A data centre is a dedicated space where companies can keep and operate most of the ICT infrastructure that supports their business. This would be the servers and storage equipment that run application software and process and store data and content. For some companies this might be a simple cage or rack of equipment, for others it could be a room housing a few or many cabinets, depending on the scale of their operation.
With the acute power shortage and inevitable blackouts in country, power inverters have come to the rescue .Increasingly, Nigerians are seeing the wisdom in turning to the inverter solution to mitigate the power supply shortfall.
Power inverters are simply DC (direct current) to AC (alternating current) converters - they convert DC energy stored in a battery, to the electric current (AC) that your appliances require. An inverter taps current from the public supply when that is on (or, alternatively, from a power generator), stores that power in its battery bank as DC and converts it to AC when the power supply is gone. That way, the inverter provides the power backup you need, filling the gap in your power supply.
The main added value of inverters, which is the key advantage of inverter over power generator, is that inverters do not require consumables like petrol, diesel or oil and virtually incur no running cost. Once bought, it supplies power for free, until a battery-change. Big money saver that you can't ignore! Besides, good inverters are fully automated, saving you that inconvenience of change-overs, suffered with generators.
