Power distribution
When building a colocation datacenter it's always unsure what the power demand of each customer will be.
We've chosen to create (small) power build-outs of 500kW.
This approach gives us the opportunity to adjust the equipment to the power demand.
It makes setup easy to manage. For example if there should be a failure, impact will be low and easy to repair.
UPS’s like the APC Symmetra PX 500 deliver a very good power efficiency and can easily be scaled by our employees.
The UPS distributes the power to the PDPM, the PDPM then redistributes the power to the customers racks according to there power demand.
Each feed is properly fused and measured with a built-in kilowatt/hour meter.
DCO² delivers a PDU in each rack, depending on the choice of the client to distribute power to the servers.
Actions on "live" parts of the power distribution are done "tool-less", minimizing impact on reliability.
Each month a full thermal scan is done on the infrastructure. This prevents weak points in the power distribution.
