Luton and Dunstable Hospital Data Centre Build

Luton & Dunstable University Hospital is a very busy hospital with 682 beds, 1,800 staff onsite at any one time, and over 75,000 patients passing through its doors per year. Opened in 1939, the hospital boasts the 2nd best performing A&E department in the UK and is designated a major incident hospital. The hospital has a reputation for serving its community well, and as part of a five year £150m investment in the site, is building the facilities needed to serve that community for decades into the future.

WHAT TO KNOW

What to Consider when Building A Data Centre

Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE)

PUE is an important measurement of energy efficiency in Data Centres, providing the metrics needed to make informed green efficiency changes in Data Centre infrastructure. With the cost of power rising, an efficient Data Centre Design not only delivers cost benefits to your organisation but is considerably less damaging to the environment.

Many low capital cost approaches in energy efficiency with often just small changes can save businesses thousands of pounds a year. PUE efficiency compares the total power energy used by a facility with how much is used by the IT components. The closer the figure is to 1.0, the more efficiently the facility is operating.

Planned Preventative Maintenance

To ensure all equipment is in working order and will perform as designed in both normal operating conditions and an emergency, regular maintenance inspections must be planned and completed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. The service inspections provide the end user with the confidence that their Data Centre is operating at its best.
We provide a range of UPS, generator, air conditioning, and fire suppression maintenance services, ranging from simple repair to 24/7 support contracts with guaranteed response times.

Remote monitoring

An early warning alert can prevent a situation from reaching a critical point of no return. Our support team offers customer UPS monitoring that detects any changes or errors in your system. Our automated management system monitors the environment and identifies even minor problems, sending alerts immediately and informing relevant personnel. Many monitoring systems can be remotely monitored via global operations architecture, via the cloud.

FAQ

Answers to the Most
Common Questions

A data centre design and build service provides end-to-end solutions for creating a data centre. This includes planning, designing the infrastructure, and actual construction, ensuring an efficient and functional facility.
There are three key areas to consider when planning to build a new data centre to ensure the project meets the needs of the organisation it’s designed to serve: existing facilities, the organisation’s business needs, and the data centre technology environment. Having answers to specific questions in these three areas will put your organisation in a position to make the best choice for design, build, installation, and start-up of your new data centre.
Key to understanding how to plan and build a new data centre is knowing the details of your existing data centre setup and capacity, whether that is your own facility, a colocation provider, or a cloud service.
Getting a clear picture of what already exists helps determine if building a new data centre is indeed the right option. In this digital age It’s possible that colocation, outsourcing, or a cloud or hybrid model could best meet your organisation’s data centre needs.
As part of this evaluation process, it’s also critical to understand the goals of the business, and how the data centre meets the needs of the company. A key part of this is understanding the scale of IT in the organisation, as well as how the data centre and its operations align with the business. That requires looking closely at how much data the business deals with, how it is gathered, stored, and accessed, what contact uses the data and how, and the relevant industry standards the data centre must comply with.
After getting a good sense of organisational goals and how the existing facilities are serving the business, and could you scale this down. it’s also critical to understand the company’s technology and data center physical environments.
Data centre projects are complex undertakings. When it’s done right, a brand new data center will support your business objectives and meet current and anticipated future needs. The way to set up your organisation for success with this project is to understand existing data centre facilities, know the business needs of the organisation, and have knowledge of the necessary data centre and technology environment.
Buildings used as storage facilities are most often located in the suburbs, areas with uninterrupted power supply. The centres are built in a fenced area that is protected from unauthorised intrusion. Data centres are located in one- or two-storey buildings, in buildings using modular construction techniques or containerised units. They can also be built internal or external of a main building
The data center houses switching routing and storage hardware. The function of that hardware depends on the type of data center. There is also generally a large amount of power and cooling equipment as well as admin space. Some data centers are for access from a customer to a business’s serve
Sometimes they can be found in the city centres, refurbishing industrial buildings, storage facilities, and hangars. Buildings must meet strict requirements, must be selected based on the load-bearing capacity of walls and floors, and the materials used for construction.
To ensure an uninterrupted power supply, two mains from different substations, battery packs and emergency diesel generators are normally used. Switching to the emergency power supply is performed in milliseconds, so the risk of losing company data is minimised.
The timeframe can vary based on the size, complexity, and specific requirements of the project. Generally, smaller data centres might take a few months, while larger or more complex projects can extend to over a year.
Several factors are considered, including the client’s capacity needs, scalability, redundancy, cooling and ventilation systems, energy efficiency, and security measures. The geographical location and potential natural disaster risks are also evaluated.
We adopt the latest technologies and best practices, such as using energy-efficient hardware, advanced cooling systems, and renewable energy sources when possible. Regular energy audits also help in maintaining efficiency.
Absolutely. Our designs often incorporate modular elements that allow for easy expansion, ensuring the facility can evolve with growing data needs.

Costs can vary widely based on the size, location, technologies used, and other factors. We recommend reaching out with specific project details for a tailored estimate.
