Also, the server room air-conditioning needed to run 24x7 and condensation was caused by the nightly suspension of central air conditioning. Air conditioning also had to be targeted at server hot spots, which isn't possible with central air.

APC engineers deployed a three-phase 60KVA power supply system which occupied less room than a single-phase power supply system-high power density and a post-outage backup power supply of 45 minutes better suited MoFo's needs. The power supply system also had LEDs indicating remaining power and backup time calculated in real-time: if a battery module failed, it could be swapped out without shutting down the system. If there was any power supply fluctuation, the APC system would notify Chan by email and text messages.

The installation comes with an environment monitoring system (EMS) device to keep temperature and humidity in check and a webcam/intrusion detection system. Based on the success of the system in the Hong Kong office, Morrison & Foerster plans to standardize use of the APC solution globally, said APC.
