Colocation Service

Colocation Service: Power

CoreLink's electrical system is comprised of a 2N or N+1 UPS parallel system to the cabinet level.

Several Transient Voltage Surge Suppression (TVSS) devices are installed on major electrical panels and remove spikes prior to being seen by the UPS, where the wave form is stabilized. The UPS systems correct utility power to a stable wave former through double-conversion, and include a 7 minute battery back-up to transition to the generator system. Power is distributed from the UPS through K-rated transformers to local panel distribution panels and branched to computer cabinets. Computer cabinets are installed with ip-addressable power strips containing ampacity meters.

CoreLink offers both AC and DC power in a variety of voltage and amperage configurations.
The system includes a back-up using an Automatic Transfer Switch connected to a stand-by diesel generator. The system is designed to transition to generator back-up in 15 seconds whenever an under-voltage or over-voltage condition persists. Back-by power is sustained and not restored until the utility supply is stable and consistent.

Colocation Service: Standard Density - 5.7kW

The standard design of the CoreLink data centers is to provide up to 5.7kW of usable power per cabinet. This would be the equivalent of three (3) 120VAC/20A power circuits, or one (1) 208VAC/20A/3-phase power circuit. Please note that the redundant (B-side) power circuits are not included in this calculation since 5.7kW is the true maximum usage and not over inflated by also including the redundant power circuits. Also note that 5.7kW is the net maximum usable, rather than an inflated gross/breaker number, which would be 7.2kW (14.4kW if one were to include the B-side power circuits).

Colocation Service: Higher Density

CoreLink knows that some customers require even higher power and cooling densities, which can be facilitated upon an engineering design review and is most appropriate in cage or suite space, rather than the shared cabinet space.
