To ensure reliability, air temperature and humidity levels are continuously monitored and controlled. We utilize redundant cooling systems (N+1). To protect equipment and data, NWRDC is equipped with two 1000kW generators and one 500 kW generator that can run at full capacity for weeks with emergency refueling as needed. Multiple redundant UPS systems (N+1) totaling 1500 KVA condition the electrical power to the raised floor area. Each server enclosure is powered by 2 electrical circuits from diverse PDUs. Smoke detection and fire suppression systems protect the 9600+ sq. ft. raised data center floor. Entry to the data center floor only available via a pre-approved list. Approved visitors must present a photo ID and sign in for access.
