Design

Using professionally qualified design engineers Blue Planet Consulting can produce design specifications or detailed designs for Data Centre new build or refurbishment projects. Design reviews can be produced pre-build to ensure resilience requirements and post-construction Blue Planet Consulting can provide design analysis with evidence that standards and specification requirements have been met.

Blue Planet Consulting takes a holistic approach to Data Centre design to ensure that all physical aspects are considered and integrated into a homogenous package that incorporates environmental considerations, mechanical and electrical building services, server rack layouts, hot and cold aisle planning, space planning, fire safety and control systems that are secure by design rather than individual disparate systems that do not function well together

Blue Planet Consulting goes further than design - with experience of Data Centre operations and facilities management we can ensure that the design is maintainable, deliverable and in the case of existing facility refurbishment can be delivered with minimal disruption and approved via change control processes.

Blue Planet Consulting understands the need to design to the customer's requirements and that with Data Centres "one size does not fit all" and "off the shelf" solutions may not be appropriate. Whether the requirements are for Tier 1 or Tier 4, N+N or N+1, Blue Planet Consulting has the design experience of building services including high voltage and low voltage power distribution, uninterruptible power supplies, cooling, free-cooling, ventilation, standby generation and controls.
