A leading colocation provider encountered a power issue, when they found that they would not be able to connect a data centre they were developing for a client in Dublin until several months after the site was due to come online. Rather than delay construction on such a vital facility until the grid caught up, the customer chose to find a bridging power supply that could support the site until the connection was available.

As this could take several months, the supply needed to be reliable enough to hit data centre tier requirements, use green technology that could meet with stringent EU standards on both emissions and noise, and be able to ramp up its power load as the date centre became fully active
