After the expansion of a larger power connection we also needed to expand our UPS.
Luckily our UPS is modular and the Eaton engineers can easy slide an extra module in the UPS.
Our new UPS power capacity is 120kW or 80kW N+1.

Today we had maintenance on our cooling units. Since we have a redundant setup there was no impact on the temperature on the data-floor.
All units were checked and are running perfectly.

Due to the rapid grow of the IT needs of our customers we needed to expand our power connection. For this expansion a new heavy power cable was needed. This cable runs directly from our building to the transformer-building.
With the new power cable in place we are able to provide 3 times more power then before. Enough to power our complete datacenter at 100% load.

Today five years ago the first server was installed at our data center. Since then a lot has changed. We went from a Tier 1 data center to a Tier3 data center. Also we have now many more equipment hosted at our data center.
The next picture shows our data-room in 2011 VS Now.

It did take some time but finally our emergency power generator is ready for use.
The power generator is capable to takeover automatically when the power grid fails. It takes only 15 seconds and the generator is fully started.

Bright Acces is currently working on installing additional fibers to our datacenter. Via Brightacces we get extra redundancy in our internet portfolio. We can also deliver other services via the Brightaccess fibers like dark-fiber or other related ethernet products (like connecting to Brightaccess connected businesses).

With the arrival of the power generator we must upgrade some parts of our power network.
First, we installed a new UPS bypass panel. The new panel has a higher power capacity.
Next we installed a ATS (automatic transfer switch) which will select between the normal power grid and emergency generator.

For our colocation and rack-space customers we launched a free new panel with the following features:
- Domain DNS
- Domain forwarding / parking
- MX mail backup
- White-label
Every existing customer can use this service for free. An account for this panel can be created via our "bestel systeem".

The old MGE Galaxy 5000 UPS is replaced with a brand new Eaton 93pm UPS. The Eaton 93pm is more efficient and that means less co2 emissions and a lower PUE ratio.
We equipped the new UPS with 2 power modules creating a N+1 environment. If one of the power modules fails, the other can take over the complete load.
