Who are Data Centre
Consultancy Services for?

- Strategic direction
- Cost efficiencies
- Risk management
- Vendor selection
- Design & planning
- Maintenance
- Sustainability Initiatives
- Scaling & growth
- Compliance & regulation
- Upgrades & modernisation
- Performance optimisations
- Disaster recovery & business continuity
Data Centre Consultancy Services
Typically, we offer you a bespoke service comprised of a mix of these.
However, all 4 core services (below) can also be delivered as standalone solutions.
Strategy
Plan & optimise for what your business needs
Transform your existing infrastructure to meet the changing needs of your business. No matter what you wish to achieve, we act as your strategic partner – helping you with recommendations, cost-modeling, timescale planning, feasibility studies, and more.
Audit
Gain 100% visibility across your environment
We carry out a full review and asset inventory so you know exactly what you have and how it's performing. This makes it easier to pinpoint hidden issues, identify cost-saving and scaling opportunities, and properly monitor everything going forward.
Design
Looking to design a scalable, secure custom environment that's eco- & cost-efficient?
Our certified design team can help you with everything from site selection to space planning. Ensure you have the optimal power, cooling, and network infrastructure before you deploy. Plus, our engineers can build and deploy your proposed solution with minimal business disruption.
Assessment
Identify opportunities for improvement, optimisation & growth
Unlike an audit—which focuses on giving you visibility over your entire environment—an assessment focuses on specific areas of your critical environment. Assessments often precede and inform strategic and design services. Assessments are also helpful as a standalone if you need more insight or a second opinion.
