Data Centre Auditing

Energy Solutions Consultants, a UK leader in integrated critical power, cooling services and data centre design, today announced the launch of auditing services to meet the growing concerns of companies about energy efficiency in data centres.

Energy Solutions Consultants complete and expert audit provides a vendor-neutral suite of services that include a comprehensive evaluation of energy use in customer facilities with detailed reports on total data centre input power, IT load, power usage effectiveness (PUE), and power and cooling conditions. Energy Solutions Consultants can also provide proposals to resolve issues with a range of recommendations to suit customer needs.

William Morris, Managing Director of Energy Solutions Consultants claims that “More data centre managers are beginning to look at energy as a productive asset, and they need the tools to be able to help maximise the utilisation of available resources with business and regulatory climates demanding increased efficiencies within the data centres. Energy Solutions Consultants audit service brings significant returns on investment as customers optimise current infrastructure and plan for future growth or consolidation.”

The audit service is a tremendous value-added service offered by Energy Solutions Consultants to its clients in the UK and Europe. As a leading company in the data centre and cooling technologies business, Energy Solutions Consultants aims to offer the complete spectrum of data protection solutions through providing the audit service. Through regular audits, data centres can be operated at optimum capacity and help save cost of repair or replacement of equipment that are prone to damage due to incorrect usage. In the near future, Energy Solutions Consultants will also be adding a language selection option on their current website to accommodate users from across Europe and the Middle East.

The services team audits the data centre and provides the customer with detailed proposals to improve energy efficiency. The proposal recommends a range of solutions leading to a scale of gains from minimum to maximum, so the customer can implement the changes that best fit their business needs and data centre environments.

Issues typically found in data centres are often addressed with a combination of airflow and cooling management techniques, smarter hot-cold aisle configurations and containment systems, upgrades to UPS systems, as well as modernisation of rack enclosures with new intelligent systems.

The Energy Solutions Consultants Data Centre Cooling Analysis uses Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to analyse the airflow and temperature patterns of a data centre at the rack and room level. The CFD software creates a 3D model of the physical attributes within the space, as well as the location and performance characteristics of the cooling units, IT equipment, power systems and any other significant equipment in the data centre.

However many electricity, gas or oil units you use in your daily business, you want to be sure you are paying as little as possible.

You know how complicated mobile tariffs can be. It’s easily as complicated for fuel – if not more so. Before deregulation, it was simple; everyone paid the same for fuel. These days you can negotiate your contract, change tariffs and change suppliers.

Yet there are benefits to the credit crunch. Because of the recession, people are using less fuel and so suppliers are keen to offer it at a lower price. And now that the price per barrel of oil is at about the lowest it’s been for the last few years (ensuring the gas and electricity prices are kept low) it’s a particularly good time to negotiate the correct tariff for your usage and a good time to lock into a new contract.

Energy Solutions Consultants can handle your negotiations and secure the best tariffs and contracts for your business. Where we differ from traditional negotiators, who may take an undisclosed commission from the supplier of up to 10%, Energy Solutions Consultants will disclose all commissions and even happily operate on a transparent fixed fee basis. We’ll pass on the commission to you, ensuring you always pay the least.
