Consultation Services for Data Center Design & Implementation

We provide consultation services in Design and Implementation of Data Centers. Organizations across the board require data center facilities that will be modeled either as:

• Enterprise Data center.
• Managed Hosting Data Centers
• Co-Location Data Centers

Organizations will require data centers that conform to well established infrastructure standards. We design data centers that meet the following international standards:

• TIA 942 - American based Telecommunication Infrastructure Standards
• CENELEC EN 501743 - Information Technology Generic Cabling Systems Part5: data Centers
• ISO/IEC 24764 - Information Technology Generic cabling for Data Centers (international Standard)
• ANSI/BICSI 002-2011 - Data Center Design and implementation Best Practices (both Brtish and American)

Our comprehensive consultation services encompass the data Center Design as discussed below:

Service Availability

Uptime Institute Tier levels including main design considerations and development of a project management plan.

Data Center Location

We will advice on guidelines to follow when choosing a suitable site including other recommendations as per the standards.

Data Center Structure

These includes standards to be strictly followed for walls, ceiling height, floor landing, raised floor hanging capacity, fire doors, lighting and décor, emergency lighting, exit signs, wiring requirements and general requirements. This will also include cabling-biased, equipment-biased and balanced designs and airflow management.

Cabling in the Data Center

This covers cabling categories, 10GBaseT, 10GbE, twisted pair, pre-terminated cabling, cable and patch cord identifiers, cable pathway systems, optical fiber cabling and intelligent infrastructure management. We shall advice on the standards that are required under TIA and EN 501743 standards.

 

 

 

Power Management/Usage

Standards here determine calculations of power requirements, backup power equipment, standby generators and power in the rack.

Cooling Systems Best Practices

We will advice on operational parameters, air change requirements, hot-isle cold-isle design and different types of cooling systems.

 

 

 

Earthing and Bonding

Applicable standards, Signal Reference Grids (SRG), and System Reference Potential plane (SRPP).

Codes of Conduct for Fire Safety

Standards based regulations and code, fire safety plans and fire detection and prevention systems.

Security and Access Control

Access to data centers, access control systems and IP Surveillance (formally CCTV)
