Micro Data Centres

Small Server Room, Communications Room & Wiring Closet, Infrastructure Solutions

Very often neglected small server room, comms room and wiring closet environments are typically located in unused office space, meeting rooms or even cupboards. They have typically developed from an initial deployment of a single equipment cabinet and as additional equipment and services evolve the rooms become cluttered, with poor I.T cabling, unsuitable power and inappropriate or undersized cooling systems.

In today’s expanding I.T deployments there are even greater pressures on power and cooling due the introduction of high density computing, blade servers and power hungry PoE IP switches.

Many of today’s I.T and Facilities Managers within both SME and Corporate businesses have inherited or own small comms rooms, server rooms & wiring closets, with poorly organized I.T cabling, unsuitable power and inappropriate or undersized cooling systems.

The criticality of computing and network functions performed in these environments is no less important than those functions performed in larger corporate data centres. Such ‘Micro’ Data Centres house critical core I.T functions critical to the operation of both SME and corporate business enterprises.

Workspace Technology’s “Micro” Data Centre Solutions address the fundamental power, cooling, wiring, security and environmental monitoring requirements of such facilities. We work with clients to help renovate, relocate and provide new build server room, comms room and wiring closet solutions and apply the same “best practice” design principles that are common place in large corporate data centres but for small rooms from 1 to 10 equipment racks.

“We believe that organisations with smaller IT infrastructures should have the same access to specialist Data Centre Design professionals as corporate organisations. We want IT managers of such organisations to be proud their Micro data centre and not embarrassed of it”

— Roy Griffiths, Sales and Technical Manager, Workspace Technology Ltd.
