Why AI-ready infrastructure starts with the data, not the GPU Artificial Intelligence is rapidly moving from experimentation into production. Organisations are investing in GPU clusters, high-performance storage, private AI infrastructure and hybrid cloud architectures. The conversation is increasingly about inference, model performance, power density, cooling and the economics of running AI at scale. But there […]
We are seeing a massive shift in client conversations. More and more enterprises are approaching us wanting to jump into the next era of high-performance computing. They are looking to deploy cutting-edge AI infrastructure, specifically NVIDIA HGX H200 or the next-generation Blackwell Ultra B300 nodes. But there is a recurring roadblock. While organizations know they […]
The digital infrastructure landscape is undergoing a permanent transformation. As Schneider Electric pivots to subscription-based models for platforms like EcoStruxure IT, businesses must adapt their infrastructure strategies to manage high-density AI workloads, ensuring physical resilience, not just digital monitoring. The Convergence: Dense Hardware Meets Subscription Realities Transitioning to subscription models is a necessary step as […]
Powering the AI Return: Solving the Physical Constraints of On-Site Inference As enterprise data strategies adapt to the cost constraints of public hyperscalers, major hardware manufacturers like NetApp and Dell are introducing flexible AI-As-A-Service (AIaaS) models. These frameworks allow companies to place specialized AI compute blocks and petabyte-scale storage arrays directly inside their own buildings, […]
For the last decade, the enterprise computing narrative was simple: migrate everything to the public cloud. But as Artificial Intelligence transitions from experimental proofs-of-concept into full-scale production, a massive architectural rebalancing has begun. Enterprises are waking up to a stark operational reality—the continuous cost of running autonomous AI agents inside public cloud factories is fundamentally […]
Every IT transformation starts with small steps. CleanCloud Lite helps you capture quick wins first — then build towards long-term resilience. Quick Wins Endpoint monitoring. Backup automation. Unified comms adoption. Strategic Growth Device lifecycle management. Datacentre resilience (via ESMM). AI-ready IT capacity planning.

Cloud isn’t everything – datacentres still power the enterprise. CleanCloud Lite ties directly into Comtec Power’s ESMM Enterprise Stack to ensure datacentre resilience and efficiency. The Role of Datacentres AI workloads need predictable power and cooling. Compliance (PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, NHS standards). Multi-site complexity needs robust planning. ESMM Enterprise Stack Tie-In Assess: full datacentre audit. […]
Hybrid working is here to stay, but many organisations still juggle a patchwork of comms tools. UCaaS (Unified Communications as a Service) simplifies this by combining voice, video, messaging, and collaboration in one. The Challenge Too many apps. Missed messages and miscommunication. Poor integration with remote/hybrid working. CleanCloud UCaaS One platform for calls, video, and […]
Buying laptops, desktops, and mobile devices outright ties up capital and leaves IT with the headache of refresh cycles. Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) solves this with a predictable OPEX model. The Traditional Model Large upfront CAPEX costs. Devices go out of warranty and support. Inconsistent performance across the workforce. Why DaaS Wins Predictable monthly cost. Automatic refresh […]
Downtime costs. Lost data costs even more. For sectors like healthcare, finance, and education, compliance failures also bring heavy fines. That’s why backup and recovery must be automatic, verifiable, and compliant. The Risks Without Robust Backup Ransomware encryption with no recovery option. Compliance penalties (GDPR fines can hit €20m or 4% of revenue). Productivity loss […]
Endpoints are where modern attacks start. Over 70% of breaches originate from compromised laptops, mobiles, or unmanaged devices. For mid-enterprise organisations, this is a critical risk. The Endpoint Threat Landscape Phishing, ransomware, credential theft. Patch fatigue – devices falling behind. Shadow IT: unmanaged apps and devices. Why Monitoring is Crucial 24/7 monitoring reduces detection time […]
The IT landscape is changing fast. Cyber threats, AI-driven workloads, compliance obligations, and squeezed budgets mean mid-enterprise organisations face the same risks as global players, but without the same resources. CleanCloud Enterprise Lite was designed for exactly this challenge. Challenges Mid-Enterprise Faces More endpoints than ever (remote/hybrid workforce). Rising cyberattacks on SMEs/mid-market. Compliance (GDPR, ISO, […]
In healthcare settings, even a brief power loss or an overheated comms room can have far-reaching consequences. From disrupted patient records to downtime in critical services, the stakes are high. Since 2020 we have been helping several NHS trusts and private healthcare organisations to assess the state of their communications rooms and address the often-overlooked […]
On Wednesday 9th October 2024, Nick Claxson, CEO of Comtec, had the honour of representing the UK’s EcoXpert Partners at Schneider Electric’s Global Service Partner event. The event brought together over 200 leaders worldwide to discuss innovation and sustainability, topics central to the future of the technology and energy industries. As one of APC by […]
In an era where uninterrupted power supply and efficient room environment management are vital for organisations, Comtec has emerged as a trailblazer in addressing these critical needs. Over the past few years, Comtec has recognised and responded to the concerns of clients with large UPS estates. One of the primary concerns our clients have brought […]
The nature of today’s IT equipment means that even small datacentres cannot function without some form of precision cooling solution, and the starting point for many will be CRACs. CRACs are an established technology deployed in thousands of datacentres, but what is the argument for deploying it in yours? How does it stack up against […]
Datacentres contain a host of sensitive IT equipment which are hungry for electrical power.
With so much energy being consumed by data centre equipment, heat quickly builds up and cooling it all has become an expensive necessity in order to protect systems from failure.
Datacentres have employed cooling solutions ever since the first one got too hot and someone opened a window.
Most IT professionals understand what a UPS is, but fewer are confident knowing exactly how big it needs to be to ensure their datacentre or comms/server room has enough power in case of emergency.
Mid, Large, and Multinational Sizes Covered
