We had to change the layout of our power sub-distribution boards. When I originally posted about the power sub-distribution boards they looked like the photo below:

We were very proud of the way the sub-distribution boards looked!

However, we recently had potential clients on a tour of the facility and looking at the layout they pointed out that a fire in the lower board would likely spread to the top board. So much for the redundancy of having two boards for the A and B power networks!

Realising that they were absolutely correct, we are now changing the layout of the power sub-distribution boards in the data centre:

If you are interested in having a look around the data centre, drop me a line (tom@tomrafteryit.net) we’d love to show you around.
