N+1 Redundancy

Cooling &
Power

High-density compute requires massive power and thermal management. Our datacenters are engineered to handle extreme loads without breaking a sweat.

Beating the Heat.

When running 96-core CPUs at sustained boost clocks, thermal management is not an afterthought-it is the primary engineering challenge. If a server gets too hot, silicon automatically throttles its speed to prevent melting. At Plex Scale, our advanced HVAC and power delivery systems ensure your server always runs at its absolute maximum theoretical speed, unaffected by the physics of heat.

Uninterruptible Operations

Power is delivered to every rack via true A/B redundant feeds. This means every server possesses dual power supplies, each connected to a completely distinct electrical circuit. If Feed A fails due to a grid outage, Feed B instantly assumes the full load without dropping a single cycle.

In the event of a total municipal power failure, massive Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) battery banks instantly bridge the gap while our on-site diesel generators spin up. These generators are tested weekly and maintain a 48-hour fuel reserve, with priority refueling contracts in place.

Thermals are managed via Hot/Cold Aisle Containment. Cold air is forced up through raised flooring directly into the front intakes of the servers. Hot exhaust air is sealed in the rear aisle and vacuumed directly into industrial CRAC (Computer Room Air Conditioning) units, preventing mixing and maximizing cooling efficiency.

Cooling Infrastructure

Stability Guaranteed

Zero Thermal Throttling

Precision climate control keeps silicon well below throttling temperatures, ensuring maximum clock speeds.

Eco-Friendly Options

Optimized PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) metrics utilizing free-cooling and renewable energy sources where available.

Redundant PDUs

Even the Power Distribution Units within the rack are fully redundant to prevent localized failures.

Why It Matters

Mission Critical Apps

Hospitals, financial institutions, and emergency services cannot tolerate downtime due to a local power grid failure. We keep you online.

Machine Learning

Training AI models generates immense heat over days or weeks. Our cooling ensures long-running compute jobs never fail mid-process.

SLA Compliance

If your business offers SLAs to your own clients, you need upstream infrastructure that guarantees 99.99% uptime. Our power design provides that guarantee.

Common Questions

What does N+1 mean?
N+1 is an engineering term indicating that a system has one more independent component than is strictly required to run (Need + 1). If one component fails, the system continues to operate normally.
How often are generators tested?
Our facility generators are run weekly with no load, and undergo full load-bank testing annually to ensure they will perform perfectly during a real grid failure.
Do you charge extra for power?
No. Power and cooling costs are fully baked into the price of your Virtual Server or Bare Metal plan. There are no surprise utility bills.
What is your PUE?
Power Usage Effectiveness varies by datacenter location, but we strive for a PUE of under 1.2 across all new deployments.
