Applying Generators to Data Center Systems Part 1

Your data center is the lifeblood of your company. In fact, over time, I believe that every computer in the office or at home will become a virtual data center.

When the data center goes down, your company immediately starts losing money. Whether your data center malfunctions, services are no longer available, or your business is no longer able to access customer information due to a data center outage, it can cause huge losses.

Therefore, it is crucial to proactively plan for data center power outages, create and document formal plans, and have immediate on-site and remote access. Not having a formal plan may bring high costs to your business and daily operations. Every minute a data center shuts down, businesses lose a significant amount of funds. In today's era, almost no enterprise can afford to have their data centers shut down for extended periods of time.

In addition, communication channels need to be unobstructed throughout the entire command chain. Although it is not recommended to immediately communicate service interruptions to your customers, all employees should be aware of the correct communication protocol to communicate to external customers during power outages.

No matter how self-sufficient your data center is, it still relies on the State Grid. On the contrary, the power grid relies on many above ground and underground power lines. These wires located at different nodes are always susceptible to power outages. For example, a car accident 8 kilometers away may cause your data center to lose power for several hours, resulting in a significant loss of money for your business.

By careful planning, you can implement some strategies during the design phase of data center construction to minimize downtime and effectively respond to unexpected power outages. The design of data centers should always consider optional backup power sources in the event of power outages. Whether your power outage plan includes battery systems or on-site power generation, these options should be considered during the initial planning and design phase of the data center.

Backup power provides data center operators with peace of mind as they know that in the event of a power outage, when utility companies find ways to restore power to your enterprise, temporary independent power sources can be used to keep the data center running.

Deciding which backup power solution is suitable for your enterprise depends on the power requirements of each data center, local laws, and your company's budget. Each alternative power supply option has its advantages and operating time limitations. In order to make the right decision, you must balance the cost of increasing redundancy with the cost of data center downtime. In addition, due to the accelerating development of emerging technologies, data center design should be scalable and adaptable to current and future growth needs.
