Electrical Supply

Externally the facility is supplied by diverse routes from a main electricity board substation This power supply can provide us with up to 1.3MW. Two transformers in the Energy Centre allow provision of n+1 capability. A 2 MW Generator with a weeks supply of fuel provides full capability to sustain long power outages and UPS in n+1 mode will provides power to sustain load until the generator starts up as well as ensuring a clean electrical supply.

Fire Detection and Suppression

A full VESDA system that provides early detection of smoke is in place so that any potential fire is detected before it can develop. In the extremely unlikely event that a fire does develop a FM200 fire suppression system will be in place.

Air Conditioning

The air conditioning in the facility is provided by under floor cooling by in room air handling units, the air flow directed appropriately by grilles in the floor. The capacity of the equipment is such that a failure of one unit can be handled by the other units.

Network Connectivity

Matrix provides fast, reliable network connectivity at a sensible price.

Security

The new facility is based on Manchester Technology Park which has guards on site 24 hrs a day with offsite backup to deal with any major event. CCTV cameras, motion detection and a “key fob” access system will ensure a high level of security with multiple layers of defence.
