Our dedicated servers use redundant power supplies, dual power feeds, and Supermicro hardware

Enterprise-grade hardware for every dedicated server

When you rent a dedicated server from ServerPoint, you’re getting enterprise-grade hardware, not repurposed consumer equipment. Every server we deploy is built on Supermicro platforms with redundant power supplies.

Why Supermicro?

Supermicro is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of enterprise server hardware. We chose Supermicro for our dedicated server fleet because:

• Enterprise reliability: Supermicro servers are designed for 24/7 operation in demanding data center environments
• Quality components: Every component is selected for long-term reliability
• Proven track record: Supermicro hardware is used by major enterprises and cloud providers worldwide
• Excellent support: We have direct relationships with Supermicro for parts and support

Redundant power supplies: why they matter

Every dedicated server in our fleet includes redundant power supplies. Here’s why this is critical:

What is a redundant power supply?

A redundant power supply means your server has two (or more) power supply units (PSUs). Each PSU can independently power the entire server. If one fails, the other takes over instantly, with zero downtime.

The benefits

1. Zero downtime from PSU failure: Power supply failures are one of the most common hardware issues. With redundancy, a PSU failure doesn’t affect your server.

2. Hot-swappable replacement: Our technicians can replace a failed PSU without shutting down your server.

3. Peace of mind: Your business-critical applications stay online even when hardware components fail.

Dual power feeds at the rack level

Redundant power supplies are only part of the equation. To truly protect against power-related downtime, you need redundancy at every level. That’s why each of our racks receives two separate power feeds from different sources:

How our rack power works

• Two independent power feeds per rack: Each rack in our data centers is connected to two separate power distribution units (PDUs)
• Different UPS systems: Each power feed comes from a different Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system
• Separate distribution paths: The two feeds follow separate electrical distribution paths within the data center

Why this matters

With dual power feeds:

• UPS failure protection: If one UPS system fails or goes into maintenance, your server continues running on the other feed
• Distribution-level redundancy: Problems with one power distribution path don’t affect the other
• True N+1 power: Combined with redundant PSUs, your server has fully redundant power from the utility all the way to the CPU

The complete power path

Utility Power → Generator Backup → UPS System A → PDU A → PSU 1 → Server
Utility Power → Generator Backup → UPS System B → PDU B → PSU 2 → Server

Both paths are active simultaneously. If anything fails on Path A, Path B keeps your server running without interruption.

Our commitment to reliability

This hardware investment is part of our commitment to providing reliable dedicated server hosting. Combined with our Tier III+ data centers, redundant network connectivity, and 24/7 monitoring, you get a hosting environment designed for maximum uptime.
