Making sure the data centre has maximum uptime
Tier 3 data centres need to be able to guarantee almost 100 percent uptime , which means failure is just not an option .
icolo . io designs , builds and operates state of the art carrier neutral data centres and just completed a Tier 3 unit in Mombasa , the coastal town , and second largest city in Kenya .
They needed to test all the equipment , including power generators , UPS systems and precision cooling before they could get it online , to ensure everything met the strict industry standards .
The solution
All the equipment needed for staged testing
We supplied a 1266 kW loadbank to test the 675 kW capacity data centre . We made sure it was commissioned quickly to test the capabilities of the on-site power and cooling system so the operator could confirm the accreditation . We undertook the testing in stages : a 500 kW UPS system , cooling system and two 1000 kVA generators . We worked in close partnership with the data centre to get it all done in time . �
