Site Selection: Selecting a particular space based on: suitability of location, EMC risks, flood risks, help minimise cost, and verify that critical telecommunications and other service needs will be met.
Assessment: Data Center Assessment services will provide insight into the facility power, cooling and space layout, utilization, level of redundancy, site conditions and risk exposure and single-point of failures through a rigorous on-site inspection.
Design Service: We design all Data centers according to the world standard Certified Data Center Tier Design from Uptime institute USA; and complying TIA942, and BICSI international standards in designing all types of Data Center solutions, meeting growing business needs and using the latest technology and design processes governed by Uptime institute standards.
Computer room analysis: Define shape and size of an ideal computer room from the IT equipment needed, plus expansion plans.
Power supply analysis: Accurate sizing of UPS, switchgear, generators and utility input in terms of peak and average demand
HVAC analysis: Optimised air conditioning model depending upon equipment densities required
Building layout: All the relevant working spaces are defined, e.g. control area, cable entrance facility, equipment build area etc
Work space optimisation: The flow of people and equipment through the building is optimised for the best working environment
Cabling design: A generic structured cabling system will be designed to provide fleibility and long term performance
Fire detection and fire suppression: A suitable fire detection and suppression system will be specified
Security and access control: Appropriate security, CCTV and access control will be specified
Reliability, resilience and business continuity: The design will be aligned to the TIA 942, Uptime Institute or BICSI Tier systems, as appropriate, which call for N, N+1 or 2N designs. Capitoline will advise on the most relevant cost versus risk model for the client
