Active Power Supports Datum in Delivering Environmentally Intelligent, Resilient Datacentre
May 2013 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
With the goal of putting in place resilient electrical infrastructure and achieving a low power usage effectiveness (PUE), Datum has deployed Active Power’s CleanSource® 1000 kVA uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system at its new colocation facility in QinetiQ Cody Technology Park in Farnborough, United Kingdom.
The flagship facility designed and built by specialist firm Keysource opened earlier this year and includes as its customers managed service providers, systems integrators, and other technology firms. All critical backup power equipment including UPS was deployed in a separate energy centre apart from the main datacentre. CleanSource UPS was integrated into a 2N design with two separate power paths supporting the facility’s IT loads, ensuring complete resilience and full concurrent maintainability in a modular scalable solution.
