“It shifted our role from product provider to really
workinghand-in-handwiththedesignteam,”Gooch
says. “We all worked together to decide where the
bladeserverswouldgo,wheretheprecisioncooling
units would go, where we needed perforated panels,
and other decisions affecting airflow and cooling
efficiency. It truly was a team approach, and that

BayCare used the same discipline to solve its power
needs. It chose multiple 500 kVA Liebert Series 610
UPS systems because of the reliability, ease of use
that comes with the front panel design, and the
ability to transfer and manage power as needed.
