MONTRÉAL, QC – January 27, 2009 – Today, SSI, a Montréal-based company specialized in custom built uninterruptible power supply systems (UPS), celebrated its 25th anniversary and officially launched the Mitsubishi 9900A, a revolutionary uninterruptible power supply system, manufactured by Mitsubishi Electric Corporation.

From 80kVA to 225kVA, the Mitsubishi 9900A, available in either single or parallel configurations, represents a major breakthrough in the field of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems. The Mitsubishi 9900A is the lightest UPS system in the industry, with the smallest footprint and the lowest heat loss. The Mitsubishi 9900A has the highest energy efficiency – more than 96.5% and can represent a 20% saving on your utility bill. It is THE ultimate UPS, a real GREEN machine.

Michel Masse, director of sales & marketing at SSI stated: "The high density data centers we operate today consume more power and require more cooling then ever. In fact, most data rooms double their computing or storage capacity every 18 to 24 months. This new business reality poses key engineering, operational and financial challenges. How do I protect my growing computing and network capacity without outgrowing my electro-mechanical infrastructure. This is why Mitsubishi has developed the 9900A - the ultimate uninterruptible power supply system - the most innovative so far – that will generate substantial green power and cooling cost savings."

As the exclusive Quebec distributor of the Mitsubishi 9900A, SSI is proud to offer its customers a wide range of products and services that enable companies to strengthen and secure their infrastructures. Throughout these 25 years, SSI has developed business solutions that are tailored to the needs of today and are environmentally ready to meet the demands of tomorrow.

Participants at the launch of this "green" state-of-the-art product have seen first hand the Mitsubishi 9900A, 100KVa and the incredible performance and impressively small size of the system.

Claude R. Ostiguy, President of SSI, and Dean Richards, Director of sales and business development of Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, welcomed Keisuke Watanabe, and Junichiro Oonishi, both part of the Japanese team who designed the 9900A, as well as many customers and partners.
