When it comes to datacentres Prospero have the knowledge and experience to provide the best solutions for you, whether your facility has been operating for a number of years and in need of some careful attention, or just an idea that has the potential to be great with a little nurturing.
We offer a complete range of services to help you make the best of your centre, from design to cleaning.
To ensure your datacentre is best equipped to meet the individual needs of your company, both now and into the future, our first objective is always to identify these needs and understand the direction in which you and your business are going.
Working closely with you throughout the process, we will ensure that the final design is flexible enough to meet the demands of an ever-changing technological market, and functional enough to allow efficient operations from the first day of opening.
As an independent supplier, we can supply, design and install the systems either individually or as part of a complete design and build package to any redundancy level.
High Density Computer Cooling
In an area densely populated by computer hardware, cooling is of great importance. Our experts will design a complete cooling system to suit the needs of your facility.
Cold-aisle containment
In a high density computer environment, cold and hot isles are an ideal solution for handling air to provide highest efficiency cooling performance.
Free-cooling systems
Saving energy and money is a priority for any business, but in an industry where cooling is required 24/7 it seems a waste not to put to use what nature had provided on those coldest of winter days. Free-cooling can reduce the energy consumed by your cooling systems by up to 50% in a year.
Chilled Water
Chilled water is a prefered medium for cooling high density computer rooms as the evaporation temperature is higher which saves energy.
Uninterruptable Power Supplies (UPS)
In the event of a mains power failure, a UPS allows seamless protection from input interruptions by means of attached batteries and back-up generators until mains power can be restored.
Power Distribution Units (PDU)
As the name suggests, a PDU is a device that is designed to apportion mains power being received in such a way that a number of individual units may benefit without any associated increase in risk. These come in different sizes and technicalities
Standby generators
A stand alone back-up generator provides peace of mind that temporary power can be provided in the event of a mains power outage, allowing your business to continue without too much of a glitch.
Standard & emergency lighting solutions
We can supply, fit and connect a complete range of lighting devices. Whether you need emergency lighting in case of a fire, or just standard lighting for your office or shop, we have a solution.
Complete new circuits and rewiring
Our highly skilled electrical engineers are well practiced in all aspects of safe electrical work, and will do a professional job whether you want a new mains socket in a recently occupied print room, or complete wiring of your new premises.
Smoke detectors
Under fire safety law established in 2006, anyone in charge of non-domestic premises has a legal responsibility to ensure that adequate fire detection measures are in place. Smoke detectors offer an easy and reliable solution.
Manual alert devices
‘Break-glass’ devices are often situated along fire escape routes and near fire exits. They offer a second, manual alert system should a fire be identified before any smoke is detected, or as a trigger for a suppression system.
Sprinkler systems
Sprinkler systems can be fitted and plumbed in to offer fire protection by means of suppression. The sensitivity of these devices can be adjusted to suit the needs of your premises and the level of risk involved.
Inert Gas suppression systems
In an environment containing high value electronic equipment, a sprinkler system is not an option when it comes to fire suppression. Inert gases can prevent the spread of a fire by absorbing oxygen from the surrounding air, and starving it.
Digital access control systems
We can supply and fit a complete range off access control devices, from simple keypad locks fitted to entrance doors to fully automated swipe card entry systems which record and log the movement of staff around the building, and prevent access of unauthorised personnel, either permanently or at specified times.
CCTV monitoring systems
We can supply and fit CCTV systems which allow you to monitor activity around your premises from a specified control room, and record images 24 hours a day to allow playback should there ever be an incident.
Intruder alarms
If you are worried about the security of your premises, we are able to provide solutions to protect against ‘unwanted guests’ including alarms linked directly to an offsite monitoring company, a nominated person or which sound within the building.
Once a facility is operational all systems and environments must be maintained to ensure the functionality and longevity of your critical hardware, and to ensure optimal energy utilisation. Our engineers and specially trained technicians are able to provide solutions for:
M&E systems maintenance
All mechanical and electrical systems are prone to wear and tear throughout the lifetime of the equipment, and this is often caused by nothing more than standard usage.
Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)
A proper PPM plan will maintain you equipment, extending its life and even saving you money in operating costs.
Prospero offers PPM for the following M&E systems:
• High Density Cooling - Glycol Monitoring• Electrical - Thermal Imaging
• Plumbing and Heating
• Fire Protection
• Security
Call-out service
We offer a 24 hour call-out service to respond to any break-down of M&E systems, keeping your operations running as smoothly as possible.
Our critical sites are set up to notify us via SMS, email or phone in the event of a breakdown or emergency.
Our vans are fitted with tracker devices enabling us to sent the nearest available engineer as quikly as possible.
Assessment & monitoring services
As a company who understands the changing monitoring requirements of a corporate building, we can provide you with a range of flexible environment and systems monitoring solutions that change with the needs of your staff and premises.
We can review and advise on:
• Risk assessments: including Health & Safety, fire protection and water quality
• Energy efficiency:
Our new EnergyFocus contracts are your opportunity to upgrade your premises and existing energy systems at no extra cost to you, offering you a guaranteed reduction in energy consumption, and long term savings on bills. To discuss how this plan may benefit your business, please contact us to arrange for and energy technician to visit you at your premises.
Airborne particle counts
An airborne particle count is a quantitative measurement of the cleanliness on your hosting rooms, and gives a value of contaminants that are currently a risk to your equipment.
Our technicians will provide you with a detailed report that will prove your compliance with ISO 14644-1
Temperature/Relative Humidity
Fluctuations or extremes in temperature and relative humidity can affect the functionality of computer equipment, and in extreme cases cause it to fail completely.
By monitoring these conditions you can ensure that you air handling plant is functioning efficiently.
Differential Pressure
The differential pressure within your controlled environments is crucial to the efficient distribution of cool and hot air around your equipment.
Monitoring these conditions can highlight any potential problems.
Tops of floor monthly service
Your datacentre floor has been specially designed to conduct any amount of static electricity away from your equipment. A build up of dust or poor cleaning practice can seriously affect the conductivity of this important feature.
Our monthly cleaning process will safely remove any build up of dust on equipment housing and floor surfaces, and our cleaning chemicals have been specially developed to maintain the anti-static properties of your facility.
Annual cleanroom deep-clean
Although a monthly cleaning schedule will minimise the build-up of contamination within crucial areas of your facility, an annual deep-clean is required to completely de-contaminate the area, including the sub-floor zone.
The sub-floor zone delivers cool, filtered air to the sensitive equipment above. Unfortunately, because of gravity, this is also the area most prone to a build-up of dirt and dust. If allowed to accumulate this dust will be swept up in the circulating air and can lead to systematic system failure, an increased risk of fire or accidental fire suppressant discharge.
Strip & re-polish of high traffic areas
The high traffic areas of your facility can often become scuffed and dull as time moves on, and as these areas are part of the raised floor system in most facilities, this can affect its anti-static effects.
As part of our service we will re-apply layers of anti-static finish to the raised-floor tiles, removing any previous layers if it appears there is a build up.
