All have automatic backup systems and constantly maintained service schedules to optimal operating condition. Power is available in most common voltages, including DC.

  • 12.5 MW of utility power
  • Spare 3.75MW transformer on site
  • 250 watts/sq.ft.
  • N+1 power through 4 autonomous power plants
  • Four (4) backup diesel generators on standby
  • Generators tested bi-weekly and routinely run at full load
  • Multiple voltages available including 110v, 208v, and three phase 208v
  • Onsite staff constantly inspect and monitor power equipment

Each of Colo4’s facilities operates autonomous plants to deliver true A/B redundancy. All service entrances from the utility provider utilize diverse transformers; automatic transfer switches (ATS), UPS, generators and PDUs. Our highly reliable automated backup systems ensure constant, uninterrupted power to your equipment. Colo4 data centers were designed to run high density applications: we currently have multiple customers with applications running 8,000+ watts per cabinet. Our power systems configuration allows flexibility and helps ensure optimal utilization of floor space. We also guarantee uptime by offering a 100% SLA for customers who utilize feeds from diverse plants.

We utilize many PDUs, ranging from 100KVA to 300KVA. We offer PDUs that provide branch circuit monitoring, allowing us to continuously monitor power. All the UPS systems keep equipment powered seamlessly, preventing resets while generators kick in. Our redundant feeds come from separate service entrances, ATS, generator, UPS and PDUs eliminating any single point of failure causing a customer outage.
