October 02, 2006 by Jeff Shepard

Powervation Ltd and Commergy Ltd. have entered into an agreement to collaborate on the development of complete digital power delivery solutions for OEM customers in networking and computing applications. Under the agreement, Commergy will have early access to Powervation's digital power controller technology to enable the advance development of digitized power delivery for key OEM custumers. Powervation expects to benefit from Commergy's experience in high efficiency power supply design, existing market reach and incorporation into Commergy's leading edge power solutions.

Antoin Russell, CEO of Powervation, commented, "Commergy has a first class team of power gurus and an incredible track record of designing innovative, high efficiency power solutions for leading customers in the computer, networking and storage markets. Commergy's model is unique in the industry as their designs are targeted at specific emerging market requirements and then licensed to the client for manufacture using their own supply chain. Their business model means that the customer benefits not only from their innovative and responsive design services but also from fast market entry, security of supply and most of all from a significant reduction to the overall sourcing costs for the power supply solution."

Garry Tomlins, Marketing Director of Commergy, added, "We have a long-standing relationship with the team at Powervation and are particularly excited about developing products based on their upcoming digital power controller technology. It fits very well with our developing range of high efficiency platforms and in enabling us to provide end-to-end advanced power delivery solutions. The controller, apart from being fully digitally configurable, incorporates fast transient technology and some very exciting new features (so far undisclosed to the general market) which we believe offer compelling advantages over comparable digital controllers in the space."
