This level of strategic planning can be used by data centre providers and operators to ensure that infrastructure projects or cooling systems are not impacted at any point during a crisis .
Planning for the long-term
There has been a global increase in construction and maintenance projects , particularly around significant data centre projects . As the building work ramps up , so will the demand for equipment and solutions that will allow for these projects to meet deadlines . However , there remain concerns around the supply chain and its ability to keep up with construction demand .
This again is where an outsourcing solution can make a huge difference to the project ’ s bottom line . Instead of the spiralling costs associated with unexpected delays , companies can use outsourcing solutions to keep facilities in operation while they wait for components and critical equipment to arrive .
The benefit is that these outsourcing cooling and power solutions are flexible in terms of scale and output so you can adapt their usage to suit your site and requirements . This also allows for a degree of flexibility around time frame changes and further unplanned issues .
