Next generation IT > Secure datacentres

All servers are located within state-of-the-art data centres. An alarm system and security cameras are on all perimeter points of the building are constantly monitored, and a biometric security system is also in place. All personnel require authorised escorted visits to the data centre.

Commercial Power

- Two separate power feeds provided by London Electricity and EDF.
- Power supplied from two separate substations. Four transformers at 3,750 KVA each.
- Four PDUs (power distribution units) in our data room, each having primary and backup.
- The facility uses one CPS (continuous power supply) that serves our data room (N+1).

Generator

- Can operate at 100% connected load on five HiTecs and two standby generators.
- Six PowerWave 'state-of-the-art' UPS systems continuously generating power for N+1 redundancy.
- The PowerWave system feeds redundant switchgear providing power to mission critical loads.
- Two 2-megawatt standby generators serve facility essential loads. N+1 capacity.
- One 2-megawatt stationary load bank, for bypass testing and duty cycle maintenance.

DC Power System

- The data room has 1600 AMP redundant DC battery system.

Diesel Fuel Supply

- 20,000 gallons, On-site. The facility is also on the emergency fuel list.

HVAC (Heating, Ventilating and Air-Conditioning)

- 3,350 tons total refrigeration capacity with N+2 redundancy (5 Chillers at 670 Tons each).
- Seven 30-ton CRAC (Computer Room Air Conditioner) units inside our data room.
- Five cooling towers
- Five chilled water pumps
- Five condenser water pumps
- Five chemical treatment stations

Fire Suppression

- Dry pipe, pre-action system enabled by activation of VESDA (very early smoke detection alarm) and or smoke detectors.

- Loss of air pressure in the pipes caused by a broken sprinkler head will cause water to discharge only if smoke detection is present. The system is monitored 24x7 by onsite personnel.
