Data centre and comms room audits

With the introduction of new hardware and software, data centres have often expanded far beyond their day-one designs, which can lead to additional complications and single points of failure.

Understanding where such issues occur within the critical infrastructure can help ensure business continuity, assist with disaster recovery plans and mitigate against qualified risks.

Our data centre consultants are not just auditors; they are highly experienced professionals with key certified qualifications.

Wherever you are located worldwide, we will cover your facility’s physical infrastructure, network architecture, and security protocols, ensuring a comprehensive audit.

Our audits start with the discovery phase, when we meet with all the key stakeholders to establish a clear scope and timeline for the consultancy project and discuss the current comms rooms standards and processes.

Next, we carry out site visits to the agreed location/locations to identify key areas for improvement across your facility, including:
• Energy efficiency and sustainability practices.
• Power supply and backup systems such as UPS and generators.
• DX and chilled water-cooling systems.
• System uptime and availability metrics.
• Redundancy and fault tolerance mechanisms.
• Risk mitigation strategies and controls.
• Identification and assessment of potential risks.
• Staff training and certification.
• Maintenance schedules and procedures.
• Review of policies, procedures, and operational manuals.
