Infrastructure
As computers get smaller, they consume more power and, as a result, generate more heat. More heat means harder working chillers, so the demand for power grows again. Overheating is a sure way of increasing failure and thereby reducing resilience.
The next generation of Data and Control centres will be even more dependent on the basic hosting infrastructure that underpins their reliability and resilience. Any Data Centre, computer room or control room is only as good as the supporting services which maintain the environment required for the equipment to function. This environment must be maintained 24/7 or the equipment within the room could fail, with potentially catastrophic consequences for the business which it supports.
It is therefore essential that these facilities are designed to ensure that redundancy and resiliency of equipment is incorporated in to the initial plan and is not added as an afterthought, which is normally inefficient and costly.
ECA’s engineers specify and supply all the critical service functions required to ensure your facility provides a working and standards-compliant environment, including electrical power distribution, UPS, humidity control, leak detection, lighting, standby generators, HVAC, fire detection & suppression, BMS and building works.
