Capacity Planning

Capacity Planning

Ongoing capacity planning is an essential discipline required to meet the changing demands of any organisation.  Throughout the life cycle of any data centre or computer room facility, organisations need to ensure their environments and individual racks can support the power and cooling requirements of their IT estate; all whilst also sustaining their required resilience levels. 

Technology Room Design

Technology Room Design

Technology rooms is a generic term END2END use to describe a genre of rooms that at their core deliver a range of technical solutions to your organisation.  These rooms include presentation suites, operations centres, control rooms, video conference suites and training centres. 

Regardless of the room usage, they are generally designed with a specific set of core functional requirements to deliver key business objectives from within the room.  These functional requirements could include technologies such as:

Design Advocacy

Design Advocacy

END2END pride themselves on their ability to complete entire build projects, but for times when a client only needs the design element to be managed, with other contractors delivering the solution, our design advocacy services provide a welcome quality assurance to the project.

Consultancy

END2END Consultancy

Some clients know they need a data centre or a facility to house their technology, but simply don’t know where to start.  Or maybe, they know what they need but aren’t sure how to confirm it is being delivered to specification. This is where END2END’s consultancy service can help.

Bringing together all the elements needed to help you as a business understand and define the final design and implementation of your new data centre or technology room, we can help you through every stage of the process.

Computer Room Cleaning

Computer Room Cleaning

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.

CFD (Thermal Modelling)

CFD Modelling

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.

Data Centre Energy Efficiency Survey

ENERGY EFFICIENCY SURVEY

With the increasing demand for access to information technology and data by business users, changes in the data centre are inevitable.  And yet it's a fact that few changes are ever performed with a holistic view of the entire environment.  The outcome of this are data centres and computers rooms that grow without any real attention to their efficiency or return on investment.
