Vertiv develops bespoke and energy effi cient cooling systems for critical applications.
A
mdocs, a market leader in customer experience solutions, experienced rapid growth due to its continually evolving and growing market. The company, with a presence in 80 countries worldwide, found its UK business occupying two separate offi ces across London, each with critical server rooms, as well as a co-location site.
Late in 2015, Amdocs made a strategic decision to consolidate its critical facilities and two offi ces to a new centralised site in Chiswick Park. Off ering supreme levels of effi ciency, a hassle-free installation procedure and great payback, Amdocs partnered closely with Vertiv and delivered an all-in-one thermal management solution for the new facilities, including the Liebert PDX with EconoPhase. Amdocs provides software solutions to some of the world’s most successful communications and media companies. As its customers continue
to reinvent themselves, Amdocs enables digital and network transformation for over 250 service providers globally, featuring some of the world’s largest telecommunications companies – AT&T, Telefónica and Vodafone.
Following previous partnerships with Vertiv for critical cooling application across its global estate, Amdocs – whose critical infrastructure management team are headquartered in Israel – found security in a supplier that had a strong global presence and proven track record with its business.
Scoping the project
In January 2016, Ronnen Perry, global technical manager at Amdocs, contacted Vertiv outlining the plans for the consolidation. His requirements for the new UK facility were clear – it must be a standalone system that’s independent of any landlord or incumbent
tenant services. It must provide N+N resilience, be quick to manufacture and install and fi t within the constraints of the new site. As an active participant in the Carbon Disclosure Project, Ronnen also made free-cooling a mandatory requirement to maximise effi ciency in the new facility. With the site yet to be constructed, Amdocs was open to the type of cooling system being deployed.
Along with this plan, he set out an aggressive six-month deadline for completion.
With the scope clearly defi ned, Vertiv quickly got to work on this challenge.
Vertiv carried out a high-level feasibility study that compared the total cost of ownership (TCO) for each applicable technology available from the portfolio. This included a more conventional Liebert PDX air cooled
