Why Choose Global Power Supply for Data Center Backup Power?

Other companies can provide a data center generator and other hardware. Some other providers can design customized solutions. And others are good at post-installation support. However, only Global Power Supply offers you a tailored solution, from custom engineering and product sourcing to factory-authorized commissioning and ongoing support. Global Power Supply is truly your single source for data center backup power.

We help customers navigate the supply chain to get what they need

So, it’s time to upgrade your power infrastructure beyond a simple data center UPS system. Many companies have started such a project, but months or years later, they have little to show for it. When dealing with high-tech, in-demand equipment, it’s common for supply chain disruptions and equipment shortages to sink project timelines and budgets. Global Power Supply has more than 20 years of experience navigating these challenges, ensuring our clients get the equipment they need when they need it.

We leverage our extensive network of suppliers and long-running vendor partnerships to secure critical backup power components. As a value-added reseller of several top manufacturers in the power supply industry, we can avoid supply chain disruptions. We also have an in-stock inventory of high-quality products from top manufacturers to ensure our customers get what they need in times of high demand.

Certified, dedicated project management makes a difference

Global Power Supply’s certified project management services are built on years of experience, deep industry knowledge, meticulous planning, and seamless execution. With over two decades of experience, our team understands the intricacies of power infrastructure projects, from initial design and procurement, to installation, factory-authorized commissioning, and ongoing maintenance. We put that experience to work for you with a dedicated project management team that sees you through the entire lifecycle, from design to installation and all the way through to on-site maintenance.

Our project managers are seasoned professionals who understand industry best practices, regulatory requirements, and the unique challenges associated with backup power projects. The Global Power Supply team can anticipate potential roadblocks and proactively address challenges before they bring projects to a halt. In fact, we deliver even the largest data center power systems in months rather than typical lead times of a year or more.

Our engineers raise the bar on technical support

The engineering and project management teams at Global Power Supply unite to cover all aspects of data center power systems. We’re there for everything from the initial concept and design to detailed engineering, equipment specification, and on-site maintenance. For Global Power Supply customers, technical support is not just something you get after the fact. We raise the bar to ensure you get a seamlessly integrated backup power solution.

So, what does our comprehensive support look like? This means we offer power system application studies to ensure maximum efficiency, safety, and reliability. We develop comprehensive power system designs that meet your company’s specific requirements. The Global Power Supply teams consider redundancy, scalability, and efficiency for every backup power project. We guide you through equipment specification and selection, finding the optimal equipment for each application. After factory-approved commissioning and testing, we provide ongoing support and maintenance services to maximize your investment.

Shorter lead times keep backup power projects moving

Our partnerships with the world’s leading power equipment manufacturers pay dividends to our customers. By regularly placing large, recurring inventory orders with our partners, we always have readily available stock of the industry’s best equipment, significantly reducing lead times for our customers. This helps us deliver solutions faster than other backup power providers who order equipment on an as-needed basis.

We also maintain a selection of certified pre-owned equipment. Customers facing immediate needs or budgetary constraints can tap into this inventory to keep their backup power projects moving. You don’t have to worry about the quality or resilience of pre-owned equipment, as everything we sell goes through a rigorous inspection and testing process to ensure its reliability.

Custom Generator Enclosures and Fuel Tanks

Your backup power system needs are unique. No other company shares the same infrastructure, and that’s why we deliver tailored solutions for every customer. To protect and fuel your power system, we also offer custom generator enclosures and fuel tanks. Since Global Power Supply started in 2004, we have built relationships with the industry’s top vendors, as well as enclosure and fuel tank manufacturers.

We work closely with you to understand your site conditions, weather considerations, regulatory requirements, and operational needs. Then, we collaborate with our network of top partners to design and fabricate a custom enclosure and fuel tank solution. The result is optimal performance with a high level of protection. From basic weather-protective housings to extreme hot and cold weather packages, to more complex sound-attenuated enclosures, Global Power Supply delivers custom generator enclosure solutions to help ensure reliable operation for years to come. We also have years of experience designing generator fuel tanks and can provide custom fuel tanks to meet all state regulations including UL 142 and UL 2085, as well as specific run time requirements.

Complete Power Systems, Delivered in Months

Designing and building a new data center is a complex undertaking. With other providers, it’s not uncommon for power infrastructure lead times to stretch into multiple years. It’s no wonder projects get delayed. Global Power Supply offers a distinct advantage by streamlining this process and delivering complete power systems in just months.

Thanks to our strategic inventory management, established manufacturer relationships, and in-house engineering expertise, Global Power Supply has the unique ability to accelerate the timeline for all power systems, including ones with the largest diesel generators and UPS systems. If you need to bring your data centers online quickly and efficiently, Global Power Supply is here to deliver the high-quality, reliable products you need.
