UCSD Data Center Power

While Doctors and Nurses are the heart of all healthcare – data, in the form of patient records, test results, etc., is like the circulatory system, bringing the much needed information to the clinicians when and where they need it, to provide optimal care to the patient.

Since any failure in the data system could cause negative impacts on patient care, it is imperative to have up-to-date technology supporting the system.

UCSD partnered with Tanner Engineering to update their Data Processing Center. The project provided a new upgraded 400kW engine/generator with a 180 kW UPS system.

The UPS system was housed in a dedicated room with redundant HVAC – 2/3 redundant HVAC system with 100% redundant on load side of UPS.
