Sustainable, scalable solutions from Subzero Engineering at Data Centre World London
With the growth of digitalisation, it’s no surprise that data centres now need containment solutions that are scalable and are built with modernisation in mind
ubzero Engineering’s infrastructure is designed for ultra-efficient and rapid deployments to support data centre owners and operators looking to future-proof their facilities. Underpinning this fast-moving digital world is not just the IT software and hardware, but the foundational layer of the data centre. At the very least, the data centres unable to meet digital demands because of ageing, inflexible infrastructure, are in real danger of losing business to competitors. At this year’s Data Centre World London, Subzero Engineering’s experts will be available on Stand D52 to talk through the various types of custom containment solutions, as well as an in- depth dive into efficient design, manufacturing and installation processes.
S They will also showcase the companies CFD and
services capabilities, demonstrating how with the right data, end-users can gain the perfect balance of performance and efficiency within their data centre environments.
Sustainable and modernised infrastructure
Data centre operators are consciously looking for sustainable solutions, to make the next steps towards net zero. There are many legacy data centres which can be refurbished and upgraded to meet the demands of today’s digital businesses. However, when planning and implementing a data centre modernisation strategy, the key requirements of speed, agility, scalability and sustainability need to be reflected in any infrastructure refresh.
Whether you’re building a new data centre or looking to update a legacy building in a greener way, the importance of sustainable infrastructure is often overlooked. For many data centre managers, beginning with the end in mind is the simplest way to fast-track the deployment process and by utilising a data-driven approach, end-users can meet business objectives without risking outages or downtime. For example, by first assessing the existing infrastructure environment and utilizing computational fluid dynamics (CFD), operators can identify key areas of concern within their systems and take steps to reduce hotspots, manage poor airflows and address inefficient rack configurations.
Using its market-leading CFD software capabilities, Subzero Engineering helps customers to reduce their Operating Expenses (OpEx) alongside their carbon footprint. At the show, the

Subzero team will be showcasing how to utilise its data-driven reports to help customers understand the challenges in their data centres and how Subzero can help them optimise performance via custom engineering, services and solutions.
Containment and
modular solutions Many modular solutions often consist of a containerised system, which come pre-populated with racks, cabling, power and cooling infrastructure. Modular, containerised solutions will certainly go some way to addressing new data centre requirements, but it’s essential to recognise that some level of customization may be required.
Many traditional methods for supporting data centre infrastructure including containment, power distribution, and cable routing can be costly and time-consuming if not properly designed or specified. They often require structural ceilings, underfloor pathways, and a building that can support the entire weight of the environment. Specifying the load of the system, therefore, is crucial and will influence how the system is designed and configured.
Here, pre-configured systems such as Subzero Engineering’s Essential Structure can provide a
simplified and quick-to-deploy architecture that includes infrastructure conveyancing, support, and containment. Such solutions can be deployed quickly and flexibly, offer significant solution lifecycle cost-savings, and promote sustainable, optimized data centre performance. At Data Centre World 2023, Subzero’s experts will be on hand to discuss the challenges their customers are facing and how Subzero they can help to overcome them with the most simple to deploy and comprehensive solutions. Data Centre World London attracts visitors from across the UK, Ireland and EMEA, and Subzero Engineering position as a global business, means it can share its experiences in projects across various regions (including the Nordics and the Middle East). Subzero, works closely with customers throughout the design and specification phases, through the manufacturing process and throughout installation and commissioning, ensuring that any data centre modernization project meets its business objectives from the outset. Visit Subzero Engineering at Stand D52 to explore the latest EMEA data centre solutions and to speak to its expert team on how they can assist you in updating and modifying your data centre infrastructure and containment.
