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
