Aggreko Teams Collaborate to Protect Mission-critical Data Center

The customer challenge

Keeping a data center up and running is serious business. After all, the stakes are high. For one facility that processes major commercial and retail transactions, an estimated 200 million dollars of loss would occur for every 10 minutes of system downtime. Even a brief failure can make national news. 

When the company began construction of a new data center, it required temporary cooling and power for its existing facility along with an extremely high level of redundancy and foolproof contingency plans to ensure the non-stop availability of its systems. Aggreko was their choice to make it all happen.

The Aggreko solution

Because of the project’s critical and high-profile nature, teams from Aggreko Cooling Tower Services and Aggreko Process Services worked together to design and run the project.

Aggreko proposed a system that included 3 x1000 ton chillers, 3 x 1000ton cooling towers, and 3 -1250kW generators. A complete standby system was also set up onsite so that in the event of an equipment failure, Aggreko could change out any piece of equipment in a matter of minutes.

Thanks to Aggreko’s in-depth expertise and equipment reliability, plus the careful planning and teamwork among diverse Aggreko teams, the data center’s operations continued uninterrupted throughout the project.
