The transformer equipment of our data centres is supplied by a ring-shaped connection to the medium voltage grid of Düsseldorf public services. Even in case of an outage in one electrical connection, this form of connection still ensures a supply of electricity from the grid of the energy supplier.

In the event that a power outage occurs anyway, pre-heated diesel generators are immediately activated and supply the battery-buffered UPS systems present in every data centre area with power again. This guarantees the power supply for the infrastructures of our customers at all times. Through stockpiles of diesel fuel and agreements with suppliers, even longer-lasting power failures can be overcome, without any interruptions to the power supply of the data centre.

A building management system ensures that all infrastructure systems, such as air conditioning, power supply and security systems are monitored and controlled. On top of that a second, independent system checks all the relevant parameters and notifies our technicians and service providers promptly in case of errors.
