New Digital Economy continues to evolve after COVID-19, as the World’s economy is unlikely to return to the same as before. There will be even more companies relying heavily on their servers, cloud computing, data centres and etc - vast quantities of critical customers’ data need to be stored safely, remain continuously accessible at all times to gain competitive advantages over others.

“If data is worth Processing, it’s worth Protecting well.” One such renowned Global Stock Broker in Singapore was faced with the challenge of managing Up Time of their Trading Systems, especially during trading hours. Any power interruption will result in losses in revenue and have negative impact on its reputation as a Global Stock Trading partner. With a critical requirement in hand, the Stock Brokering firm came across DataSphere Singapore—one of the leading Data Centre Facility Providers of unparalleled solutions and services in the design, build and provide maintenance of mission-critical data centres. Having studied the requirements carefully, DataSphere solved the challenge by adopting the Distributed Active Parallel Architecture (DARA) Fault-Tolerant Modular Uninterruptible Power System to support all their IT Hardware in their Data Centre and Trading desks. The Global Stock Broker found the Fault-Tolerant Modular UPS serves their needs and adopted the same High Availability, Fault-Tolerant UPS solutions in all their Trading Hubs globally. They have been operating for several years since, without a single glitch or drop in their IT loads.
Understanding Technologies to protect Critical IT loads with High Availability, Fault-Tolerant Uninterruptible Power Systems to achieve “Sustainable” Competitive Advantage.

Cases as such, are indicative of DataSphere’s in-depth expertise in delivering customer service experts, extensive supplier networks, and in-house design capabilities. DataSphere is one of the earliest infrastructure service providers in Singapore that offers Turnkey Data Centre services and a cost-effective one-stop solution for diverse data centre needs. “Data Centre users have the daunting task of putting together rooms for the same, with little to no information about implementing its infrastructure facility — so we step in and provide the design of the entire data centre,” says Cliff Lee, Executive Director, DataSphere. Cliff refers to designing the Data Centre as the most critical part of building data centres. Depending on the clients’ business perspectives, requirements, and budgets, the data centres designed by DataSphere, vary vastly from one another. From planning the capacity of the data centres, the High Availability of Modular UPS systems with Maximum Efficiency Management (MEM), the types of cooling solution/capacity with Aisle Containment, and expansions, DataSphere covers it all and recommends ways to upgrade or enhance clients’ critical systems and facilities based on the information available.

DataSphere takes pride in facilitating clients with comprehensive assessment and accurate design, which helps in avoiding variation costs. With its modular Fault-Tolerant UPS design, DataSphere allows its customers to increase or reduce the capacity of their UPS systems by easy replaceable plug and play UPS modules. Repairing of UPSs on site, is the thing of the past ! To achieve High Availability, faulty UPS module is “hot-swapped”. This has drastically reduces human error.

From researches, “More than 32 percent system failures are due to human errors”. We minimize this by adopting the updated Faulty-Tolerance Technology and the capability of “hot and safe swapping” of the UPS modules instead of repairing on site. We recommend our clients to take advantage of the available technology, adopt functional design and bring down the human errors to increase the Availability of the IT Systems” added Cliff Lee.
