An Asian-based major co-location data centre (DC) network operator was entering the mid-phase of construction of its new data centre in Pune, India.

To ensure the resilience and quality of its equipment, testing and commissioning of its power supply equipment such as generators, UPS system and batteries were essential.

These components play an important role toward the uptime of its operations, but they needed a turnkey load-testing solution that could operate safely and effectively in a volatile and adapting construction environment.

The data centre operator’s customer, which is one of the world’s largest technology companies, had leased out a substantial number of server rooms within the new data centre for its IT infrastructure.

When the time came to discuss potential solution providers, Aggreko were the preferred choice. The customer demanded the best-in-class load-testing services in the industry to ensure that their new equipment was operational to deal with unexpected scenarios and contingencies. This is all the more critical when they are operating in a location where grid infrastructure isn’t in place to offer complete reliability.

With the recommendation and the previous load-testing vendor failing to provide a solution that meets their needs, the customer contacted Aggreko to discuss potential answers to their dilemma.
