The data center has no wooden or frame construction, and electrical system has multiple layers for fire protection.
The Kansas data center is a reliable and fault tolerant N+1 power infrastructure. The 1.2 MW of 480V AC power is served to the data center by Kansas City Power & Light (KCP&L). The data center also benefits from green energy that uses 25 kVA solar power systems providing as much as 20% of daytime power load and up to 10% of total power load. The entire critical infrastructure is protected by N+1 UPS system on the loss of utility power. The emergency power to data center is provided by 500 kVA diesel generators in N+1 redundancy in case of prolonged power outage. The data center has 1,500 gallons of fuel storage tanks sufficient for 300 hours of runtime, and is tested weekly and exercised for 2 hours weekly. The data center delivers both AC and DC power options through redundant A+B power feed to each cabinet. The A/B DC power plant is capable of 600 Amps of -48V DC based on Loran rectifier system, and is supported by a dedicated 100 kVA diesel generator. The data center supports higher power densities up to 300 watts per square feet, and typically include up to 30 Amps power in full cabinet. The data center is protected by whole building surge suppression system with over 20 lightning rods on the property and massive grounding system. The data center has green passive cooling and venting system with N+1 HVAC units effectively controlling the temperature and humidity levels.
