Constituents of a Data Centre

To keep equipment running reliably, even under the worst circumstances, the data center is built with following carefully engineered support infrastructures:
• Network connectivity with various levels of physical (optical fibre and copper) and service (both last mile and international bandwidth) provider redundancy
• Dual DG sets and dual UPS
• HVAC systems for temperature control
• Fire extinguishing systems
• Physical security systems: swipe card/ biometric entry systems, CCTV, guards and so on.
• Raised flooring
• Network equipment
• Network management software
• Multiple optical fibre connectivity
• Network security: segregating the public and private network, installing firewalls and intrusion detection systems (IDS)
