Sudlows to re-power data centre in Leeds

02 February, 2012

Sudlows has won the contract to replace electrical power plant for the primary ICT data centre of Leeds City Council. The council requires an upgrade to a Tier 2 specification to provide power redundancy for the key ICT services provided by this data centre. It is currently supported by a legacy electrical infrastructure that has evolved over time and is not concurrent with the latest standards of efficiency and technologies.

This £500 000 project is expected to be operational by Easter 2012.

Miles Allen, director for critical power with Sudlows, explains, ‘The challenge of the project is to deliver an upgrade whilst maintaining full operational status of the data centre. With an increasing use by the local community for digital services, it is vital that any facility is carefully designed to meet not only this growing demand for digital access but that services have a reliable as well as efficient power support.’
