Solutions
Across the data centre lifecycle.
Eight solutions, from independent advice and sourcing through design, build and migration to 24/7 operations, delivered by one engineering team from the first conversation to day-to-day running.
01Solutions by stage
Where each solution sits in the lifecycle.

03How they join up
One partner from source to operate.
Sourcing is the front end of the same lifecycle. What we source, we can design, build, migrate and run, with one accountable partner throughout. Professional Services is there for the decisions along the way.

Source
Connectivity, colocation and cloud compared on real data and live pricing.
Sourcing & Advisory - 02
Design
White space, M&E and cabling designed together, sized for the density the hall has to carry.
Design & Build - 03
Build
Fit-out, containment, power, cooling and cabling, commissioned and handed over.
M&E Engineering - 04
Migrate
Live environments moved on a tested runbook, through go/no-go gates.
Migrations - 05
Operate
24/7 monitoring, smart hands and incident response, on five service tiers.
