Power density
With robust heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, Equinix IBX data centres exceed the requirements of even the most power-hungry deployments.
Our IBX data centre power systems, designed and managed by some of the world’s foremost experts on power management engineering, include built-in redundancy, full Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems with N+1 redundancy levels or greater, and backup generator systems in the event of a local utility failure. Equinix teams also work with customers to configure data centre installations to accommodate specific high-power requirements.
Our precision HVAC systems cool the most demanding high-power deployments, providing appropriate airflow, temperature, and humidity to maintain optimum conditions for equipment operation and minimise downtime due to equipment failure. Equinix sells AC and DC power in all regions (AC circuit voltage varies by region).
