Encompass Blue for Data Centres
To handle the core business and operational data of an organisation in today’s IT era, data centres are a primary resource that must be protected from unexpected downtime and interruptions. Issues like rising energy costs, increasing heat loads, security, disaster recovery, emergency backup solutions and cable management become challenging to manage as data centres grow in size and complexity.
Blue IoT’s specialist team of strategic partners, project managers, mechanical & electrical engineers and an Uptime Institute Accredited Tier Designer has significant experience in advising data centres. Our team offers a unified approach to practical solutions for data centres to help customers succeed in their mission-critical objectives.
