At the heart of personal and business culture, data centres exist to feed the flexible need for data. Since the cloud's inception, the demand for data centres have been increasing and there are no plans for slowing down any time soon. Whether you keep your data centre on-prem or utilise a cloud data centre or even a combination of both, data is king and protecting it at all costs is the name of the game.

UPS Solutions
Power-related problems constitute around 45% of data centre downtime and the biggest source of those problems are the UPS units themselves. Distributed or decentralised components within UPS products will add additional layers of protection. In traditional terms, a parallel redundant solution may be defined as N+1 - N being the maximum load available for protection and +1 would be a redundant UPS solution to share the load in normal operation and then handle all the load should the 'primary' UPS solution fail. Let's say the load is 80kW. Data centres could purchase two 100kVA UPS solutions where either UPS could take on the load should the other fall over. Over time, advances in modular designed UPS have made steps to ensure that these products are also fully decentralised too, although batteries also need to be redundant to truly get parallel redundancy.
Whilst many levels of hardware protection are available, if left without manufacturer-level servicing and maintenance, the hardware will likely fail prematurely. The best way to achieve uptime is a robust maintenance support agreement with annual (or bi-annual) preventative maintenance visits. After all, prevention is better than the cure.
As a brand-agnostic provider of UPS products, The UPS Team Ltd can assist data centres with servicing and maintaining multiple brands of hardware under a single contract agreement, meaning a one-stop-shop for your Uninterruptible Power needs. As an entry-level agreement for any new clients partnering with The UPS Team for UPS protection on data centres, we offer free health checks on hardware (subject to terms) as well as multi-year discount available for 3-5 year maintenance contracts agreements. Not only will your data centre be in safe hands, but it will also be in safe hands for years to come at extremely competitive pricing. Get in touch today to find out more.
