Capgemini Selects Active Power For UK Data Center Expansion
The company will provide the facility’s modular power infrastructure.
To support the second phase build of its award winning United Kingdom based data center, Capgemini UK plc (“Capgemini”) has selected Active Power’s CleanSource® PowerHouse™ solution to provide complete continuous critical power protection to the facility’s IT infrastructure.
The multimillion dollar order for Capgemini’s Merlin data center in Swindon, England, is made up of two CleanSource 625HD UPS systems; two continuously rated diesel engines; switchgear; and transformers, all installed in six purpose built enclosures. UK based SPIE is the general contractor and Active Power’s customer on the project. All equipment is scheduled for startup in the first quarter of 2015.
