Nothing stops your heart quicker than the fear your data is gone! A hardware failure, even the loss of your electronic phonebook or calendar can keep you off balance for days. Only proactive action can provide recovery from this crisis. Redundancy, data backups and data recovery are the guarantee that your business will never be off balance due to data loss. Since 2003, Telx has successfully provided data center services with 100% uptime on our overall power and cooling systems. That’s redundancy we can all be excited about.
Telx’s C³ Cloud Connection Centers™ provide the structural integrity and redundant power and cooling infrastructure required for a secure, reliable and effective networking and computing environment. 480V power feeds are distributed throughout Telx C³ data centers, along with UPS systems supported by gel cell batteries capable of providing full-load power in case of commercial power failure. If the commercial power fails, our redundancy control systems will switch to generator power within 20 seconds. In addition, the generator system is designed with an override capability that enables manual activation of the generators.
The generator system can provide a full load of power for at least 48 hours. Telx maintains a fuel reserve for an additional 24-36 hours, depending on the type of C³ data center. We also maintain contracts with fuel suppliers to refill the tanks within a 4-hour window.
We practice what we preach!
Telx C³ Cloud Connection Centers™ participate regularly in tests with local power companies to prove they can remove their load from the power grid, if required – usually during the summer months when the grid is stressed with heavy power use. These tests help Telx technicians ensure that they’re prepared at a moment’s notice to quickly and safely handle the deployment of the redundant systems whenever the flow of power is interrupted. Telx’s commitment to protecting your data earned them a finalist spot in the 2010 Uptime Institute Green Enterprise IT competition.
