Always on Power
Dual 11kV High-Voltage Grid Connections
Our Continuity House data centre is powered by two independent 11kV high-voltage connections to the national grid, providing robust resilience against external power interruptions.
Triple Independent Power Streams
Each 11kV feed is routed into three separate incoming power rooms: Red, Blue and Grey, each equipped with its own cast resin transformer. These step down the voltage from 11,000V to 415V, supplying our substations and linking directly to our onsite diesel generators. The facility can operate at full capacity using just two of the three power streams, ensuring uninterrupted service even during maintenance or faults.
Three 1.3MW Diesel Backup Generators
To safeguard against any loss of mains power, we operate three onsite 1.3MW diesel generators. With 72 hours of fuel stored locally and priority refuelling agreements in place, we are fully prepared to maintain continuous operation during extended grid outages.
Power Protection and Distribution
Six Legrand KeorMod UPS Systems
Power to our racks is protected by six ultra-efficient Legrand KeorMod UPS systems, configured in an N+1 arrangement. These systems regulate and stabilise voltage to downstream IT equipment, conditioning the mains supply and providing battery-backed power in the event of a mains failure, seamlessly bridging the gap until our generators come online.
Static Transfer Switch (STS) Backed Distribution Boards
Rack power distribution is delivered through our custom PDU’s, each drawing from two separate power streams. Equipped with Socomec static transfer switches, these units can automatically transfer critical loads between AC power sources during a fault or maintenance, without any interruption to equipment.
Dual Power Feeds to Every Rack
Each rack is connected to two independent distribution boards positioned on opposite sides of the datacentre. This dual-feed design ensures that dual-corded equipment receives power from separate sources, further enhancing resilience and uptime.
Security and Fire Protection
Fire Suppression with VESDA Detection
Our entire datacentre is safeguarded by a fire suppression system utilising inert gas IG55, ensuring that any detected fire is quickly extinguished without damaging equipment. Detection is enhanced by a VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus) system, providing rapid identification and alerting at the earliest signs of smoke.
Access Control and CCTV Monitoring
All entry points are secured with a secure access control system and an anti-tailgating airlock, featuring biometric authentication for authorised access. All visits must be pre-arranged, with visitor movements logged throughout the building and monitored via extensive CCTV coverage.
24/7/365 Onsite Staffing
Our onsite teams are present 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, continuously monitoring not only our security systems but also our critical power and network infrastructure.
