Kevin: We're here today at Wokingham Borough Council in the Chamber Office, it's here where
we supplied and installed a 90 KVA UPS System and 400 KVA standby generator. This equipment
provides protection for the Borough Council and their data centre in the event of a prolonged
mains failure. Chris: We currently are the main heart of
Wokingham Borough looking after all the children's services, all the schools, all the planning,
building control throughout the Borough and so this is the general heart of the council.
We have IT systems here that we need to maintain at all times 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,
365 days a year. We have uninterruptible power supply systems here with standby generator
systems. Kevin: The 90 KVA UPS system supplied offers
instant protection for the IT and data centre. Chris: Last year the council offices lost
the supply to the building, the supply to the building was constantly maintained. This
was fortunately because we had a UPS system in line with our IT servers and we had no
interruption into the supply at all. Kevin: Outside we have a 400 KVA SDMO diesel
powered generator offering protection for the entire building in prolonged mains failures.
Chris: If we didn’t have a UPS system we would automatically lose our IT equipment
and if we didn’t have a generator to keep our IT systems going then no one could operate.
One within the council offices, and also there's no interaction between any of the services
throughout the whole borough. It’s the hub of the community.
