Located just a couple of miles from Manchester city centre, Itility is a privately-owned, high-performance colocation, cloud and hosting data centre.

Through its purpose-built, state-of-the-art 8,900 square foot facility, the company provides dedicated and shared hosting, application hosting, Cloud, IP transit and disaster recovery solutions to SMEs across the UK.

Its original UPS system was installed in 2011 comprising three Master Plus units. By 2021, one of the UPS reached its end of service life, a fate fast approaching with another of the units.

Itility turned to Specialist Power Systems, an authorised Riello UPS reseller and service partner, to specify a cost-effective and efficient replacement.

Following an in-depth site survey and extensive dialog with the customer, Specialist Power Systems proposed a modular solution combining a lower initial capital investment with the flexibility for easy system expansion in the future.

Riello UPS’s Multi Power provided the perfect mix of scalable, secure, and high-quality power protection.

To minimise downtime on install day, the new modular UPS was delivered to site the previous day. Specialist Power Systems’ certified safe disposal team isolated, uninstalled, decommissioned, and removed the old units, before installing the new Multi Power solution.

The complete removal, installation, and commissioning took less than a day.

Compared to the older units, which operated at 85% efficiency, the new Multi Power installation is capable of up to 96.5% efficiency.

Due to the scalable design of the new modular solution, the client load level sits higher in the efficiency window and as a result will deliver energy savings of around £12,000 a year.
