	Electric Power Our Passaic County Data Center is designed with full 2N and N+1 redundancy. At any time, each component is connected with multiple power and networking connections. The center’s power design is based on multiple power feeds, 2N Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), N+2 generator backup and N+1 generator feeds to the building. The facility was designed to support high density power configuration. Cervalis has a highly available electrical infrastructure. Our system is built on a tiered electric system that includes: • 16MW of electric power capacity • 2 power feeds from the utility provider • Ten (10) 2MW diesel generator sets powered by a Detroit Diesel 4000 HP engine • 5,000 gallons of fuel per generator • Twenty four (24) 750 KVA UPS systems in a 2N configuration • 2N PDU systems Back to top
	Cooling Systems The data center cooling system is a closed loop, glycol-based system that provides 3,000 tons of cooling capacity Back to top
	Floor Space The data center is equipped with 2'x2' floor tile raised 36" above the sub-floor. Other features include: • Network connection cables located in overhead cable trays • Distributed weight limited rated at 1,250 pounds per square foot (with capability to increase using additional corner support stations) The center is equipped with 50-ton CRAH units and 36” of raised floor Back to top
