Data centres

Data centres require immense power supply and power generation for uptime and operation. If your customer service level agreement (SLA) guarantees 99.9% uptime then ensuring your servers and racks are always powered is critical. We can keep your data centre running at full capacity with our backup generators (which are designed in accordance with the DCP (Data Centre Power) declaration and Uptime Institute), and our data centre UPS. We can support from design right through to commissioning and maintenance, and all this is underpinned by our sector leading team of over 80 field engineers for ongoing support.

Data Centres and the Critical Role of High-Quality, Efficient UPS Systems

The Heart of Data Reliability

In the digital age, data centres are the backbone of modern business operations. They house vital information, power applications, and facilitate seamless connectivity across the globe. Ensuring these data centres operate without interruption is paramount, making the choice of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems a critical decision.

The Importance of High-Quality, Efficient UPS Systems

Ensuring Continuous Operation: High-quality UPS systems are designed to provide seamless power backup during outages or power fluctuations. This continuity is essential for data centres, where even a brief interruption can lead to significant data loss, downtime, and financial repercussions. By choosing top-tier UPS solutions, businesses can safeguard their operations against unexpected power disruptions.

Enhancing Performance and Efficiency

Efficient UPS systems not only ensure a continuous power supply but also contribute to the overall performance of the data centre. Modern UPS technologies are engineered for energy efficiency, reducing the total cost of ownership while minimizing environmental impact. This balance of reliability and efficiency makes high-quality UPS systems a smart investment for any data centre.

Our Services and Maintenance Capabilities

We cover a large range of services and maintenance jobs across generators, UPS, and batteries as highlighted below.

Protecting Sensitive Equipment

Data centres house sensitive and expensive equipment that can be vulnerable to power surges, spikes, and outages. High-quality UPS systems provide a stable power source, protecting these critical assets from damage. This protection extends the lifespan of the equipment and ensures that data integrity is maintained at all times.

The Necessity of Regular Maintenance

Maintaining Optimal Performance: Even the most advanced UPS systems require regular maintenance to function at their best. Routine checks and servicing ensure that all components are in good working order and can respond effectively in an emergency. This proactive approach minimises the risk of failure and keeps the data centre running smoothly.

Identifying and Resolving Issues Early

Frequent maintenance allows for the early detection of potential issues that could compromise the UPS system’s performance. By identifying and addressing problems before they escalate, businesses can avoid costly downtime and maintain their data centre’s reliability.

Ensuring Compliance and Safety

Regular maintenance of UPS systems is not just about performance; it’s also about safety. Ensuring that UPS units are in top condition helps in complying with industry standards and regulations. This compliance is critical for mitigating risks and avoiding legal complications.

Case Study

£3m upgrade for backup power system at bank’s data centre

Our banking client had a 6-generator system providing backup power to their data centre. Each system provided 1 MW, 1250 kVA.

The system had become outdated and parts had become obsolete which prevented necessary repairs and servicing from being carried out to keep the system current and reliable.

Dale’s Solution

Following a rigorous survey, a 5-year programme was developed to upgrade the full backup power provision.

Some of the generators were replaced with modern components and made fit for purpose.

Replacement of obsolete components, on otherwise good generators, was a cost-effective solution to extend the life of parts of the backup power systems.

Our Results

  • The refurbished generators received new open protocol systems, providing modern functionality with accessible monitoring and control systems

  • Exhaust, cooling and acoustic systems were updated

  • Fuel systems were upgraded with bunded pipework and new fuel day tanks, to comply with environmental legislation and mitigate the risk of fuel leakage
