Keysource, the data centre and critical environment specialist, has announced the key findings of this year’s industry survey which 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.
Keysource has successfully completed a critical upgrade for The Medical Protection Society (MPS) at its on-premise data centre in Leeds. This latest project builds on a 17-year relationship between the two businesses, during which Keysource has provided full support across MPS’ technical estate.
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.”
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 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.
