Here EAUC Company Member, Advanced Power Technology, shares a recent case study on the installation of a data centre at Manchester Metropolitan University.
A new energy efficient modular data centre was installed to house high powered state of the art servers and unified communications equipment. This new facility will consume half the energy of the old server rooms and reduce the University’s carbon footprint. Existing IT space has been reclaimed and rejuvenated by an innovative solution that has the flexibility and agility for future growth.
Time lapse video
As part of the project, APT created a time lapse video which charts the entire process of converting the unused space into the data centre in just under 3 minutes! The video is fantastic way of viewing the processes that take place and seeing the redundant space be transformed before your eyes into something that can make a real environmental difference, despite the perception that it is unachievable.
