A successful data center construction or renovation project requires managers to carefully follow each phase of the process— design, construction, review and acceptance.
High quality design and implementation of a server room facility is a significant condition for the proficient functioning of all systems. Insufficient quality can lead to reduced work results of the company’s employees.
Server room as we want to define it is a special case of a data center basing on Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Data Centers ANSI/TIA-942,and Uptime institute suggests a gradation of data centers called “Tiers”, basing on availability which is represented by redundancy of operations combined with number of distribution paths:
Basic non-redundant server room and providing 99.671% availability.
Single distribution path and redundant components and providing 99.741% availability.
Data center with one distribution path active and multiple paths available and providing 99.92% availability.
Fault tolerant data center, multiple distribution paths active and providing 99.995% availability.

Server room construction planning begins from choosing the proper location which suits installation and functionality constrains of IT infrastructure elements. Some of the most important decisions here are made before the first server rack is ordered and the first piece of network cable is laid. Your first task in finding the best spot for the server room inside existing building is to determine your server room size. These requirements should be based on existing and expected future needs.
Security is one of the most frequently discussed topics in the data center services world. The importance of security is hard to overstate. But in taking a closer look at why security is so important, it becomes clear why so many companies invest so many resources into keeping their facilities and data secure.
Here are a few of the more prominent reasons why security is so important:
Compliance with the law: There’s no shortage of laws and regulations mandating the safekeeping of sensitive data. While there are certainly other obligations that a business should take into account, if businesses want to be in compliance with the law regarding customers’ data, they need to make sure to select a provider that is up to industry standards in compliance. Telex maintains SOC2 compliance in all of our data centers.
Obligation to clients and customers: When your business takes a customer’s data, you’re obligated to do your best to keep that data safe and secure. A data center that takes compliance and physical security seriously helps fulfill this promise, keeping data safe from natural and physical threats to data centers.
Make sure that the provider you choose places a strong focus on security—as in the end, it’s your customers’ data that you’re placing in the hands of that provider.
We offer our expertise in the following context with IBMS as follows:
Risk of natural disasters and other threats: Today, natural disasters pose one of the biggest threats around to data centers. Physical security in a data center, starting with where it is built (outside of flood zones and in low seismic activity areas) and culminating with the actual construction of the building (is the building solidly built?), lessens the risk of downtime when natural disaster strikes. This saves money and time, and keeps your data flowing when you need it.
Like it is stated earlier, sever room must accommodate all of your equipment and have space for growth. Solution must allow enough space for cabling and maintenance access to the side and back of server racks and other installed equipment. In front of the racks there should be space for technician to be able to fully extend servers from the rack and to stand in front of it also using a ladder. Numerically recommendation for space around server and communication racks can be specified as following: clearance at front 1,200 mm and clearance at back 1,000 mm.
There are a few predictable locations for leaks to occur. If you are checking for leaks in drip pans or floor drains, water leak detectors are an ideal solution. They will identify leaks and notify the right people to take action.
SIIPL can supply, install, test and commission of an Access control system consisting of intelligent controllers, Biometric & proximity readers, power supplies, proximity cards, and all associated accessories to make a fully operational on line access control system. Access control will be provided for doors. These doors will be provided with electric locks, and will operate on fail-safe principle. The lock will remain unlocked in the event of a fire alarm, or in the event of a power failure. The fire alarm supplier will make potential free contacts available for releasing the locks in a fire condition especially for staircase and main doors.
Walls, doors and ceiling are usually designed and produced by building contractor who is aware of demands and commercial building construction regulations and policies. However, understanding basic principles upfront will help IT person responsible for server room project finding a mutual language with contractor and to assess a cost and duration of the building project in advance.
We offer our expertise in the following context with Server Room fit out work
Power supply for a server room can be organized in a variety of ways. Basis for the design lays on an answer to a question:
What level of reliability of IT services you need to provide to the business ?
Workgroup file and print server used during workdays demands for a redundant power supplies in servers and UPS.
Server room with high demand for reliability like one hosts network infrastructure servers such as name servers or identity and access 22, management databases needs a much robust setup including redundancy in power circuits backed up by UPS and a diesel power generator.
We offer our expertise in the following context with Electrical solutions
Also Power Distribution Unit may possibly be located in a separate area which is adjacent to the server room.
Advantage of such decision is that electricity maintenance activities can be performed outside the secure space of server room.
Data center networking is the process of establishing and interconnecting the entire physical and network-based devices and equipment within a data center facility.
It enables a digital connection between data center infrastructure nodes and equipment to ensure that they can communicate and transfer data between each other and on an external network or Internet.
We offer our expertise in the following context with networking solutions-

Electrical Audit
An electricity audit is simply an audit or calculation of how much electricity you are using in your home and of where that electricity is going. An electricity audit can help you to identify waste so that you can resolve the problems that are causing you to use more electricity than necessary, thus wasting money and doing more damage to the environment than required. Sky IT Infratech Pvt. Ltd. caters to the need of the comprehensive requirements and analysis of the electrical assessments as per clients need.
Air Quality Audit
Air quality within data centers is more important today than ever. Data centers have unique requirements and strict regulations, compared to a typical commercial site. Particulate and corrosive gaseous contaminants have become a serious problem for data centers and server rooms. In some cases, corrosion of electronic components has resulted in catastrophic failures of equipment, due to environmental conditions such as low concentrations of corrosive gases. These contaminants enter data centers in a variety of ways, including outdoor ventilation systems, adjacent interior areas, and with individuals entering and exiting the facility or critical areas.
We cater to Commercial as well as Data center clients while under taking turnkey projects with respect able track record. Our expertises includes a wide array of dedicated services which includes designing & building infrastructure.
