Secure I.T. Environments Ltd (SITE) has successfully completed a crucial fire suppression upgrade for the Isle of Wight (IoW) Council’s primary data centre and communications room located at County Hall in Newport. As part of the project, SITE has also secured a four-year maintenance contract for the newly installed suppression system.
The upgrade project for the council’s 221m³ data centre involved a comprehensive design phase, followed by the decommissioning of the existing fire suppression system and the installation of the new system.
