Cumulus Data Centre Engineering Services
UPS power and process cooling limitations are a common challenge in data centres, with the trend moving toward higher-density servers and cabinets. The natural growth of any business dictates that a well-planned and well-engineered facility is implemented from day one, allowing additional power and cooling capacity to be added as and when is needed.
Being a totally independent company, Cumulus Technology is comfortable working with the client's nominated engineering services provider. Alternatively, we can also provide access to a team of experienced engineers to ensure that a lightly-populated data centre is designed and built to perform efficiently early in the lifecycle, with the capability to grow with your business and your customers whilst still minimalising risk and disruption to your critical operations.
Cumulus provide a variety of consulting engineering services including:
In a recent report by the Uptime Institute (www.uptimeinstitute.org) "The Invisible Crisis in the Data Center : The Economic Meltdown of Moore's Law" they say there is a looming financial crisis facing CIO and CFOs where the three year cost of powering a server exceeds the cost of purchasing the server, and with the continuing increase in computing power (ref Moores law) there is no top end in terms of the cost to power the site.
This is one of the areas that Cumulus Engineers focus on - - how to cost effective power and cool a server room / data centre and how to design and specify the room so it runs at maximum efficiency.
