Leeds City Council looks to Sudlows for Data Centre upgrade
Sudlows, has successfully secured a contract to deliver a replacement electrical power plant for the primary ICT data centre at Leeds City Council.
The council requires an upgrade, to a Tier 2 specification, in order to provide power redundancy for the key ICT services provisioned from this particular data centre.
The data centre is currently supported by a legacy electrical infrastructure, which has evolved over time, and is not concurrent with the latest standards of efficiencies and technologies.
To ensure the data centre can provide the correct level of availability and redundancy, investment in the supporting electrical plant has been approved with Sudlows brought on board to assist with the power upgrade.
With such a highly critical environment, the efficiency and resilience of the upgrade is vital to avoid any kind of downtime.
Miles Allen, Critical Power Director at Sudlows said:
“The challenge of the project is to deliver an upgrade whilst maintaining full operational status of the data centre. With an increasing use by the local community for digital services it is vital that any facility is carefully designed to meet not only this growing demand for digital access, but that these services have a reliable as well as efficient power support”.
This £500,000 project is expected to be operational by Easter 2012.
