Protective data centre efficiency
Manx Telecom required a resilient power protection solution to support its co-located, Tier 3 data centre facility, which is used to service its customers.
The primary provider of broadband and telecommunications on the Isle of Man, Manx Telecom has invested over £110m in the island’s infrastructure in the last decade. The company provides 24/7 support through its call centre and network operations centre and serves a business helpdesk to over 4000 businesses.
The solution and results
As the largest full telecoms, IT and communications service provider on the Isle of Man, Manx Telecom required a resilient power protection solution to support its co-located, Tier 3 data centre facility, which is used to service its customers.
Working on behalf of the UK’s leading independent engineering, IT and facilities services business, NG Bailey, Power Control supplied and installed two high efficiency Borri B9000FXS 300kVA UPS systems.
Chosen to work in complete harmony with other equipment and for their best in class performance, efficiency and build quality, the Borri B9000FXS UPS systems were FAT tested and installed within an impressive five week period- on time and in budget.
To ensure that one UPS system always remains operative in the unlikely event of a UPS failure, the B9000FXS UPS units were installed in a parallel redundant configuration, achieving a fully redundant system.
By selecting a UPS solution that complements the other electrical equipment on site, Manx Telecom has benefited from substantial efficiency savings. This coupled with the added efficiency gains from the UPS technology itself has meant that further savings have been achieved through an up to 50% reduction in generator size.
"This was a very prestigious project for Power Control and we as a company were privileged to be fully involved throughout the process. We provided relevant technical information at the design stage through to successful contract award. This was followed with the onsite presence of our own engineers for positioning, full battery build, commissioning and load bank testing, whilst working closely with the contractors involved to a tight deadline."
