Utlising worldwide points of presence (POP)
Cloudserve utlises multiple data
centre facilities acting as points of presence (POPs) to
serve local regions with the lowest possible latency
services. Currently we utilise 4 data centres in the UK and US,
with full redundancy between sites using the latest virtualisation
technologies.
We utilise Tier 4 carrier neutral data centres that have minimum
specs as follows:
Commercial Power
•Two separate power feeds provided
•Power supplied from two separate substations. Four transformers at
3,750 KVA each.
•Four PDUs (power distribution units) each having primary and
backup.
•CPS (continuous power supply) that serves each data room
(N+1).
Generator
•Building can operate at 100%
connected load on five HiTecs and two standby generators.
•Six PowerWave 'state-of-the-art' UPS systems continuously
generating power for N+1 redundancy.
•The PowerWave system feeds redundant switchgear providing power to
mission critical loads.
•Two 2-megawatt standby generators serve facility essential loads.
N+1 capacity.
•One 2-megawatt stationary load bank, for bypass testing and duty
cycle maintenance.
DC Power System
•1600 AMP redundant DC battery system.
Diesel Fuel Supply
•20,000 gallons on-site. Facility is on the emergency fuel
list.
HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning)
•3,350 tons total refrigeration capacity with N+2 redundancy (5
chillers at 670 tons each).
•30-ton CRAC (Computer Room Air Conditioner) units inside our data
room.
•Five cooling towers
•Five chilled water pumps
•Five condenser water pumps
•Five chemical treatment stations
Fire Suppression
•Dry pipe, pre-action system
enabled by activation of VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Alarm)
and / or smoke detectors. Loss of air pressure in the pipes caused
by a broken sprinkler head will cause water to discharge only if
smoke detection is present. The system is monitored 24x7 by onsite
personnel.
