Data centre emergencies and contingency planning
We help data centers proactively plan for emergencies and respond fast when disaster strikes, anywhere in the world
We understand that data centers are mission-critical environments. A breakdown of power or cooling has disastrous consequences – whether you’re a small, independent data center or one of the world’s biggest hyperscalers.
We provide backup critical infrastructure components and tailored contingency plans to maintain server protection and ensure continuity. All are carefully adapted to your infrastructure, data center age, environmental conditions, and known risks.
Our data center solutions for emergencies enable you to:
- Implement redundant power and cooling without the CAPEX
- Improve your response and recovery times
- Deal with equipment failure to maintain availability
- Prepare for disasters in a way that’s sustainable and affordable

Temporary power supply, HVAC, and dehumidification for any data center emergency
- Backup power generation and electrical distribution, stored on-site and ready to use in the event of an emergency or issue with your prime power source. Always implemented with your load, legacy equipment, budget, and sustainability needs in mind.
- Temporary generators delivered at short notice in the event of an emergency–from efficient diesel generators to sustainable natural gas and dual-fuel generators. With generators ranging in size from 20kVa to 2100kVa and a load-on-demand set-up to meet fluctuating power demand, our engineers will get you set up with a portable and scalable power generation solution. All with robust testing and a modular design that lets you scale up or down as required.
- HVAC, cooling, heating, and dehumidification to help you maintain the optimal operating conditions for your data center when a fault in your usual equipment occurs. Our industrial chillers range from 50kW to 1500kW, and we provide heat exchangers, air handlers, cooling towers, and air conditioners in a wide range of sizes and types of modular units.
