Therefore, in the event of a mains failure, they have to be protected; otherwise the millions of data that these buildings house would be lost, and the consequences would be disastrous, both economically and reputationally.<\/p>\n<p>As our Engineering Department explains, \u201cDPCs must have a support infrastructure which guarantees the operation of the systems in the event of any unexpected problem, and this precisely the function of the generator sets we have supplied: they provide uninterrupted power to servers, switches, routers and other components of the system\u201d.<\/p>\n<h3>Maximum reliability<\/h3>\n<p>Maximum reliability was an essential condition during the manufacturing process of the equipment that we supplied for the Reunion Island Data Center. Both generator sets were mounted in a 5500mm soundproof canopy and included an additional 2200mm sheet metal module that housed a 4000L tank inside to be assembled on site. Once attached, each canopy and the corresponding additional module looked like a single block of more than 7700mm. This module was specifically designed for this project, as it was mandatory that both canopy and fuel tank module looked like a single unit.<\/p>\n<h3>Comply with French regulations<\/h3>\n<p>The two generator sets were manufactured in accordance with the criteria required by the <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>French standard NF-E-37-312,<\/strong><\/span> which implied carrying out a series of additional steps, including the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Provide dual starting system and batteries, bearing in mind the space that such system occupies inside the canopy and without count on any available supports.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Designing a bidirectional transfer system allowing any of the two generator sets to use the other\u2019s fuel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='avia-slideshow av-22aol4p-294a2dda019ca488339409c245e8049a avia-slideshow-gallery av_slideshow avia-slide-slider  avia-builder-el-2
