New backup power system installed
Category : Cloud computing , Website Hosting
We are please to announce the deployment of a new backup power generator. This 24 kW generator can power all of our servers and our office in the event of power loss.
All of our servers have 100% power loss protection with redundant systems. The first level of protection comes from uninteruptable power supplies (UPS). Each UPS protects our servers from power surges and short-term power loss with battery-powered inverters, which immediately kick in when trouble is detected.
This 24 kilowatt natural gas powered generator went online in November of 2022.
The new generator now guards against longer power interruptions. It will automatically start up after a 30-second power loss. This represents a significant investment in the business, which will ensure even more reliable service for our customers. While Portland General Electric is typically quite reliable, severe weather events are becoming more common, and accidental damage to the PGE grid can occur for a multitude of other reasons. iNetPlanet recognizes that in times of emergency, customer access to their cloud data and their websites may be more important than ever.
