Audits

Using an assured auditing process, and drawing upon our experience working within datacentres, we can assess the overall health of your facility and provide a detailed report and design recommendations.

Methodology

Equipment Layout and Room Schematics

  • Survey and measure room, with all main items of equipment plotted
  • All room structure dimensions, and positioning of server and networking cabinets
  • Air-conditioning units, UPS’s, MDF, fire suppression, EPO
  • Electrical distribution and switchgear, lighting and fire suppression

Datacentre Description and Report Including Photographs

  • Detailed description including photographs of each element within the room Includes server cabs, electrical db schedules and description
  • Full report providing detailed findings of our audit including the identification of risk and poor performance

Thermal Imaging

  • Identify hotspots within cabinets, enabling preventative mesures to be undertaken to minimise hardware failure
  • Identify hotspots within electrical infrastructure
  • Identify other problematic areas, such as hidden heating pipes or air leakage
  • Full report and recommendations

Temperature and relative humidity logging

  • Provide graphical data highlighting ambient conditions within the Datacentre
  • Minimum, maximum and average Temperature and relative humidity within the room over a period of time
  • Full report and recommendations

Temperature and Relative Humidity Probing

  • Temperature and relative humidity probing at specific points within the Datacentre
  • At cabinet level, (at air intake and exhaust) and cooling/return air paths
  • Full report and recommendations

Lighting Levels

  • LUX readings taken at the relavent working plane to ensure the correct levels in accordance with the CIBSIE guidelines and Health & Safety working practises

Power Monitoring

  • Full graphical analysis of power conditions over a set period of time
  • Load per phase/ph, kW per phase/ph, kVA per phase/ph
  • Summation and total loadings to all above, Power factors
  • Snap shot harmonics analysis and waveform captures
  • Full report and recommendations
