls to boost efficiency and flexibility.

According to the company, its front-end power supplies boast better than 90 percent efficiency, compared with the 70 percent efficiency level of commodity power supplies.

ColdWatt’s first offerings are the 650W Power Sub-System and the AC-DC 1U 1200W Power Supply, designed for 1U servers.

ColdWatt recently joined The Green Grid.
