On the 22nd and 23rd of September, CIXP customers using 48V were migrated to a new, state-of-the-art 48V installation. The heart of the new 48V system consists of four rectifier units capable of providing 200A each. They are configured as two redundant pairs, with one rectifier per pair being backed by a diesel generator. The new 48V system has a level of redundancy that is better than many hospital operating theatres!

Major work is underway to improve the cooling and ventilation system of the CIXP facility. The cooling system will be backed up by UPS, and in the telecoms corridor, two independent installations will pulse cold air from both ends using new aerial ducts. The warm air will be evacuated through the false floor, thus ensuring that a minimum amount of dust is present in the rooms themselves. The new system is scheduled to go live at the end of January.
