Air Handling Unit, UPS and battery cabinet upgrade completed for live data centre originally built by Secure I.T. Environments in 2009.
6 September 2022 – London, UK – Secure I.T. Environments Ltd, one of the UK’s leading design and build companies for modular, containerised and micro data centres, has today announced the completion of a two-phase data centre upgrade project for Johnson Service Group, the UK provider of textile rental and linen services to the hotel, catering and hospitality markets.
Chris Wellfair, Projects Director
The initial upgrade phase to the data centre, which was originally built by Secure I.T. Environments in 2009, was for the full replacement of the UPS system. This was upgraded to two Riello Multi Sentry (MST Series) 40 kVA UPS systems, with new 10-year battery cabinets complying to IEC60896-2 for construction, performance, and design life.
John Parry, Group IT Infrastructure Manager at Johnson Service Group, said, “Investing in our data centres is about much more than increased processing performance, storage, or speed. Our DCs are a critical asset to the business so maintaining them in a way that improves energy efficiency, reliability and prolongs their life, is vitally important. Secure I.T. Environments has been an important part of our digital transformation and a trusted provider.”
The second phase of the project saw the upgrade and replacement of the original air handling units in the data centre. This was undertaken in a phased approach, allowing the data centre to remain live, ensuring cooling capacity was not compromised and services remained available continuously. The phase was completed over a three week period with new energy efficient FlaktGroup Direct Expansion Multi-DENCO® air-cooled air handling units in a downflow configuration (internal compressors were matched to the external air-cooled condensers)
Chris Wellfair, Projects Director at Secure I.T. Environments, said, “We have a long standing relationship with Johnson Service Group, and it is always great to see the value over time a data centre we have designed delivers for an organisation. Like all data centres, the time comes to upgrade equipment either because of its end of life expectancy or because new more efficient innovations become available, and Johnsons is making those investments to get the most from its data centres in terms of performance and cutting running costs.”
Secure I.T. Environments provides ongoing maintenance for two Johnsons Services data centre sites, covering UPS, fire suppression, air conditioning, generator, room cleans and overall room maintenance.
