Platform Housing is one of the largest housing associations in the Midlands, managing over 48,000 homes across a vast geographical range. From Herefordshire in the West to the Lincolnshire coast in the East, and from the Derbyshire Dales in the North to the Cotswolds in the South, Platform Housing is a major key player in providing quality housing solutions to a large variety and diverse range of communities.
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.
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.

“We now have confidence that our business continuity has total independent autonomy,
whatever the external conditions throw at us – That’s good for us, but ultimately good for our customers.”
