A global technology company awarded Keysource a major data centre capacity expansion project in Hamburg, Germany, following a competitive tender process. The project included the design and build of an additional 400 rack data hall with 1MW of IT capacity and a concurrently maintainable solution.
The Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC) selected Keysource to undertake pre-construction services for the data centre upgrade at its Daresbury Laboratory facility in Warrington.
This involved supporting the live operation upgrade of the data centre facility which included the lifecycle replacement of critical power, cooling and protection systems.
A media provider, who is the largest global provider of video solutions, had a requirement to establish an improved operating model for its research and development and corporate IT environments.
Garmin is a global leader of automotive, fitness, outdoor, marine and aviation technologies. Keysource has been contracted to act as Garmin’s ‘design guardian’ to establish project budgets and design criteria, creating a concept design including a remote monitoring and management solution as well as the selection of all associated equipment.
A leading global market research company chose Keysource to provide multi-site remote monitoring across its global IT infrastructure. This includes 14 global offices, from San Francisco, to Frankfurt and Sydney.
Keysource operates the 24/7 service through a central global tool which is monitored from the company’s Network Operations Centre based in London.
This pharmaceutical giant employs nearly 9,000 people in over 120 countries, with revenues in excess of $3.4 Billion. Its companies share a common purpose to identify and accelerate the development of meaningful medicines that add value for patients and healthcare providers around the globe.
Following on from the original data centre build in 2009, Keysource worked with Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS) to deliver an innovative chiller free design, providing 100% indirect free cooling. This enabled PGS to reduce capital and ongoing expenditure without compromising on availability or performance.
The Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC) after a competitive process, has chosen Keysource, the global data centre and critical environment specialist, to provide ongoing maintenance and emergency response service for the existing and new critical data centre plant and infrastructure at its STFC Daresbury Laboratory Data centre facility in Warrington.
Under the terms of the maintenance and support agreement, Keysource will provide coordinated, planned preventative maintenance (PPM) along with a 24×7 help desk and technical response and emergency response to site in the event of any issues. Regulatory compliance will be ensured, and manufacturer warranties maintained and managed where applicable.
The contract award follows on from the recent completion by Keysource of the data centre upgrade at the Daresbury Laboratory facility. That project involved supporting the live operation upgrade of the data centre facility which includes the lifecycle replacement of critical power, cooling and protection systems. This enabled collaboration with STFC to plan the works and mitigate risk to the high-performance computing load which remained available throughout the upgrade.
Jon Healy, Operations Director at Keysource, said: “STFC carries out research in science and engineering, and funds UK research and innovation in areas including particle physics, nuclear physics, space science and astronomy. As such, the security of its data is key and we are pleased to be supporting them in achieving their objectives of resilience and sustainability.”
The global pandemic has accelerated widespread digital transformation for businesses of all sizes. This has meant a greater need for remote working and collaborative practices which in turn means an increase in demand for having data and services ‘in the cloud’ which has now become a necessity. The question is how can organisations best manage this?
