Your in-house IT Infrastructure requires a controlled environment, with considerations for:
-Redundant Power
-Cooling / Ventilation
-Adequate racks that will properly fit your devices
-Physical Security
-Access for technicians to work on equipment without causing inadvertent outage
-Space to grow and replace equipment while systems are live
-Clear labelling for identifying systems and connections
-Organised cabling systems
-OH&S and applicable building rules
Getting these things right can be an expensive and time-consuming process. Getting these things wrong is almost always more expensive and time-consuming, and can cause many headaches in operation.
We’ve seen and worked in many of the kinds of closets, cabinets, storage rooms that are typical quick-fixes for smaller organisations. We’ve also worked in properly designed small dedicated server rooms as well as proper Data Centres.
We’ve developed server rooms to suit a range of businesses and tenancies – including some ground-up builds where we’ve consulted on and built fully redundant server rooms with A+B supplies, redundant power, redundant efficient cooling, automated generator power backup, considering all aspects.
We are very competitively priced in this aspect and can work to just about any customer budget, as there are many substitutions that can be made, carefully, to increase value. Of course all come with their owns costs in terms of overall resiliency and the factors mentioned above. We consult and explain what can be expected with the inclusion, omission or substitution of each aspect so you can achieve the best balance available for your business.
