Data Center Design

Data Centers work quietly in the background, but without them we�re lost. When one of these data hubs goes down, it can quickly bring a company to a halt. Dependence on computers and data processing is rising, but it�s not only individual manpower which is often coupled to computers. Whole production facilities have to stop work when Data Centers fail. And that can quickly put a company on the road to financial ruin.

To make this risk more calculable, it is vital that Data Centers should be highly available as well as operationally reliable. For over three decades, SCHNABEL DC Consultants India Private Limited has been designing security and availability-oriented Data Centers of all sizes and availability levels.

High Availability � The end of Data Center Downtime
Qualified advice is the key to good planning. Our mission is to design the ideal Data Center for each of our clients. Each organisation has its own, very individual security and availability requirements. SCHNABEL DC Consultants India Private Limited engineers work together with their clients to identify these needs.

To achieve an operationally reliable, highly available Data Center, the perfect integration of all the technologies involved is essential. This is why, here at SCHNABEL DC Consultants India Private Limited electrical engineers, utility engineers, architects and security experts all cooperate very closely.

Aspects such as fire safety, access control, secure power supplies and climate control are vital if a Data Center is to be operationally reliable. In addition, organisational measures such as surveillance and facility control and maintenance need to be put in place. Substantial specialist knowledge is called for if all these requirements are to be implemented in a reliable and tailored way.

Cooperation � Data Center Planning Means Communication
IT and infrastructure experts often speak two different languages, even inside their own organisations. However, it is becoming increasingly important that Data Center security and availability should be planned collectively. IT infrastructure needs technical infrastructure.

We think it is vital to keep up a lively exchange with our clients for the whole duration of a project, so that together, we can draw up strategies, security concepts and specifications catalogues and offer them professional support to help them make the right decisions.
