RackForce Powers Up [August 6, 2004]

RackForce Hosting Inc. has added a second, fully independent and redundant hydro-electric power feed and an additional 500KW diesel generator to its data center in Kelowna, British Columbia. The severe power outages experienced recently on the East and West Coast as well as concerns with the continued vulnerability of utility networks in general has reinforced RackForce’s commitment to build additional redundancy into its power systems. “One of the reasons we initially located our dedicated hosting facility in this area”, notes Tim Dufour, president and CEO of RackForce, “was the abundance of clean, reliable power sources. Access to dual hydro-utility grids is a rare occurrence and it made sense that we took advantage of this asset to ensure the reliability of our hosting services.“ The new power feed will supplement RackForce’s existing redundant diesel and UPS power backup systems.
