Datacentre / Office Relocation
Do you have a data centre, a comms room or a bunch of servers in a dark room? Whatever you call it, the place where you keep your most important systems and the technologies they are based on, is changing.
Consolidation seems to be the hot topic of the day and it’s easy to see why. Not only can you dramatically reduce cost by centralising and consolidating your systems, but you can also reduce complexity and hopefully avoid the dreaded all nighters that come from unexpected downtime - click here for more information.
But consolidation creates its own problems. How do you ensure you have the physical space, power, cooling, security and skills to run this critical environment?
It’s a tough one. For some it means an overhaul of an existing data centre, for others a new facility is what is required. One thing is for sure. Whether you’re upgrading, implementing or moving a data centre, it will be a major effort with lots of risk and you really don’t want to get it wrong.
That’s where we can help. If you are looking at upgrading the technologies within your data centre, we have unrivalled expertise and some of the best people in the industry.
Sure, many companies can claim they know about storage or servers, but there are very few companies that have the depth of expertise across all of the critical aspects of a data centre infrastructure such as gigabit networking, communications, operating systems and management platforms as well as servers and storage.
One of our customers needed to increase the availability of their systems and make them easier to manage. We worked with them to specify £7m dual lights-out data centre environment and then designed and delivered the infrastructure within it.
If you need a new primary facility or maybe a backup data centre for disaster recovery we also may be able to help. We provide managed data centre services from simple hosting right up to full infrastructure management within one of our own data centres.
For example, one of the world’s largest on-line retailers chose 2e2 to design, provision and manage their new data centre facility including the implementation of the UK’s largest retail industry Internet connection.
We can also work with you or take complete ownership for a data centre or office relocation project. We have very specific expertise in this area and have relocated some of the largest and most mission critical data centres in Europe without a single second of downtime.
