Data centre power and cooling design

Power & cooling solutions

Modular, flexible, redundant power and cooling

Colt DCS has more than 20 years’ experience in delivering best-in-class data centres. We are a pioneer of modular, flexible design and operation of highly resilient and efficient data centres.

Our in-house team of experts focuses on operational excellence, and builds all power and cooling infrastructure to an N+1 minimum redundancy. Colt DCS’ efficient designs are aligned to best practice and validated by third parties. We work with leading vendors to ensure we are always ahead of the curve. By using modular components, we can ensure you only need to pay for what you require today, but can future proof for your requirements tomorrow.

Innovative design also means we can couple your high and low density requirements side by side, and adopt flexible SLAs that match your power and cooling requirements.

Colt DCS’ internal teams have the knowledge and ability to provide reliant and innovative solutions for all power and cooling requirements.

Leading cycle designs: Modular 2.0

Modular 2.0 is Colt’s latest iteration of our standardised approach to building data centres. It removes reliance on on-site teams for construction and reduces deployment times from industry norms of 18 to 24 months down to just six months.

Our repeatable designs mean we can deploy Modular 2.0 anywhere the market expects and our teams will have a deep understanding of how to operate these facilities on a global scale and local support. Modular 2.0 has also reduced our cost to build meaning we can offer more competitive rental rates for our customers.

The partnership aims to promote more job opportunities for women in technology

London, 30 April 2018 – Colt Data Centre Services (DCS) today announces its pledge to support Tech She Can, an industry charter launched to encourage inclusivity and increase the number of women working in the technology industry.

The partnership aims to challenge stereotypes in the technology industry and encourage more women to get involved in the sector. Demand for data centre capacity is growing, and with this comes the need for talented individuals of equal gender to join the field.

According to research conducted by PwC into Women in Tech, over a quarter of female students have been put off a career in technology as it is too male-dominated, with only 3 per cent of female respondents saying it’s their first choice. This is evident in the fact that 23 per cent of STEM roles are held by women, and scantly 15 per cent of STEM management roles are occupied by women.

Colt DCS joins forces with other leading industry organisations on the Tech She Can Charter to inspire more women to get involved in technology careers. It will also showcase female mentors in the industry to encourage empowerment amongst peers, as well as demonstrate the wide range of future career possibilities for young women.
