In March 2018, Redgate approached Secure Power with specific requirements for their power solutions. After careful consideration, Secure Power presented an Eaton proposal tailored to Redgate's needs. By August 2018, Redgate had green-lit our proposal, which included an Eaton 93PS 3/3 UPS, complete with two 20kW power modules, an external open battery stand, a network management card, and a comprehensive suite of services.

However, by January 2023, Redgate's growth necessitated a relocation of its headquarters. They reached out to Secure Power once again, not just for assistance with the UPS relocation, but also to design a more resilient emergency power solution.

Customer Profile

Redgate stands as a beacon in creating compliant database solutions, especially for sectors like finance, healthcare, and technology. Their clientele includes several multinational companies, and they manage hundreds of business-critical servers across multiple continents. Given the scale and critical nature of their operations, uninterrupted support is paramount.

Problem Statement

The challenge was twofold: Redgate needed a seamless transition to their new headquarters without disrupting their ongoing operations. After several coordination meetings with their electrical contractors, it was clear that a flexible, yet robust plan was essential. The primary goal was to ensure minimal disruption during the transition.

Proposed Solution

Understanding the constraints and the need for uninterrupted operations at their existing office, Secure Power proposed supplying a new external bypass switch for the new premises. This would ensure that the current site remained fully operational during the transition phase.

Implementation Process

The process was meticulously planned:

Role of Team Members

COO Nick Morley and Service Manager Lewis Wheelhouse were instrumental in this project. They conducted site visits to both the new and existing premises, offering invaluable advice and recommendations. Post-visit, they crafted a comprehensive plan, ensuring a seamless transition between the two offices.

Results and Impact

Redgate expressed immense satisfaction with the UPS relocation's design and execution. The manual changeover panel's introduction significantly bolstered their power resiliency, especially during prolonged power outages. Moreover, the new open stand optimised the comms room's footprint, allowing Redgate to repurpose the saved space.

Redgate's feedback was overwhelmingly positive, particularly praising the design and execution of the new solution.

Insights Gained

This project underscored the importance of comprehensive site audits. By capturing all relevant details upfront, potential complications were pre-emptively addressed. This proactive approach was pivotal to the project's success.
