Six areas of practice

Each is a standalone engagement. Most clients combine two or three.

Design and consulting

Master planning and engineering design for new facilities, and gap analysis for existing ones.

  • Data centre architecture and master planning
  • Capacity and load modelling
  • Electrical and mechanical design
  • Network and security architecture
  • Cooling and power strategy
  • Tier-aligned resilience planning
  • DCIM and monitoring architecture
  • Site selection and feasibility

Build and implementation

Fit-out, integration and commissioning of the active and passive infrastructure.

  • Construction and fit-out
  • UPS, DG, PDU and power distribution
  • Precision cooling and HVAC
  • Racks, containment and structured cabling
  • Fire detection and suppression
  • Physical security and access control
  • BMS and DCIM integration
  • Integrated systems testing and commissioning

Infrastructure management

Making the facility observable, and keeping that view accurate as it changes.

  • DCIM implementation and tuning
  • Real-time infrastructure monitoring
  • Asset register and lifecycle tracking
  • Power and environmental monitoring
  • Capacity management
  • Energy and PUE reporting
  • Alarm and event management
  • Digital twin and 5D simulation

Operations and managed services

Running the site day to day against an SLA, with the people and the process to back it.

  • 24×7 monitoring and remote management
  • Preventive and predictive maintenance
  • Incident, problem and change management
  • SLA management and reporting
  • Active and passive infrastructure AMC
  • Managed network and security
  • Helpdesk and field support
  • Spares management and vendor coordination

AI, IoT and intelligent operations

The layer that turns monitoring into anticipation.

  • IoT sensors and gateways
  • Edge computing nodes
  • Anomaly detection on live telemetry
  • Predictive maintenance models
  • AI-driven energy optimisation
  • Sovereign AI deployment
  • Digital twin synchronisation
  • Automated alerting and workflow

Sustainable and green data centre

Cutting the energy and water a facility consumes without trading away resilience.

  • Energy optimisation programmes
  • Renewable energy integration
  • PUE improvement roadmaps
  • Smart and free cooling strategies
  • Environmental monitoring
  • Carbon and energy analytics
  • Water usage monitoring
  • Sustainable design for new builds

Questions we get asked

Can you take over a facility somebody else built?

Yes. We start with a handover audit covering as-built accuracy, commissioning evidence, maintenance history and monitoring coverage, then agree an SLA against the real condition of the plant rather than the original design.

Do you supply equipment or only services?

Both. We are vendor-neutral on active and passive plant and will specify against your standards. Where you have no incumbent, we will put up options with the trade-offs stated.

What is covered by a comprehensive AMC?

Parts and labour for the covered plant, preventive maintenance to a published schedule, defined response and restoration times, and a spares holding agreed up front. Non-comprehensive covers labour, with parts billed as consumed.

How do you report against an SLA?

Monthly, with availability, incident and response performance, energy and PUE trend, capacity headroom, and anything that breached or came close. The same data is live in the helpdesk throughout the month.

Tell us what you are building

Send a brief, a floor plan or a single-line diagram. We reply with an approach, a rough capacity envelope and an honest view of what it takes to run.
