Design Overview
Workspace Technology delivered a diverse High Efficiency Next
Generation Data Centre for the Defence Infrastructure Organisation
(DIO). The project included construction of the room with secure
modular composite panel, electrical switchgear and distribution,
expansion of existing Schneider Electric / APC UPS Systems,
equipment racks, aisle containment, structured cabling and In-Row
cooling systems. Workspace Technology’s Power Generation team
also deployed a new 400kVA generator set with custom built external
switchgear. All installations were completed in line with current MOD
JSP standards.
‘Spend to Save’ Investment
Defence contractors are required to identify potential energy
reducing ‘spend-to-save’ opportunities and with the investment in
Next Generation Data Centre Infrastructure (NGDCI), the DIO lead
the way when it comes to reducing energy consumption while
increasing operational efficiency and maintaining exceptional levels
of service.
Through the incorporation of specialist energy monitoring
technology, the latest in energy efficient devices, including UPS and
PDU systems, combined and operated by a real time Data Centre
Integrated Management (DCIM) platform, the DIO operates a data
centre that performs at an industry leading level of efficiency.
