Kährs.

Kärhs are manufactures of parquet flooring and have their base in Nybro, Sweden but operate globally with production facilities in 6-7 countries. The data centre in Nybro is the hub for the whole operation with head office, sales & production systems, telephone and other IT infrastructure connected to it. In the case of a power cut every Kärhs facility worldwide would be affected. Previously they only had battery backup for the data centre, so for increased operational reliability they chose to invest in a backup generator. Kärhs decided to also connect the generator to head office so that they can continue to function there during a power cut as this is crucial for the organisation. The generator is installed in a customised container, designed specifically for Kährs requirements.

With a secure generator it means that everyone can work even during a power cut. The organisation would have only a short pause of 20 seconds before everything would continue to work again. All the business systems are tied up to the same data centre, so the factory would come to a standstill if the data centre could not function. Therefore, the generator is vital for Kärhs if a power cut should occur.
