Emergency generator as power supply in the data center
An emergency power generator as an additional power supply for the data center offers a number of advantages that have a significant impact on the continuity of server room operations and the security of the IT infrastructure and data. As an expert in data center infrastructures and aggregates, you benefit from our many years of experience in this field.
Power supply with maximum availability for your server room
Data center and genset - the important combination
- Individual power supply solution for the data center: Depending on the dimensions and requirements, we plan and install the equipment for your emergency power generator for the server room. The type of control and definition of communication between the UPS system and the genset are particularly important for efficient server room operation.
- Stationary or mobile unit: Whether for stationary or mobile use, we offer both variants for you. Mobile systems are delivered by us with a trailer and are ideal for server room relocations or short-term applications.
- Uninterrupted operation of the data center: To ensure that the operation of your server room runs smoothly, we also offer any maintenance or service work by our EPS service team on Sundays and public holidays, or outside normal business hours, by appointment.
- Power units with quality: We rely on products with CE certification and work together with well-known manufacturers. Here we rely on existing and long-standing partnerships. All units installed by EPS may also be operated with HV0 diesel.

Nessus and EPS have jointly built a second state-of-the-art data center in Vienna to meet growing customer needs. Despite challenges such as integration into an existing building and ensuring redundancy, the project was successfully completed. The new center offers expanded capacities and site redundancy for even greater reliability.
