The works, which are the latest in a series of projects SITE has conducted for the trust in recent years, upgrade a series of key infrastructure areas, replacing technology that was reaching the end of its serviceable life, and brings new features and benefits, such as improved energy efficiency.
Upgrades completed include design, supply and install new fire suppression system, including extraction and external status units; replacement of existing lighting with an LED solution with PIR sensors; supply and installation of Riello Multi Power UPS capable of 30-minutes autonomy at full load in N+1 configuration; installation of new environmental monitoring system; and power supply works to support new systems.
“Planned maintenance and upgrades is a key part of the data centre lifecycle. With strong long-term planning, upgrades and the replacement of equipment can be phased and managed more easily from a budget perspective. Such upgrades often bring new features and benefits, and usually cut the running costs of the data centre once live, and lower risk,” said Chris Wellfair, Projects Director at Secure I.T. Environments.
