In designing our data centres, power considerations are always paramount. Non-stop means non-stop. So we start from the ground up.
Our local electrical utility company provides a high capacity HV ring from their primary substation. Being a ring we’re protected against cable damage from road works and the like. Onsite at our main facilities we have several independent n+1 UPS Systems and multiple diesel generators within onsite energy centres.
Within the facilities, each hall benefits from an independent power supply, backed by UPS and generator so in case of any outage or surge all systems are protected and will continue to receive power. In addition, our PDUs and aircon systems benefit from additional switchgear, so individual racks remain cool during outages.
If the power goes down totally, our UPS systems take over, providing uninterrupted power whilst our generators kick in. Once activated, the generators have a weeks’ worth of fuel on-site, giving you ample options for backups and peace of mind that continuous power can be provided and the generators refueled.
