Our Tailored UPS Maintenance Packages For Data Centres

Power outages at data centres are more common than many people realise. They can be caused by a number of different factors, one of which is software failure, another being severe weather conditions.

Whatever the cause, it’s vital to have preventative maintenance carried out on your uninterruptible power supply to avoid the nightmare of a power failure.

A power failure can not only mean unwanted downtime but also a loss of revenue and the pressure of extra expenditures. It can also cause a great deal of stress for your staff. In other words, the consequences can be severe.

To reduce the risk of a power failure, it can help to use a dedicated UPS maintenance service provider like Source UPS Ltd.

It’s vital to continually assess the resilience of your system, receiving regular servicing of all your equipment, including the cooling system, batteries and generator. Ideally you need real-time information about the data centre, so you can detect any problems before they get worse.

Prevention is always better than a cure. 

Although no facility is completely risk-free, consistent monitoring of your components will make all the difference.

Source UPS offer highly competitive packages that include generator, cooling system and UPS maintenance for data centres in the UK.

The most important role of any data centre is to keep the mission-critical applications it hosts running. Source UPS has a proactive team that’s always ready to detect any failures and correct them before there’s any disruptions.

We can help to prevent a UPS system failure.

Our services include monitoring your UPS batteries and keeping you posted on their condition. We can also perform impedance testing and always use the best battery maintenance techniques.

Cybercrime can also cause power outages so it’s also vital to keep your security system up to date.

Regular training of the staff at your data centre is also vital. Human error is another reason that power can fail. Our qualified experts should monitor, maintain and manage the power and data centre infrastructure to minimise downtime.

Like the batteries and cooling system, generators in data centres are vital for ensuring continuous power supply during outages. 

Although generator failures account for a small amount of faults, it’s still essential to inspect vital components and switch gear regularly. Preventative maintenance is key.

Regular maintenance is essential to keep them in optimal condition, and it’s important to have frequent checks for any leaks, corrosion or visible damage. In particular, experts like our team at Source UPS can examine the belts, hoses, and connections for wear and tear.

Load testing is another important part of running a data centre. 

Periodically testing the generator under load conditions ensures it can handle the required power demands during an actual outage. Along with carrying out such testing, our team can check and change the oil, fuel, coolant and other fluids is crucial for optimal generator performance.

We will also check your batteries for corrosion, ensuring proper connections and replacing them when necessary is essential to ensure the generator starts when needed.

Our services include fuel polishing, which involves filtration and purification of fuel used to power backup generators or uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems.

Data centres often have backup power systems that rely on diesel generators or similar fuel-based systems to ensure continuous operation in case of a power outage. However, the fuel stored for these generators can degrade over time due to factors like microbial growth, water accumulation, and particulate contamination.

This degraded fuel can lead to equipment malfunction or failure when used, potentially causing disruptions during critical power events.

Fuel polishing involves the use of specialised filtration and purification systems to remove impurities, water, and contaminants from the stored fuel. By doing so, it helps maintain the quality of the fuel, ensuring that the backup power systems remain reliable and effective during emergencies.

Regular fuel polishing is a type of preventive maintenance.

Through this type of servicing, our experts can guarantee the readiness and reliability of your backup power systems. It helps mitigate the risks associated with degraded fuel, ensuring that the data centre can continue to function seamlessly during power outages or disruptions.

Source UPS also delivers maintenance of cooling systems to prevent them overheating. 

This includes inspecting coolant levels, radiator cleanliness, and ensuring proper ventilation.

Our professional service technicians deliver comprehensive maintenance and servicing at recommended intervals helps in detecting and addressing issues early.

Enjoy the most professional servicing for your data centre in the UK. 

By carrying out maintenance on your generators, we can help ensure they remain reliable and ready to provide backup power whenever needed. With our regular, proactive maintenance, the risk of downtime is significantly reduced and we can ensure the continuity of operations during power outages.
