"we suffered a major power failure a couple of weeks back that saw the generator running from 8pm on Monday evening thru to 4am the following day. The Keysource set up saw our data centre up and running the entire time and a fuel top up was arranged the same day. Excellent!"

Our Services > DCiE Assessments and Audits 

Improve your data centre performance, save energy and lower the total cost of ownership

If you need to control the energy consumption of your data centre, a Data Centre Infrastructure Efficiency (DCiE) Assessment and follow on Audit from Keysource offers a fully structured process which enables data centre operators to obtain accurate measurement and analysis of the efficiency of their facility.

Once an initial measurement has taken place, which adheres to the measures set out by The Green Grid, Keysource will offer recommendations to help reduce data centre energy consumption, whilst improving data centre performance and saving money for your data centre.

Stage One, The DCiE Assessments:  

Provides an effective 'snap shot' measurement of your facility's energy efficiency

Assesses best practice and identifies opportunities for data centre efficiency improvements

Assesses the balance between efficiency and availability and offers insights in latent capacity or possible cost savings

Recommends (if applicable) new design strategies for data centre upgrade or new data centre build.

Ongoing measurement is the key. The DCiE Audit is designed as a follow on from Assessment and enables Data Centre Operators to gain a greater understanding of their facility and is vital when considering long-term investment.

Stage Two, The DCiE Audit:  

Is a continuous observation and analysis of the Mechanical and Electrical infrastructure

Assesses the scalability and resilience of the technical space and recommendations for refining existing systems

Enables the development of an integrated strategy across IT and facilities to optimise the data centre through applying both IT and Mechanical and Electrical (M+E) Best Practice

Establishing a plan, budget and project ROI for improvements.

So what do you need to do now to take the first step towards reducing your facility's energy consumption and save on money? Contact us to talk through the Assessment and Audit and find out how your data centre can become more energy efficient and save money.
