In 2018, ERDC's Information Technology Lab (ITL) partnered with Entergy to address the need for a backup power solution for their two computing facilities in Vicksburg, Mississippi that were in construction at that time. ITL will soon have new generators installed which will double the capacity of backup power available to their 10,000 sq. feet of raised supercomputing floor space. This addition will also support Vicksburg’s power needs during peak energy usage times. The low-cost upgrade is part of an innovative public/private partnership with Entergy of Mississippi, who will both install and maintain the capability.
