Data Centre Building Services Assurance

The importance of data centres and cloud computing has been underlined by the COVID-19 pandemic. During the crisis, the data centre industry has provided essential support for the global economy, supporting a massive shift to online services for businesses, schools and not- for-profit organisations. Even before the pandemic, key players were looking to add data centre capacity to meet a growing demand for cloud-based services.

Through this growth, data centre service providers and businesses generally are increasingly reliant on their IT and telecommunications infrastructure, which has to be capable of continuous operation (24x7). The volume of data being processed has led to smaller, faster computers and servers maximising the utilisation of available space. But this performance increase comes at a cost; energy consumption and heat production per square metre are increasing. When minutes of downtime can affect business performance it is crucial that a building’s infrastructure is fully capable of supporting its business critical systems.
