Availability design target, based on architectural modelling and configuration-specific assumptions.
within the UPS architecture by design. No shared static bypasses or control boards.
Europe and Asia-Pacific. Client names withheld under confidentiality.
It can mean payment outages, trading disruption, regulatory scrutiny and lasting damage to customer trust.
Accountability ultimately falls on those who chose the architecture, redundancy and maintenance strategy. That’s the real specification behind every UPS decision: if it fails at 3am, is my judgment the one that ends up in the incident report?
Mapping. Impact tolerances. Scenario testing. Concentration risk.
Four instruments the UPS is rarely held to. Yet it quietly feeds into every one.
The regulator asks what payments depends on. The map runs through apps, servers, the data centre, then stops at one word: “power.”
A tolerance is a ceiling you defend. When a module fails, the others are designed to absorb the load with no drop and no transfer to bypass. The ceiling holds.
The auditor asks to see the failure tested. In most topologies that means going to bypass first, least protected at the moment you’re proving resilience.
You mapped it across clouds and providers. The one inside the UPS never surfaced: a shared bypass, a single control board, no second one.
Risk holds the veto and didn’t spec the UPS. Correct architecture still stops if it can’t be explained in tolerances and tested response.
Battery failure is one of the most common causes of UPS outages, but also one of the easiest to anticipate. Effective monitoring and testing help identify weak batteries before they become critical, while support for different battery technologies keeps the system flexible over its lifetime.
A UPS should be part of the same monitoring ecosystem as the rest of the infrastructure. Through open protocols such as SNMPv3, Modbus/IP and API, its status and alerts can be integrated into ITSM, monitoring and incident-reporting platforms.
UPS systems rarely operate at full load. MEM adapts the number of active modules to actual demand, maintaining redundancy while improving efficiency across the operating range that matters in real-world use.
Resilience should not be compromised by supply-chain delays. Predictable lead times help ensure that the architecture approved at design stage is the same one delivered and commissioned on site.
When each module carries its own bypass and control, adding modules adds resilience. No shared control or bypass component beneath the modules is designed to become a system-wide failure point.
Most modular systems route every module through one control board, one static bypass, one parallel bus. DARA Is designed to give each module its own, removing the shared part a fault could travel through.
DDM, Distributed Decision Making, is designed so there’s no central brain to lose. Each module decides independently, and the system behaves as the sum of those decisions.
Each module is self-contained, so it can be isolated, removed and returned while the load is designed to stay protected. No transfer to bypass. A fault can be tested off the critical path.
Capacity can grow one module at a time without replacing the existing UPS, subject to technical approval. Designed to avoid overhaul, downtime, or stranded investment. The architecture that fits today extends to tomorrow’s density
Architecture and operation. Both documented.
Every property of the system maps to something you’re accountable for.
With no shared bypass, board or bus, the single point of failure was designed out, not mitigated. When risk or a regulator asks where it sits, the answer is architectural.
Modules are isolated and serviced under live load, so scheduled work no longer exposes the critical path. By avoiding transfer to bypass during module service, the architecture reduces the risk of human error affecting the critical load.
A failed module can be isolated and replaced under load within minutes, subject to site conditions. MTTR is short by design, and every minute saved is a minute further from a reportable incident.
Capacity can be expanded one module at a time, reducing the need for redesign or replacement of existing UPS infrastructure.
You need the power layer to hold an impact tolerance and survive a scenario test, on paper and in the room. Start with what makes it explainable to second line.
Every minute of MTTR is a minute closer to a reportable incident. Start with how recovery time becomes a design property instead of a hope.
Finance wants the TCO story, risk wants the resilience story, and you walk into both rooms with one document. Start with efficiency at real load and a 30-year frame.
Resilience isn’t a feature added on top. It’s the topology underneath.
Every module has its own rectifier, inverter and static bypass, with no shared control board, bypass or bus. DARA removes SPOFs at topology level.
DDM, Distributed Decision Making, lets each module make independent decisions, with no central controller. The system operates collectively without a single control point to fail.
Modules can be isolated, replaced and fault-tested without transferring to bypass. Maintenance and testing take place without exposing the critical power path to risk.
Supports concurrent maintainability and fault containment for Tier III/IV designs. Final certification depends on the complete facility.
The same architecture runs where downtime is not survivable.
Utilities, national infrastructure, Tier III telecom, and banks. The environments differ; the requirement doesn’t.
Deployed in banking and financial services across Europe and Asia-Pacific, covered by client confidentiality, the same discretion any serious banking supplier is held to
Where names can be shared, the pattern holds: national data-centre infrastructure, government facilities under continuity mandates, Tier III environments where availability is contractual.
Not a startup, not a rebrand. Three decades of UPS architecture development — and the engineering continuity that comes with it.
Financial transparency and institutional accountability. The governance structure of a company built for 30-year infrastructure partnerships.
The No-SPOF Standard sets out how a banking power chain is assessed and where single points of failure actually sit: mapping, impact tolerances, scenario testing, concentration risk, applied to the UPS the way the rest of your estate is already assessed. Architecture, not marketing. Written to be read by an engineer and defended to a board.
Centiel builds modular and standalone UPS from core data centres to branch and ATM networks. The form factor follows the site; the engineering discipline doesn’t change.

Performance figures are based on architectural modelling and configuration-specific assumptions.
Actual performance depends on system configuration, installation environment, maintenance practices, and operating conditions.
Module and component replacement times assume trained personnel, adherence to site procedures, and availability of spare modules.
Battery, efficiency and capacity-expansion claims are subject to system configuration and technical validation.
Tier certification is granted by independent third-party assessment bodies and depends on full compliance with facility design.
Typical factory lead time is four to six weeks from confirmed order and final technical release, subject to configuration, production capacity, and prevailing supply conditions.
