Global IT service, software and technology company Unisys operates a number of critical, highly secure data centre facilities that deliver a range of colocation and managed services. Keysource was engaged to undertake an audit of the St Just House Data Centre in Milton Keynes to evaluate the opportunities to modernise the facility’s M&E infrastructure and design.
Keysource was tasked with maximising the return from the University of Leicester’s real-estate, whilst also reviewing their IT Transformation strategy to ensure it has been optimised to overcome today’s challenges.
Having gone through periods of significant change, and in order to meet future expansion and passenger needs, the hub needed to ensure its data centre infrastructure was fit for purpose and secure for the future.
With a diverse data centre estate spread across the city, Leeds City Council needed an established partner that had proven expertise in managing and monitoring critical environments but also understood the critical nature of the applications and services the facilities support.
As Connexin’s technology partner, Keysource began working on a new technology campus in 2018. The campus will include a cutting edge data centre as well as Connexin’s new headquarters, which will allow the company to build out the team their next stage of growth.
Following on from the design and build of the University’s award winning HPC data centre in 2009 Keysource was chosen, in 2016, to support the University of Leicester’s entire data centre estate.
Keysource provides a seamless, responsive and proactive management of the maintenance services for the data centre estate in line with the University’s own strategic plan.
Keysource is responsible for providing a fully comprehensive critical facilities management at Garmin’s European headquarters in Southampton.
This contract, which is now in its fifth year, includes the management and maintenance of all critical equipment with 24/7 support.
This year’s State of the Industry Report is designed to give an insight into the decisions and considerations that UK IT directors and senior decision makers in the data centre industry are making, which in turn are influencing the market.
The Keysource 2020 State of the Industry Report, unsurprisingly, is dominated by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the technology changes and challenges that it has brought to business and its effect on people’s ability to work, their priorities and decision-making processes.
The data centre sector is continuing to experience a significant period of growth which is being driven by advances in technology and the need to support increasing user demand, as well as an exponential explosion in data.
