Our two primary datacentres are located in East London (Stratford) and West London (Slough). Our backup facilities are based in Chicago.
Commercial Power
- Two separate power feeds provided by LE 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
- Building 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 a 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, Ventilation 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 24×7 by onsite personnel.
