    Redundancy

    Engineered for zero unplanned downtime

    Every layer of our power chain is redundant. Dual utility paths feed N+1 parallel UPS systems, which distribute independent A+B feeds to each rack. An automatic JCB Stage V generator sustains operations through extended grid outages.

    • N+1 Riello Multi Sentry UPS — 96.5% online efficiency
    • Dual A+B feeds from separate distribution boards
    • Automatic diesel generator with 7-day on-site fuel
    • 100% power SLA with 24/7 monitoring and alerting

    Infrastructure

    Mission-critical power delivery

    From single-server colocation to high-density full racks — the same resilient power architecture protects every deployment.

    N+1 parallel UPS

    Dual Riello Multi Sentry UPS systems in an N+1 configuration — if one unit fails, the other takes over without interruption.

    Dual A+B rack feeds

    Independent power paths from separate distribution boards to every cabinet, supporting dual-PSU servers and switches.

    JCB Stage V generator

    Automatic diesel backup with seven days of on-site fuel. HVO bio-diesel capable — up to 90% lower CO₂ emissions.

    24/7 monitoring

    Continuous power monitoring with automated alerts and on-site engineers — plus optional per-rack usage reporting.

    Sustainability

    Protecting the planet without compromising uptime

    Energy is one of the largest costs in any data centre. We combine 100% renewable electricity with efficient cooling, UPS and server platforms — reducing our carbon footprint and passing savings on to customers.
