Data Centre UPS and Generator Services

Ten seconds may not seem like an excessive length of time, but when your servers go down and your clients can’t access their websites and key data, it can feel like an eternity. Especially when you’re an ISO27001 and ISO9001 certified data centre, and your service level agreement (SLA) makes bold claims such as ‘’99.99% uptime guarantee’’, you have to ensure that your servers and racks can operate with full redundant connectivity. Data centres require immense power supply and power generation for uptime and operation. Where secure power is critical and power outages and subsequent loss of data is unacceptable, Dale Power Solutions is the power supply partner that can provide reliable power 24/7, 365 days of the year.

From diesel generator sets and data centre UPS power supplies through to a whole range of power supply services – including remote monitoring, UPS spare parts and generator spare parts – we can keep your data centre running at full capacity. Delivered by a team of technical experts who know our power supply products and services like the back of their hands, they are also available 24/7, 365 days of the year to help with any query and quickly resolve any unexpected issues. You keep your clients’ websites and businesses up and running, and that’s what we do for you.

With Dale Power Solutions as your power supply partner, you can rest easy knowing that your critical equipment will work as and when needed. Regardless of whether you’re located in London, Liverpool, Scarborough, St Albans, Glasgow or Pen y Cymoedd, we’ll be there whenever you need us, making things right as quickly and effectively as possible. To learn more about how we aid your data centre facility, please get in touch with us today.

Why Data Centres Need Continuous Power Supply

The constant growth and expanding nature of the internet and that of the entire industry associated with this technology is giving rise to an ever greater flow of information over the web and the imperative need to store, handle and analyse a vast amount of data. As a result, the energy generation industry has had to adapt itself to this new way of working and to serving the new data storage needs of various sectors including banking, trade, entertainment and public administration agencies, as well as telecommunications, CCTV and networks.

Data centres that make it possible for companies and users to access data quickly, consume a considerable amount of electricity. Any power failure, even one lasting only a few minutes, may well interrupt the work of the entire company and cause important economic losses. Therefore, not only does the electricity that feeds such facilities have to be stable, but its continuous availability has to be guaranteed by redundant supply sources. Following a power outage, an uninterruptible power supply system with true online topology will be able to supply all the protection required – even for the largest, most critical loads. However, a data centre UPS power supply alone will not be sufficient, with data centre generators providing the backup power needed for optimal power generation at all times of the day and night.

Here at Dale Power Solutions, we can guide data centre managers on the level of power generation needed to keep their operations running smoothly. This includes choosing the right data centre UPSs in terms of their redundancy levels, capacity and battery autonomy, and providing guidance on how to integrate them into existing power structures and include generators if required. We can also advise on maintenance and servicing plans, as well as offer training for staff effectiveness.

The Importance of Remote Generator Monitoring & Remote UPS Monitoring

Remote generator monitoring and remote UPS monitoring is there to ensure your site’s critical load is protected by diligent, experienced and trained personnel, even when your facility is unmanned. A swift and dependable planned maintenance service is the best way to maintain high system uptime for your UPSs’ and generators’ lifecycle, and here at Dale Power Solutions, we can monitor multiple sites, systems, alarms, fault signals and fuel systems allowing us to act fast should we need to. Along with preventing faults and avoiding any human error, remote generator monitoring and remote UPS monitoring can also offer access to all of your system data at all times and offer problem analysis and resolution, for the ultimate in power protection.

Remote monitoring can also:

• Access vital operating parameters such as oil pressure, engine temperature, battery voltage, power output, diesel levels, engine run time and engine RPM.
• Remotely start and stop your generator in the field from any location, reducing the need for expensive on-site visits from your end.
• Notify you when fuel levels reach a predetermined level or if there are any fuel theft attempts. These real-time notifications can be sent via SMS or email, RSS feed.

Remote monitoring takes the pressure off and provides full service monitoring solutions.

Our Data Centre Generators

Should a server crash because of a power failure, your business could be incapacitated, and those minutes lost due to power outage may lead to greater financial losses. Interestingly, reputable eCommerce companies are leading the way in search of power solutions that ensure an infallible energy supply without compromising data integrity. It’s no surprise therefore, that these companies have been looking to generator sets for emergency power supply that won’t let them down in the event of grid failure, so that their power always stays on in accordance with their service level agreements (SLA’s).

The energy generation industry has adapted itself to the specific needs of data centres with generator sets that are designed for them, are sized in accordance with the DCP (Data Centre Power) power declaration, and that comply with the regulations that govern them. Similarly, the Uptime Institute is the internationally recognised body that specifies and certifies how the installations of a data centre should be designed. The more critical and vital the data that is stored in a Data Processing Centre (DPC), the more reliable the electricity supply that feeds it has to be. This is why we install, manage and maintain Himoinsa generator sets here at Dale Power Solutions. Himoinsa generator sets comprise redundant start-up systems, promising a 100% engine start-up guarantee.

These data centre generators’ response is super fast, and is all thanks to their pre-heating resistance with a pump. As the water is kept at a minimum temperature of 40ºC, the generator set is able to start up in ten seconds. With major corporations calculating that each second it takes for their website page to load can equate to losses amounting to billions of pounds, the sooner you’re back online, the better.

All in all, today’s internet user is tech-savvy, on the go and unwilling to give your website a second chance. They have all the purchasing possibilities that this global and hyper-connected market can offer at their fingertips and an array of like-minded websites to choose from. Companies that are able to adapt to this demand for immediate information and service, without any delays or power outages during the process, will succeed in this highly competitive marketplace. It’s therefore imperative that you provide your clients with a data centre they can rely on, with backup generators in place to provide continuous uptime and availability.

The Generators We Recommend For Data Centres

We can meet the generator needs of clients who depend on data centres, including those from the eCommerce, banking, entertainment and public administration sectors, as well as those from the digital marketing, software and food and drink industries. Himoinsa generator sets ensure that your clients can store and access their data and information whenever they need it, and that their customers can fully utilise their websites too.

For data centres, we recommend a generator from our heavy range, and we can guide you on the most suitable choice based on your power requirements.
