n Fire resistant access doors & wall partitions


n Secure entry and monitored user only air lock entry system


n Centrally managed and environmentally intelligent air-conditioning system


n Very early smoke detection apparatus (Vesda) and Inert gas fire suppression system


n Environmental building management system creating a comfortable and secure environment


n Designed to accommodate our most exacting government clients, the facility is built to SEAP Level 3 standards


Security – 24/7 n Comprehensive protection through 24/7/365 on-site security, perimeter fencing and intruder alarm system


n Robust information security management standards through our ISO 27001 compliance


n Alarmed and monitored access points with perimeter security cameras and internal CCTV monitors


n Door access controls with pre-authorised access to identified personnel


Power - Diverse Supplies n 8 MVA supplied directly off the national grid


n Dual power feeds supplied from sub-station, diversely routed into the building


n Protected by N+1 diesel generators n Each generator has a diesel day tank fed from a 50,000 litre supply, providing a continuous run time of 72 hours


n Racks can be independently fed from dual, enterprise class UPS systems for resilience


n Power monitoring to individual racks and customer power zones


Air-Conditioning – Efficient


Cooling n Cooling infrastructure centrally managed and linked to the buildings management system


n “Free” air cooling maximises efficiency n Hot aisle / cold aisle air-conditioning and pre-provisioned chilled water capability to accommodate high density requirements


Connectivity n Choice of network carriers and diverse cable routing into facility providing flexibility and resilience


n Cole Valley 1 is a Virgin Media point of interconnection giving almost unlimited capabilities for the provision of WAN and Internet services.


n Core dense wavelength divisional multi-plexing (DWDM) fibres running between our two Data Centres provides the capability to deliver a wide portfolio of resilient solutions


Fire Detection and Suppression n Very early smoke detection apparatus (VESDA) for reliable discovery


n Fire suppression system that reduces the oxygen level in the environment ensuring combustion cannot take place


Building and Systems


Management n 24/7 monitoring managed from our network operations centre (NOC)


Technology Solutions Provider


n Real time system and facility analysis with monitoring and management of critical parameters


n High-level, dashboard information and planned preventative maintenance programmes


Environmentally Intelligent n As cooling represents 45-50% of energy a Data Centre consumes, we take advantage of the cooler British climate and use the weather to chill the water used in our cooling systems, providing “free cooling”


n Variable refrigeration flow (VRF) air conditioning is an advanced cooling technology, which allows us to independently cool each data room, minimising heat loss and creating energy savings of up to 30% over conventional systems.


n Lighting features utilise Smart Control technology, which automatically controls lighting dependant on physical movement


n Automatic floor pressurisation system (AFPS) ensures energy consumption is maintained at the lowest possible rate at all times whilst guaranteeing airflow levels


Why SCC? n Europe’s largest independent provider of infrastructure optimisation and technology solutions


n International solutions provider with over 35 years’ experience in helping customers facilitate their business strategies


n Over 7,000 results focused employees, supporting over 5,000,000 users across Europe
