UPS systems for data centres
When selecting a UPS system for your data centre four key considerations are:
1. Availability
2. Cost – both capital and total life costs
3. Physical space
4. Energy consumption – both in terms of limitations of supply and energy efficiencies
Availability and your data centre UPS system
In today’s 24/7 society data centre downtime is not an option. Even the best data centre UPS systems need regular maintenance to ensure maximum system availability. Chloride has the largest dedicated critical power supply service network in the country and leading remote monitoring and diagnostics technology to ensure maximum uptime in your data centre.
Installing a superior data centre UPS system can cut costs
In addition to providing superior data centre UPS systems our sales support and projects staff can give expert advice on the optimum UPS system design for your specific data centre – in many cases decreasing capital investment and total life costs and increasing potential revenue.

Data centre UPS systems with small footprints for compact solutions
Virtualisation of servers means more computing power can be squeezed into each square foot of data centre space, but this means you need to increase the capacity of your UPS system. The products in Chloride’s three-phase UPS system range have some of the smallest footprints in the industry and with exceptional input and output power factors (without the need for additional, bulky, active filters) they can maximise the uninterrupted power capacity per square foot of your data centre.
Minimising energy wastage in data centre UPS systems
In the current climate selecting an energy efficient UPS system for your data centre makes sense. Energy bills represent a huge percentage of monthly outgoings and a difference of a few percentage points in efficiency can amount to £000’s over the course of a year. All of Chloride’s three-phase UPS systems boast exceptional efficiencies, even in online double conversion mode under 50% load. This combined with Chloride’s revolutionary UPS system design can result in highly significant cost-savings, a major factor in Node4’s decision to select Chloride UPS systems to protect their latest data centre in Wakefield.
Beyond the UPS system itself
Chloride offers more than just UPS systems. We believe in working with our customers to achieve the optimum system for their data centre; understanding their specific requirements and priorities and seeking to exceed their expectations.
To achieve this goal Chloride offers the full solution including system design, installation, commissioning and ongoing maintenance. We also offer a wide range of products including diesel generators, batteries, fuel cells and flywheels to provide a single point of contact for your data centre's entire critical power infrastructure.
