DATA CENTRES AND SERVER ROOMS – SYSTEM DESIGN

Data centre design

Design

In today’s digital age, organisations rely on mission critical data centres and server rooms to be efficient, reliable and secure.

We work closely with our clients at the design stage to ensure they have clarity on the risks, benefits and costs associated with the numerous system specifications that need to be finalised in order to deliver a turnkey data centre or server room project fit-for-purpose and within budget.

DATA CENTRES AND SERVER ROOMS – SYSTEM DESIGN

Key areas of importance

The five typical key areas of importance that need to be considered in the design of a data centre or server room are the following:

  • Architectural
  • Electrical
  • Mechanical (cooling)
  • Data
  • Security

Each of the above requires detailed analysis to ensure optimisation with respect to the following:

  • Tier level
  • Topology (fault tolerance, concurrent maintainability, etc.)
  • Uptime
  • Capacity requirement for day one
  • Capacity for future requirements
  • Build processes and costs
  • Maintenance processes and costs
  • Compliance (compulsory)
  • Standards (optional)

Design outcomes

A well designed, built and maintained data centre or server room ensures a reliable, efficient and cost-effective and secure location for your critical ICT equipment. Conversely, errors and oversights during the design and implementation stages can lead to costly and ineffective project outcomes.

Our turnkey data centre and server room offerings are available for outright purchase, lease to own or monthly/annual rental/hire.
