Jephson Housing Association Group chooses Power Control's reliable solutions
To ensure maximum power security, Jephson Housing wanted to centralise its uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems.
Jephson Housing Association Group, a leading provider of quality homes and services, which recently merged with the Raglan Housing Association to form Stonewater, one of the UK’s most significant social housing providers.
With 30,000 homes under management and £1.6 billion in assets and a significant development programme to help address the rising demand for housing, the organisation relies heavily on its IT infrastructure.
To ensure maximum power security, Jephson Housing wanted to centralise its uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems.
The solution and results
Working with one of its premier partners, independent reseller BAC-UPS, Power Control submitted a detailed recommendation report, which included an analysis of existing UPS equipment and supporting CAD drawings to illustrate the proposals put forward.
Impressed by Power Control’s total business solution, Jephson Housing purchased three transformer free Borri B8000FXS 20kVA UPS systems with IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) input and output technology, which are now being used to support the company’s central IT room, providing critical power supply backup to the businesses IT systems.
The new Borri B8000FXS UPS units were installed within very tight time constraints and within budget by Power Control’s specialist engineers, who were also supported by Jephson Housing’s in-house electricians. Having originally had multiple rack mount UPS units, this new power backup solution is far more resilient, provides greater autonomy and a much smaller carbon foot print.
For added peace of mind, the high-efficiency Borri B8000FXS UPS systems also come with Power Control’s five-year gold maintenance contract, sophisticated N+2 capabilities and full SNMP software monitoring and shutdown, ensuring superior performance reliability.
"We chose to use a Borri UPS solution based on the quality of its specification requirements, which were pitched at exactly the right level and provided a complete operational solution for the entire business. Not only that, but we also found Power Control to be very competitively priced. Power Control is extremely professional and easy to work with and they were exceptional on delivery. We had a limited amount of time for the installation and the team pulled out all the stops to ensure that the job was completed within the allocated time frame. They have been first-class; we’ve had an outstanding customer experience with them and would certainly recommend them to others."
