ABB is keeping the power on at Safe Host’s data center
Medium-voltage switchgear solution
Switzerland
Challenge
Safe Host's built a new data center in Gland - the largest carrier-neutral colocation facility in the country with 14,400 m2 capacity. The facility is designed to host the most mission critical computer systems, with fully redundant subsystems. The data center must have the ability to continuously operate at all times, even during primary power outages. They were looking for an energy-efficient solution that would ensure that power could be distributed without any interruptions and a solution that had extension capability.
Solution
To ensure that power is distributed without any interruptions and to meet Safe Host's requirement of an energy-efficient and greener choice, ABB's solution is built on the air-insulated UniSec switchgear, equipped with vacuum circuit breakers, current and voltage combi-sensors, and Relion® protection relays.
Outcome
ABB provided a reliable and energy-efficient power distribution solution to safeguard the distribution of power and ensure uptime at the largest data center in Switzerland.
The readily adaptable and innovative solution takes full advantage of ABB’s sensor technology to maximize uptime and bring considerable energy savings.
