Datacentre & Server Room
Scalable, adaptable and efficient Network Critical Physical Infrastructure
Comtec’s implements a best practice ‘eco-structure’ design to provide maximum efficiency in terms of space, energy use, carbon emissions and maintenance. By investing in best of breed infrastructure for power and backup, cooling, security, physical threat protection, monitoring, management and next generation connectivity, organisations can provide unrivalled performance and availability for your IT and communications assets.
Comtec uses APC’s InfraStruXure range of enclosures and rack-mountable UPS and cooling systems within the datacentre or server/communications room. The modularity afforded by this solution maximises the physical space and delivers power and cooling “right-sized” at a level that is appropriate for the actual demand and scales as capacity increases. The flexibility of this approach means that energy use is applied effectively. The integration and management of power and cooling elements in the architecture maximises efficiency savings. You are able to plan and design to the highest efficiency with modular UPS and close coupled cooling with design tools. This ensures your physical infrastructure adapts to business driven changes and that virtual loads always have healthy host environment. In addition, Comtec can help provide solutions to help organisations meet their sustainability goals by reclaiming heat from the datacentre for reuse into office heating systems.
Our goal is to create technically excellent facilities which are scalable and efficient to meet the power and cooling demands of latest generation IT equipment. Comtec Power has invested heavily in a datacentre demo-suite at its head office in Reigate, Surrey. This facility demonstrates the Comtec ‘eco-structure’ philosophy for datacentre design and provides existing and prospective customers with a tangible, functional example of datacentre best practice.
