Dedicated Servers

Redundant power supplies, dual power feeds, and Supermicro hardware

By ColossusCloud's Team January 25, 2026 Updated February 1, 2026

Enterprise-grade hardware for every dedicated server

ColossusCloud dedicated servers include enterprise-grade hardware, not repurposed consumer equipment. Every server deploys on Supermicro platforms with redundant power supplies.

Why Supermicro?

Supermicro is among the world’s leading enterprise server hardware manufacturers. We chose Supermicro because:

  • Enterprise reliability: Servers designed for 24/7 demanding data center operation
  • Quality components: Every component selected for long-term reliability
  • Proven track record: Major enterprises and cloud providers trust Supermicro worldwide
  • Excellent support: Direct relationships with Supermicro for parts and support

Redundant power supplies matter

Every dedicated server in our fleet includes redundant power supplies:

What is a redundant power supply?

Redundant power supply means servers have two (or more) power supply units (PSUs). Each PSU independently powers the entire server. If one fails, the other takes over instantly with zero downtime.

Benefits

  1. Zero downtime from PSU failure: Power supply failures are common hardware issues. With redundancy, PSU failure doesn’t affect servers.

  2. Hot-swappable replacement: Technicians replace failed PSUs without shutting down servers.

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

Dual power feeds at rack level

Redundant power supplies are only part of the equation. True power-related downtime protection requires redundancy at every level. That’s why each rack receives two separate power feeds from different sources:

How our rack power works

  • Two independent power feeds per rack: Each rack connects to two separate power distribution units (PDUs)
  • Different UPS systems: Each power feed comes from different Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems
  • Separate distribution paths: Two feeds follow separate electrical distribution paths within data centers

Why this matters

With dual power feeds:

  • UPS failure protection: If one UPS fails or goes into maintenance, servers continue 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, fully redundant power from utility to CPU

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 servers running without interruption.

Our reliability commitment

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