Energy Efficiency Assessment
Minimise energy costs and meet Carbon Reduction Commitments (CRC)
As well as being critical to business operations, server rooms and data centres consume enormous quantities of electrical power; only a proportion of which will actually be utilised by the IT equipment operating inside it. Comtec Power is highly experienced in driving improvements in this field, with a track record saving thousands of pounds of energy costs and thousands of tonnes of carbon emissions for its business and public sector clients.
We achieve this by combining our design, consultancy and management expertise with the most advanced technology innovations available. Given the opportunity to assess the specific power utilisation of your core IT infrastructure environment, Comtec Power can benchmark your efficiency potential and recommend a suite of improvement measures based upon its industry-leading methodology.
As they grow, and as IT strategy develops, data centre, server / communications room environments are also becoming increasing unpredictable. We can ensure their growth is managed efficiently, and that strategies such as virtualisation and high-density computing can flourish and benefit your business regardless of energy, space and resources constraints.
