Data circuit's Data Center Services give you more than just access to technologically advanced physical facilities used for storing and processing business-relevant information. They also provide you with the support of highly-trained professionals who can help you increase the efficiency of your systems and applications.
The data center equipment space covers the hardware components used in data centers. It ranges from switches and routers to servers, cables, modems, and all physical components needed for executing core IT tasks. Data center hardware also includes storage devices and drives as well as specialized cooling systems used to keep the components at an ideal temperature in the data center.
In order to minimise risk, a site survey should be conducted whenever a company has identified a potentially suitable location for a data centre. Data Circuit has a thorough understanding of the risks, benefits and engineering challenges from a location, site suitability and cost perspective as well as a wealth of experience in matching corporate requirements to potential data centre locations.
Gulf Advanced Unity has over 30 years of experience in the preparation of conceptual data centre design specifications (RIBA stage 2). Our innovative approach, attention to detail and focus on the specific project requirements as well as our commitment to vendor neutrality means that whatever the size or type of project, the end result is a documented conceptual design exactly matched to client needs and objectives.
There are a large number of standards that are both directly and exclusively written for data centres or have elements that apply to data centres within them. This standards landscape is confusing and the uncertainty is increased by some standards broadly contradicting each other, while others remain open to interpretation. Some bodies also publish documents that claim to be data centre standards which in reality are not, so the landscape is far from easy to navigate. Gulf Advanced Unity will guide you through this labyrinth to ensure that the most appropriate standards are adopted and correctly applied.

Gulf Advanced Unity offers a world-leading data centre design development service. This is based upon a world-class consultancy team each of whom has direct experience in the design and build of large mission-critical data centres in multiple geographies. These experts have all been employed based on their previous experience in designing world-leading data centre sites or in the development of intellectual property relating to the design and construction of high availability, business critical data centres.
The Tier level / Availability Class of a data centre determines the overall predicted service availability for the site and the opportunity for site maintenance required to keep the installed infrastructure in a reliable operating condition. The relationship between Resiliency, Redundancy and Availability of a facility is possibly one of the most misunderstood areas of the data centre industry. Gulf Advanced Unity (GAUC)'s data centre consultants have in-depth knowledge and understanding of the Uptime Institute Tiers, EN50600 Availability Classes and TIA 942 Availability along with other classification systems and regularly help clients to navigate the complexities involved in determining both current and planned Tier Level or Availability Class. Help is available during the design of a new building to ensure that a specified Tier Level or Availability Class is achieved and that this is appropriate for the organisation ’ s business needs. This also includes refitting/upgrading a facility to a higher level.
