With an established and proven approach to data centre design, build and construction, Secure IT Environments works closely with NHS clients to design their energy-efficient and reliable Data Centres in critical environments.
To meet NHS standards, critical hospital areas require backup power to activate in under 0.5 seconds during an outage. In many cases, even this short delay isn’t acceptable for sensitive medical equipment.
To ensure continuous power, UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supplies) systems are used alongside Isolated Power Supplies (IPS) and backup generators. For greater resilience, UPS units can be deployed in an N+1 configuration, with single or multiple input supplies.
System alerts and diagnostics can be integrated to give facilities teams and clinical staff real-time updates and early warnings, helping to maintain uptime and ensure patient safety.
Our design approach focuses on simplicity, scalability, and cost-effectiveness, using advanced, energy-efficient cooling and infrastructure technologies that deliver long-term value and performance in line with TIA-942 data centre standards. Keeping critical facilities up and running.
Data centres in the UK are now classified as critical national infrastructure, joining the emergency services, finance and healthcare systems, and energy and water supplies. With this change, working with the NHS and other essential services requires partners like Secure IT Environments who understand critical infrastructure, from secure design and installation to ongoing maintenance and energy efficiency.
Secure IT Environments has extensive experience designing and installing resilient power solutions for NHS data centres, ensuring compliance, reliability, and continuity of critical services.
Having completed over 35 NHS Data Centres, Secure I.T. Environments Ltd understands the criticality and operational demands within the NHS Sector. The key to understanding and planning a new data centre design is to work closely with the Trust’s I.T. and Estates Department to list the objectives and goals to ensure long-term planning can be achieved taking into consideration any growth forecast requirements. These will include, green initiatives, energy savings and providing a greener I.T. service, enabling the Trust to reduce its overall carbon footprint.
Other key objectives are to ensure the data centre’s efficiency, performance, concurrent reliability, security and compliance. Defining the role of the data centre within the Trust, set out its goals and services to be provided to all users. Ensure a fully maintainable solution can be achieved.
At Secure I.T. Environments Ltd, we like to start with a conversation. An early meeting or Teams call helps us understand your goals, space, and technical requirements, so we can design the right solution from the start. This first discussion sets the direction for your project and ensures we create an energy-efficient, resilient I.T. facility that meets your needs. Contact us today to find out more!
Whether traditional, containerised, or modular our energy-efficient scalable approach to any challenge is developed to align with the overall strategy of each business client, ensuring we optimise every data centre design and future fit-out at every stage. The key principles of our design approach are based on simple, scalable, cost-effective but highly energy-efficient cooling and infrastructure technologies that deliver real value through the critical life cycle of the facilities infrastructure to the latest data centre TIA942 industry standards and provide significant best levels of power usage effectiveness (PUE) for operational performance. A new data centre needs a reliable power supply, regular backups, clear communication paths for data connections, environmental control, and security measures.
With our in-house data centre design and build a team of engineers, we fully support our clients preferred architecture solution to ensure your data centres are running seamlessly. Utilising the latest efficient data centre cooling systems and power infrastructure management industry standards with no disruption to mission-critical services or business continuity operations.
“We needed a new data centre to be an essential part of improving and expanding the services we offer the hospital’s community.”
”Our migration went smoothly and we went live in the new location as planned on the Monday morning. Thanks to the careful planning of Trust IT projects and estates teams, working in close partnership with Secure I.T. Environments, we were able to plan for the challenges of working on a tight timeline, while maintaining a COVID-safe working environment.”
Whether traditional, containerised or modular, our energy-efficient, scalable approach to any challenge is developed to align with the overall strategy of each business client, ensuring we optimise every NHS data centre’s design and future fit-out at every stage.
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.
