Power Plant Room

Power

Power to the building is supplied via an independent sub-station located within the site boundary.

In the event of a mains power failure the UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) seamlessly takes over to make sure there is a consistent source of power to the Data Centre. In the unlikely event of a prolonged mains power failure, the 3x 800kVA N+1 Generators will back up the UPS. The generator is diesel driven and there are contracts in place with suppliers to make sure that the generator always has enough fuel.

Air-Conditioning

Air Conditioning

The Data Centre is fully climate controlled with N+1 Stulz DX Cybercool Air Conditioning Systems. The units monitor and control the temperature and humidity levels to ensure the optimum temperature is maintained. In the unlikely event of failure, there are additional units on standby to continue the control of the environment.

The facility is equipped with floor and ceiling vents on alternate rows to assist air flow, cold air is circulated under the floor and drawn up through the racks cooling the equipment; the warm air is then taken back to the air conditioning units via ceiling vents.

The raised floor in both halls increases climate control airflow and also allows easy access to the cabling and power supply to the racks.
