Secure I.T. Environments completes data centre upgrades

Secure I.T. Environments Ltd (SITE), one of the UK’s leading design and build companies for modular, containerised and micro data centres, has completed mechanical, electrical and cooling upgrades for three data centres at a leading UK transportation company.

Working in a live environment where a phased approach was essential to ensure supply chains and just in time logistics requirements from customers were not impacted, the works comprised:

· Phased installation of new energy efficient cooling in data centre A with three GEA Multi-DENCO Energy Efficient DX air conditioning units, and related mechanical and electrical works.

· Decamp data centre B and C, re-locate patch panels, supply new cable management racks, install CAT6 cable runs to new racks and additional structured cabling

· Install new 60-minute fire rated panels to split data centre B

· Relocate UPS from data centre B to data centre A, and upgrade to Multi Power rack mount MPW CBC 130 UPS solution with 84kVA N+1 of power and 5 battery strings

· Decommission the existing generator, supply and install a Kohler D275 275kVA generator on a new concrete base

· A contract to provide on-going maintenance for the site

Chris Wellfair, Projects Director at Secure I.T. Environments, said: “Today’s transport and supply chain infrastructures are always connected, working around the clock to ensure that goods reach companies and consumers across the country. Keeping the mission critical data centres running to support this key industry is vital, but they also need to be maintained. Our expertise in managing mission critical data centre environments ensured these upgrades were successful and will ensure operations are as energy efficient as possible going forward.”
