Design of a Data Center

Whether you are building a new data center or providing for the ever increasing power and cooling demands in a current facility, your project will require a mix of data center specific talent and expertise including: engineering, mechanical and electrical contracting, business analysis, and project management.

Emerson Systems has been a leader in providing data center solutions. We understand the special requirements of mission critical facilities and will create the most cost effective solution that meets the demanding availability needs of your business.

Electrical Installation in Data Centers

Many data centers predate the industry’s focus on efficient technologies. From design through technology selection and installation, initial costs and uptime were the focal points because power was not a major expense or energy availability a consideration. Concerns about costs related to power consumption and the impact of the data center on the environment had not entered the corporate consciousness. At Emerson Systems, Our work is to ensure your organisation meets the required standards in design of data centers.

Data Center Maintenance

All data center designs are judged by their ability to provide continuous operations for the network services they support. When construction of the data center is complete, Emerson Systems offers a preventive maintenance service agreement to ensure reliable operation of the critical systems installed. Since we designed and built your facility, we have a thorough understanding of these systems. Therefore, our management and field technicians are in the best position to provide superior service and data center operations support.

A comprehensive service plan is specifically designed to provide preventive maintenance, reliable 24/7 emergency service and corrective service for the data center.

Emerson Systems will manage the plan through our selected service affiliates and will contract directly with each supplier of the described services. An Emerson Systems Coordinator will be responsible for:

  • Developing an annual preventive maintenance schedule
  • Coordination and tracking of all service visits
  • Physical site inspecting
  • Review of invoices for additional services
  • Review of all service reports
  • Resolution of service issues 

Data Center Auditing

Carrying out an audit of your data Center may seem like an unnecessary expense. However, this is almost always not the case. Data Center is an IT Asset for any organization that supports business operations.

Being a mission critical infrastructure of the organization, the following aspects to be ensured periodically:

  • High Availability of Data Center Services to Business.
  • Technical Adequacy of Data Center Components that meets the specifications and standards set for the business.
  • Information Security of Data Center (Physical, Environmental etc.)
  • Scalability of Data Center Services if the business is expanded.
  • An audit of any Data Center or computer room environment, whatever its size, by an independent specialist will help you to identify where costs can be recovered or where investment is needed to ensure it meets your business need.

Data Center Cooling

The cooling infrastructure is a significant part of a data center. The complex connection of chillers, compressors and air handlers create the optimal computing environment, ensuring the longevity of the servers installed within and the vitality of the organization they support. At Emerson Systems, our experienced engineers ensure that your data center is efficient.

Emerson Systems is a leading provider of telecommunication power systems for the telecommunications industry. Emerson Systems provides DC and AC backup power systems in indoor, outdoor enclosures or as rack mount devices to meet different applications. The company’s telecom power systems are widely used in wireless and fixed line environments and are applicable to network equipment, xDSL terminal, mobile broadband, cellular sites, and transmission applications.

For low site power loads and where renewable power sources are an option hybrid systems can save operators millions of dollars per annum across a network. We provide two types of hybrid energy systems: a battery cycling hybrid generator solution and a renewable energy based hybrid solution. Both types reduce the cost per kilowatt hour of energy delivered to a site.

The battery cycling hybrid system comprises a Basic48 or Quiet48 generator and a battery bank (either lead acid or a lithium ion). The generator charges up the battery bank and the site runs off the batteries for several hours or longer, reducing generator run-time and ensuring that the generator is running at high load where it is most efficient. Such systems can provide significant savings in fuel and maintenance costs compared to continuously-running AC generator solutions.

The renewable hybrid system combines a Basic48 or Quiet48 generator with a renewable energy solution based around wind, solar, micro hydro (or a combination of these renewable resources). The renewable energy device is monitored and controlled via an interface into the Remote System Controller within the generator; and the system seamlessly interfaces into the Controllis Remote Management Server, providing reports on renewable usage and system condition. In markets with feed-in tariffs, advanced renewable controllers can enable site operators to earn financial returns from excess energy produced. Our Hybrid solutions can be supplied as single box (combining fuel tank generator and batteries) or as separate components.

Our Managed Service provides the complete solution for the management and maintenance across any cell site estate. The regular Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) as well as Operational Reactive Maintenance (ORM) of cell sites adds complexity to the day-to-day business of operating a network. Network operators or those managing the cell site maintenance on their behalf are able to offload this essential task to us as an outsourced service. With both PPM and ORM included, the service enables maintenance schedules to be rationalised to include network upgrades, decommissioning and refurbishment programs.

This holistic approach improves efficiency and reduces cost. For example, by streamlining the scheduling of different engineering teams into unique windows we avoid conflicts and the need to reschedule additional calls to site which increase costs. Geography and terrain are no barriers. From the most remote rural to the most inaccessible urban cell site, Allen Bradley Systems Deploys engineering teams that have the expertise to ensure your network assets are properly maintained and problems rapidly rectified.
