Our power systems include full Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems with N+1 redundancy levels or greater and backup generator systems in the event of a local utility failure. In case of a power outage, batteries turn on immediately, followed within 8 seconds by the generators which can power the entire data center.
Cooling
To keep equipment operating at its peak, each data center houses a multicomponent temperature control system running 24/7. Your center may include:
Variable frequency drives
Chilled water pumps
Centrifugal chillers and condenser pumps
External cooling towers and cold-aisle containment
CRAC air-handling units in the colocation area
Note: Cooling system specifications vary by data center location
