Backup Commercial Power:
Main AC power to the server facility is delivered by two separate commercial power feeds from two entirely different power systems into a massive power switcher system. These redundant power feeds are automatically switched from one power feed to the other, in case of a failure. This is to insure that if one power system goes down the other will be still be on line, and usable. The chances of both commercial power feeds going down at the same time is unimaginable.

UPS Backup Power:
In the unlikely event of both of these commercial power feeds going down at the same time, the facility also has a hugh Liebert UPS back up power system. This system with it's associated batteries, chargers, control panels, and power conditioning units, etc., is very large, and is housed in a special room, with a cement floor. Each individual UPS unit is mounted on it's own concrete mounting platform. This hugh UPS system has the ability to supply power to the entire 80,000 sq. ft. server facility, at full load, for one hour without any outside power source. This state of the art power conditioning system, (UPS), is on line all the time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, ready for backup if needed.

Diesel Generator Backup Power:
To further supply power, a backup diesel generator system is in place. While the UPS will continue to supply power during a power failure, these diesel generators automatically start up. There are multiple 1.8 MegaWatt 16 cylinder Caterpillar generators on site. There is a 50,000 gallon supply of diesel fuel on site, in a small fully secured, tank farm outside. There is a water pool and water tank system, in the tank farm, to keep the diesel tanks cooled down should the need arise. Outside fuel suppliers are also on standby to supply additional fuel, should more fuel be needed. The 50,000 gallon diesel fuel supply stored in the tanks on site, is constantly being circulated through the entire fuel system to eliminate algae growth in the fuel. A triple fuel filter system, (primary, secondary, and backup secondary), is used to insure the very cleanest fuel supply possible to the generator fuel injectors. There are enough of these 1.8 MegaWatt 16 cylinder Caterpillar generators, (10), on site, to pull the entire power load of the facility with two generators as spares on standby. These generators are housed in a separate, well ventilated, modern, generator building. Regular generator maintenance is performed each week. Each one of these generators is tested by running the generators one by one, and thoroughly checking each one's performance.
