FUJITSU SELECTS STARLINE TRACK BUSWAY AS POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM FOR DATA CENTRE EXPANSION PROJECT
Fujitsu has over five decades of experience delivering cutting-edge IT products , services , solutions and support to over 100 countries , and has grown to become one of the top five information and communication technology providers in the world .
Fujitsu employs over 9,000 people in the UK and Ireland , with a number of strategic data centres supporting a wide range of capability and offerings .
Expansion for New Business
In order to meet customer requirements , Fujitsu needed to build an extension onto a 3.2 megawatt data centre it manages just north of London . In addition , Fujitsu was working with a tight project timeline , needing to transform a car park into an operational data centre in a matter of months . As it stood , the existing facility used traditional cabling beneath a raised floor to supply power to its server racks .
When running additional circuits it ’ s common for Fujitsu to supply two 32 amp supplies to each cabinet – however , there are occasionally other requirements that call for the sizable job of running cables between cabinets and PDUs .
When this situation arises , the data centre has to handle the cost of new cable and associated labour , the risk associated with connecting to a live PDU , and completing this in a timely fashion in order to efficiently deliver the project to the customer . p
