Data centre solutions

In a data centre every change has to be carried out carefully. Our engineers support expansions, migrations, cabling and technical work in racks and suites. To your procedures, your schedule and the agreed change windows.

What is going on

Continuity comes first

In a data centre, day-to-day management, expansions, changes and faults all carry on at once. Work therefore has to be planned and executed carefully, with as little impact as possible on the existing environment.

Our engineers support technical work in racks, suites and data centre spaces. From a single intervention to complete expansions and migrations, aligned with your procedures, schedule and change windows.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

What we hear most often in this sector

Work has to happen inside a tight change window

Expansions and migrations have to be prepared carefully and completed within the agreed window.

Extra technical capacity is needed on site

An engineer of your own is not always immediately available for planned work or interventions.

Documentation and the physical situation have to match

After changes, patching, labelling and documentation have to line up again with what was actually done in the rack.

A migration has to happen while the environment stays live

Equipment and links are moved or replaced with as little impact as possible on existing services.

Not every site has an engineer nearby

You are not present daily at every data centre location, while planned work and technical interventions still have to go ahead there.

Hardware has to be phased out in a controlled way

Equipment and cabling have to be disconnected, removed and, where needed, recorded and disposed of correctly.

OUR ROLE IN THIS SECTOR

What data centres call us in for

Rack build and pre-installation

Racks can be built, cabled and tested in advance in our workshop. On site we handle placement, connection and the final checks.

Cabling and fibre splicing

Installation and expansion of copper and fibre links, including fibre splicing, testing and clear handover documentation.

Hands on the floor

An experienced engineer for technical work in your data centre, to your instructions, procedures and schedule.

Testing and certification

OTDR testing and certification of existing infrastructure, even when the original contractor is long gone.

Migration and decommissioning

Moving, replacing or removing equipment and links in a controlled way, including a record and documentation of the work carried out.

Monitoring and management

Monitoring with an agreed response time, so a fault is not first noticed by your customer.

CUSTOMER STORY

Two suites expanded without a single minute of downtime

A hosting provider in Amsterdam expanded with two suites while the existing environment stayed fully in production. Work was only possible between ten at night and six in the morning, with approval granted night by night.
