Reliable and resilient power supply in our data centers
Our data centers are designed to ensure maximum electrical continuity, even in the event of an incident. Discover how we combine redundancy, generators, and UPS to protect your equipment and keep your services running.
Why does a data center consume so much electricity?
Data centers operate continuously to host and process huge volumes of data 24/7. This constant activity generates a lot of heat, which requires efficient cooling systems to maintain servers at an optimal temperature.
These cooling systems can account for up to 40% of the total energy consumption of a data center. To measure energy efficiency, an indicator called Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE)Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) is a metric that compares the total electricity consumption to that used only by the servers. The closer the PUE is to 1, the more energy-efficient the data center is.

Electricity at the heart of the continuity of your services
The electrical architecture of a data center like DC2SCALE is based on a multi-layer design ensuring maximum availability.
Redundant connections to medium voltage networks supply transformers and low voltage switchboards. The infrastructure includes inverters (UPS) in N+1 or 2N configuration for instant transition in case of failure, complemented by generators providing extended autonomy.
Smart PDUs distribute power to the racks, while a DCIM system monitors consumption in real time and optimizes PUE. Compliant with Tier III or IV standards, this design ensures electrical availability of 99.99% and protects your critical services against any interruptions.

Main components of a data center's electrical system
Alimentation principale et redondance
- High Voltage Transformer
- TGBT
Les datacenters intègrent des systèmes de redondance tels que N+1 ou 2N, garantissant une alimentation continue même en cas de défaillance d'un composant.
Générateurs de secours
- Generator
Les générateurs prennent le relais en cas de défaillance prolongée de l'alimentation principale, assurant une continuité énergétique jusqu'au rétablissement du réseau.
Onduleurs (UPS - Uninterruptible Power Supply)
- Inverters
- UPS
- Baterías
Les UPS fournissent une alimentation sans interruption lors de coupures de courant, protégeant les équipements sensibles contre les fluctuations de tension.
Distribution en salle informatique
- Power Distribution Unit
Les PDU distribuent l'électricité aux racks et équipements, avec les modèles intelligents permettant une surveillance en temps réel de la consommation énergétique.
