power system was designed for maximum redundancy, ensuring that our
customers' servers will never be unavailable due to a power outage. The next
few images showcase our power room, which houses several large-scale UPS and
AC units. |

Power Room (UPS
Units) |
|
|
|
NOC utilizes 6 – 500KVA Powerware UPS units for battery backup power in
emergency situations. Each unit comprises 160 batteries each for a grand
total of 960 batteries and 80 minutes of runtime. The UPS units operate in
failover pairs extending the redundancy and runtime of the battery backup
units. All UPS units are monitored via DATATRAX™ with information
distributed to the NOC facility in real time. These units are also monitored
via NOC Engineers 24/7 by physical inspection every 4 hours. |

Power Room
(Automatic Transfer Switches) |
|
These automatic transfer switches transfer
power automatically during periods of electrical failure to any of our three
electrical grid feeds. The transfer switches automatically transfer power
between the power grids, the UPS units and our diesel generators without
power interruption. All environmental systems are monitored via our DATATRAX™
monitoring system and any variance in systems is reported immediately to NOC
facility.

The electrical infrastructure is broken into
three primary zones within the datacenter (A, B, C). Zone A services ˝ of
the datacenter with electricity. Zone B services the remaining ˝ of the
datacenter and Zone C overlays the entire datacenter creating a complete
redundancy in electricity allowing for the 100% uptime SLA. Our north
generator is a 1.5 Megawatt – 16 cylinder diesel generator sitting atop a
2500 gallon diesel tank. This generator supplies electricity for zones A and
B and has a maximum runtime of 15 days with onsite fuel. Offsite fuel
contracts have SLA requirements of 4 hours for a refuel. Diesel generators
can run indefinitely and are monitored by DATATRAX™ monitoring system.
