Every hardworking Data Centre – and the electrical designers tasked with optimizing performance – are faced with the challenge of increasing power availability.

You may already be familiar with Tier Levels and the objective of increasing the number of “nines” through redundancy, protection, hot maintainability or the presence of different power sources.

To manage alternate power sources, however, requires a transfer system that is easy to use whilst providing high quality power to critical loads such as servers or cooling systems.

In this document you will find a case study analysis that demonstrates how protection and transfer have been managed and optimized in order to improve continuity of service.
