EDC's state-of-the-art Data Centres are designed for resilience and robustness to ensure your critical IT systems will continue to run even during prolonged nationwide blackouts.
EDC has invested in a number of solutions and strategies to ensure performance, redundancy and reliability of the power supply to all data centres.
This is achieved through:
- Carefully selected standby power generators, UPSs and active harmonic filters for optimum performance;
- Dedicated and fire segregated electrical plant rooms for transformers (maximum of two in any single enclosure) MSBs, UPSs and UPS batteries;
- Six substations, including one redundant substation, two emergency plants on 4 + 1 configuration, 24 UPS systems on N + N configuration with 'A' plan and a 'B' plan distribution system;
- One hundred per cent redundant power distribution network for mechanical chillers as well as CRAC/PCUs with automatic transfer switches to minimise interruptions;
- Power distribution system with "total co-ordination” (i.e. overload and fault discrimination);
- High "availability” power provision with best-of-breed redundancies;
- High "reliability” power system with minimal power distribution equipment;
- Underground tanks housing hundreds of thousands of litres of backup fuel;
- State-of-the-art high efficiency UPS systems, with low carbon emissions;
- Green data centre with minimal energy wastage;
- Tier 3 plus classification electrical installation to TIA 942 "Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Data Centres”;
- Minimisation of circuit breakers in line for high reliability;
- Modular design and installation to isolate cross interference and any adverse effect between various zones and floors of the data centre;
- Power monitoring system to manage the facility to its optimum efficiency, reliability and availability;
- Current harmonic mitigation to improve the distribution system efficiency; and
- EMI mitigation to minimise equipment down time caused by power system electro magnetic radiation.
