Overcoming challenges in the server room
Several key challenges were overcome from poorly designed under floor cooling to sub standard cabling. Lightspeed came up with a solution to deliver the project with minimal downtime and maximum use of the available space and resources.
Structured cabling layout
Larger APC racks were ordered to facilitate the new infrastructure that the council was installing, allowing for the best layout of the patching and structured cabling.
Cooling
Cooling was re-designed to maximise hot/cold zone air-flow and save in energy consumption.
Lighting
New low voltage LED room lighting was installed along with internal rack lighting.
Efficiency
The end result was a user friendly, efficient server room that maximised the space and resources that were available.
