By their nature, edge data centres can be in remote locations away from your core IT system. This makes remote monitoring essential to manage the uptime and efficiency of systems – particularly for critical

There are several essential requirements when it comes to designing data centres: power, cooling and network connectivity. It’s vital to ensure that your power supply is stable and sufficient and will

Data centres and networking are at the heart of the modern university. Effective IT planning and wise investment in infrastructure can help universities to address many of the challenges they face. Adopting an edge-based approach means many institutions can deliver better services to students and staff, helping them to stay ahead of the global competition.

The challenges faced by higher education

The global nature of today's higher education (HE) market puts pressure on institutions to deliver an even better working environment for their staff and students. The rise of Big Data and High Process Computing across all fields of research are increasing the demands on creaking IT infrastructure. There are also physical challenges such as space constraints and energy efficiency

If you're here, then you're wondering, what is a generator? And why do I need one for my business? First of all, what is a diesel generator? A diesel generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. In the event of a power failure, the generator is there to support your essential systems, for up to 72 hours. But how do you know if a generator is right for you? The main purpose of a diesel generator is to supply long-term backup power. If you have systems that you can't afford to down for a long period of time, then a generator is right for you. Different size generators can be provided depending on how much power your business needs.

The manufacturing sector is getting more and more competitive, requiring factories to be working 24/7. This means any downtime can be devastating for hitting targets and meeting demand. Lots of factories fail to have backup power in place, but many more lack sufficient backups for if a power failure happens. This can be down to a wide variety of reasons, from budgetary constraints to lack of understanding of what will be required when the power goes out. For many businesses, the simple fact that it has never happened means the risk doesn't exist. However, power cuts are becoming more and more common. An increasing demand, combined with ageing infrastructure has lead to a power deficit. It is more important than ever to have a backup power solution in place for your manufacturing plant than ever before. It is no good having your data centre running if your production line grinds to a halt. No matter what type of facility you are managing a thorough plan should be in place to deal with power outages of all types - from a matter of seconds to hours or days. If you have yet to plan for a power failure, here are a few tips you may want to consider:

1. To begin with, you need a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) or group of UPSs (Uninterruptible Power Supplies) capable of supporting the whole load long enough for it to be safely turned off, rather than the production line abruptly stopping as soon as the power goes out. This will not only protect the equipment from damage but will also ensure the integrity of any product that does have to be completed in a single run of production.
2. Once short-term disruptions have been mitigated, you should look to solving longer power cuts. A generator specified to your power requirements should be sourced. This will allow you to run your facility regardless of the of the length of the power cut, avoiding downtime altogether.
3. The often forgotten, but no less important step of backup power is maintenance and system monitoring. There is no point in having all these systems in place if they fail when you need them. A maintenance
