Liebert Corporation, a business of the Emerson Network Power platform of Emerson Electric, is a global manufacturer of power, precision cooling and infrastructure management systems for mainframe computer, server racks, and critical process systems. Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, the business employs more than 1,800 people across 12 manufacturing plants worldwide. ==History== Founded by Ralph C. Liebert (1918-1984) as Capitol Refrigeration Industries in 1946, Liebert Corporation was formed in 1965 as the industry’s first designer and manufacturer of computer room air conditioning (CRAC) systems. Targeted to the mainframe computer data-processing market, Liebert CRAC systems were the first self-contained units capable of maintaining air temperature, humidity and air quality within precision tolerances. In 1977, Liebert launched sister company Conditioned Power Corporation to design and manufacture power distribution, conditioning and monitoring systems for the data processing industry. The company remained a wholly owned subsidiary until 1981, when it became a division of Liebert Corporation upon the company’s initial public offering. The company strengthened this division in 1983 with the acquisition of Franklin Electric subsidiary Programmed Power Corporation. The acquisition expanded the capabilities of the company’s power division to include the design and manufacture of uninterruptible power supplies.〔(Acquisition History, Emerson Network Power Fact Sheet )〕 Liebert Corporation was acquired by Emerson Electric Co. of St. Louis, Missouri in 1987.〔 〕 The company remained a wholly owned subsidiary of Emerson until 2000, when the company consolidated its network and computer protection businesses to form its Emerson Network Power platform group.〔“A history of innovation and customer support,” Company History from Corporate Web Site ()〕 As part of the Emerson Network Power platform, the Liebert and Liebert Services businesses offer power, cooling, monitoring and management stuff for critical data center applications, as well as professional services. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Liebert (company)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
