CENTIEL and G4S to provide power protection to the Channel Islands
Leading Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) manufacturer, CENTIEL, has teamed-up with G4S Secure Solutions to provide critical power protection services for clients based on the Channel Islands. With CENTIEL’s 4th generation, three-phase, modular UPS system now successfully deployed in two data centers on Guernsey, G4S Facilities Management’s engineering staff are undergoing extensive technical training to be able to provide first level support, PAN Island.
Wayne McKane, critical power and HVAC engineer, G4S Secure Solutions confirms: “We chose CENTIEL as our partner and trusted adviser to deliver these important projects as the company is a leading manufacturer at the very forefront of the industry. At the start of 2018, we were looking for a truly modular solution to ensure efficient running and maintenance of systems within data centres, where our staff could be easily trained to exchange modules if required. We were also looking for the very latest technology to ensure maximum availability combined with a low total cost of ownership and CENTIEL ticked all the boxes.
“So far, only CumulusPower, CENTIEL’s 4th Generation Modular UPS has been installed on the Islands,” continues McKane. “However, the association between our two companies now means G4S will have access to CENTIEL’s full product range to fulfil the needs of our valued client base regardless of their size or power protection requirements.”
Louis McGarry sales manager, CENTIEL confirms: “The G4S Secure Solutions team visited our R&D facility and factory in Switzerland earlier last year as part of their selection process. Dealing directly with a manufacturer can have numerous advantages in terms of speed of implementation and the replacement or supply of spare parts for example. CENTIEL provides comprehensive training and ongoing support for our partners, plus we are planning numerous marketing and technical seminar ventures to showcase our industry leading product and joint service capabilities with G4S Secure Solutions in the future.”
