Platform Housing Group Power Requirements

With the launch of their brand new purpose-built administration offices and data centre located in Worcester, Platform Housing had approached Computer Power Protection (CPP) to assess the feasibility of implementing a generator to back up their critical data centre operations.

Challenges

Computer Power Protection (CPP) identified that the data centre together with air conditioning equipment were at risk of closing down during a prolonged power outage. Mark Trafford at CPP carefully calculated the requirements and correctly sized a 165kVA generator to meet all of Platform Housing’s present goals and support all of their future requirements.
