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.
