Do we have enough power and cooling to add these new servers?
Can anything be done to increase the reliability of our computer system?
Will our building infrastructure all us to add a larger UPS and more cooling?
How much spare power and cooling capacity do we have?
How long can my UPS run when the power is gone?
Do we have power quality problems?

These are questions that are often asked but rarely answered in time. Unfortunately the answer is realized when new equipment can not be powered because of power of cooling issues.

UpTime Solutions can provide a very cost effective needs and power analysis which helps answer the questions posed above. The IT manager should have a handle on these issues. Our needs analysis will determine current conditions and indicate the amount of growth available for power and cooling within the existing infrastructure. Our needs analysis will also investigate the feasibility of scaleable solutions if necessary. This would include evaluation of the building infrastructure to accommodate generator backup, larger UPS systems and additional cooling. This information is very important because some facilities do not have the infrastructure to add more UPS or cooling. The calculation of power supply requirements for computer loads is both calculated and measured to help determine current and future needs. Naturally, this information is very important for the strategic planning of IT operations. Our needs analysis will provide the information you need to make future IT decisions.

UpTime Solutions also utilizes highly sensitive power quality meters to provide analysis of your power. Data center power audits are recommended to insure proper power quality criteria and the proper and reliable distribution of critical power.

UpTime Solutions also provides design/build services which build on the needs analysis to generate complete design documentation. This includes the design and integration of UPS, Generator, Computer AC, raised flooring, facility wide surge suppression and critical power distribution. All of these ingredients need to be designed and implemented correctly to facilitate a reliable solution. Size does not matter. The importance of these ingredients is as vital to the small network as they are to the large data center.
