Ensuring the Continuous Running of Data Centres
Data centres are complex facilities. The technical equipment inside a centre is extremely sensitive to temperature and moisture so environmental control is essential, as is ensuring continuous power.
Data centres require a variety of systems and equipment to ensure uninterrupted operation. These include ventilation and cooling systems, UPS, generators and cabling. As most of these will be situated on the roof, access will be required by engineers and contractors to carry out regular inspections, maintenance and emergency repair work, so safe access onto and across the roof is vital.
