Boston (BSN) is a reliable and fault tolerant N+1 power infrastructure with concurrently maintainable power system. The power to the data center is delivered through redundant power feeds by nStar utility. The entire critical infrastructure is protected by 4 x 750 kVA and 4 x 500 kVA Liebert parallel UPS system in N+1 redundancy on power failure. The secondary power is provided by 2 x 1.5 MW and 3 x 2MW Caterpillar diesel generators onsite. The DC battery bank provides 20 minutes of backup time on full load. The cooling and humidity in the data center is maintained by glycol cooling units in N+1 configuration. The hot aisle, cold aisle separation and passive cooling solutions maximize cooling efficiencies.
