Power

The blue and orange units are used to house the power and networking feeds that enter the data halls from opposite ends of the building. 

The datacentre is powered by a 1.4MW uninterruptible power supply (UPS) but it also has a dedicated 18MVA electricity sub-station based on site as a backup.
