What kind of redundancy measures are in place to prevent a single point of failure?
All of the critical data center elements have more than one source. For example, there are multiple electric power feeds that are independent from the building. Several large sized UPS equipment (160 kVA each) and generator sets (460 kVA each) can sustain data center power in the unlikely event that all electrical substation feeds are down. There are two dedicated separate power sources entering customers’ server racks, coupled with a circuit breaker to prevent any electrical short circuits to surrounding racks. 11.
