AUSTIN, Texas--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--At [ Uptime Institute Symposium 2010 ] in New York, May 17-19, 2010, Martin Olsen, vice president, Global Channels and Business Development at Active Power, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACPW) is scheduled to deliver a technology innovation presentation on continuous infrastructure systems. He will also participate on a panel with other industry thought leaders to discuss the latest trends in datacenter power provisioning.

"Factory Wired vs Field Wired Continuous Infrastructure Systems: The Model T vs the Rolls Royce"

In his presentation, Olsen will demonstrate how a containerized continuous infrastructure solution can be compared to Henry Forda™s Model T, a product built from a standardized, repeatable process. The result is a cost effective, highly reliable product with little to no defects. Conversely, both the costs and the anticipated defect rates can be extremely high for a field wired, conventional brick and mortar facility compared to a preassembled, factory tested containerized infrastructure solution.

• What: aFactory Wired vs Field Wired Continuous Infrastructure Systems: The Model T vs the Rolls Roycea
• When: Tuesday, May 18, 2:00-2:30 p.m.
• Where: Hilton New York, Gibson Room

The panel discussion topic is datacenter power infrastructure. Panelists will examine a variety of technologies and strategies including flywheel energy storage systems, direct current power distribution, changes to distribution voltages and integration of renewable energy sources.

• What: aInnovations and Roadmap for Powera
• When: Wednesday, May 19, 11:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
• Where: Hilton New York, Gibson Room
