Among the solutions SRA provides in partnership with major technology partners are the power distribution units ( PDUs ) that feed the racks , and the uninterrupted power supply ( UPS ) products from firms like ABB that ensure that backup kicks in without delay in the event of any power failure . To satisfy government contracts , all this equipment is required to meet the demands of the internationally recognised Security Construction and Equipment Committee ( SCEC ) standard .
