What is a High Density-Data Centre?
We use the measurement ‘Kilowatts’ to measure the density per cabinet and since mid-2016 a Data Centre that uses more than 10 kW per cabinet is known as a high-density Data Centre. Another way of measuring Data Centre Density is by measuring how much energy is consumed per square of the floor space. Typically, a high-density Data Centre is one using more than 150kW per square foot.

What are the scales and various designs of a Data Centre?
Whenever we think of Data Centres, many of us think of huge warehouses with rows and rows full of racks of servers – and in some cases we are right. However, they come in all shapes and sizes. They can range from a few servers in a room to large structures measuring in hundreds of thousands of square feet with tens of thousands of servers and other hardware. The sizes and types of hardware they contain vary depending upon the needs of the entity or entities they are supporting.
What Is A Data Centre? Why Do We Have Them?
There was a time when our information demands were simpler. The main entertainment we had was TV shows and they are broadcasted into our homes at set times on a few channels, we typed up memos and letters in triplicate for paper distribution and backup and we had conversations on phones wired. Even mobiles used to be used just for calls and texts. However, since the dawn of the Internet, smartphones, tablets, high bandwidth broadband and other new technologies, we are constantly on the web and always demanding data to be delivered our devices.
What Is Data Centre Relocation?
Firstly, relocating a data centre is no small task. Unlike your standard corporate move, which would involve breaking down, transporting and reassembling equipment, Data Centres must focus on other factors such as ensuring the customer data is available and accessible whilst the transition is taking place. If your business has never gone through such a big move before, we highly recommend the help of a firm that specialises in this service to avoid downtime for your clients and problems for your business!
