Innovative solutions for uninterrupted power supply for data centers

A data center is used for storing, processing, and distributing data, as well as supporting IT infrastructures. Data centers house servers, storage systems, network components, and other IT devices that are essential for the operation of businesses, organizations, and Internet services.

How are data centers powered?

Data centers are typically connected to the public power grid, which provides the primary supply and is normally used as the first source of power. In the event of a power failure or disruption in the public power supply, backup generators come into play. Zeppelin Power Systems has extensive expertise in the construction of turnkey emergency power systems for data centers and is your reliable partner.

Emergency generators, also known as backup power units, serve as a backup power supply for data centers and are used to ensure a continuous power supply during outages in the public grid. These generators are usually automatically activated as soon as a power interruption is detected and can supply the data center with electricity until the main power supply is restored.

Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a key component in data centers, designed to maintain a continuous power supply during power failures or other disruptions. A UPS consists of batteries that automatically take over in the event of a power failure, providing electricity to the critical loads of the data center until the backup generator is activated or the main power grid becomes available again.

Why is a reliable power supply so important for data centers?

Continuous Operation

Data centers must operate continuously to ensure the availability of services and data for users. Any interruption in the power supply can lead to downtime, which can impact productivity and result in financial losses.

Data Security and Integrity

A continuous power flow is critical for the security and integrity of the data stored in a data center. Interruptions or power outages can lead to data loss or damage to data storage, which can have serious consequences for businesses and organizations.

Operation of Critical Systems

Data centers often host critical systems and applications that must run continuously to support business-critical functions. These include, for example, financial transactions, communication services, medical records, and many other applications that require uninterrupted power supply.

Continuous Operation of Cooling and Climate Systems

Data centers generate large amounts of heat due to the activities of servers and other electronic devices. An uninterrupted power supply ensures that the cooling and climate systems of the data center can continue to operate during power outages or fluctuations, maintaining optimal operating temperatures and preventing overheating.
