Over time all data centres or technology rooms are impacted by general dirt and contamination. This contamination takes many forms such as plaster and concrete dust from impact damage, shredded fan belts from air conditioning systems or zinc whiskers on the surfaces of floor tiles. These forms of contamination, plus many others, build up over time and have a greater and greater effect on the reliability and availability of the systems installed.
Poor quality power is one of the main reasons for intermittent and niggling IT problems. Many issues which seem to be software or network related are in fact caused as a direct result of bad power services. Often, despite careful planning and expensive environmental systems such as UPS’s, problems can still exist.
Whether you are moving house, or into a new office building the process of packing everything up and finding a secure safe method of relocating your expensive assets can be hard work. It’s the same for relocating your essential IT equipment.
END2END Services have strategic partners who specialise in the secure and safe movement of IT servers, switches, rack’s and associated accessories. Providing a full packing and relocation service with full insured technicians, your computer room can be easily relocated to its new home.
As a maintenance client of END2END Services, your data centre environmental systems will already be benefiting from regular service visits. However, we all know that data centres, computer rooms, even small comms rooms deteriorate over time. To help address these issues and ensure your data centre environment continues to support your IT systems and staff, END2END offer an annual audit service.
With budgets coming under ever increasing pressure to do more with less, IT Managers are now faced with the challenge of responding to data centre environmental equipment failures, both during and outside of normal work hours without increasing costs.
By providing an offsite monitoring service, END2END Services can combine our IT operational experience along with our understanding of data centre environmental systems to offer you a remote monitoring service to meet your needs.
Data centres, computer and server rooms are a business’s critical hub. Needless to say then, in this busy world both Facilities and IT Managers have to be comfortable that their data centre environmental systems are well maintained, regularly serviced and they have access to experienced engineers should the worse happen and a call out is required.
The creation of any new Data Centre, Call Centre or Technology Room is a major undertaking for any organisation. Getting it right is essential to ensuring your room meets all of your requirements, including your budget.
END2END’s success in designing and building your fit for purpose data centre, comes from putting the time in upfront to ensure we understand your business drivers and the full purpose of the room. Just like purchasing a property, there is no point in spending money only to have a data centre that does not produce a return on such a large investment.
The installation of new IT equipment within the data centre is a frequent occurrence. Whether it’s due to new applications, growth or technology refreshes, the same detailed installation planning processes are required.
With the push for greater efficiency running data centre power and cooling, Computational Fluid Dynamics Modelling (CFD) is becoming an essential tool for many organisation.
This specialist software used combines numerical analysis and algorithms to solve and analyse airflows. High performance computers perform the calculations required to simulate the interaction within your room, thus simulating the effectiveness of your data centre cooling.
