Energy PUE Assessment – reduce energy consumption and costs. An A.G. Coombs Energy Assessment will identify where power is being consumed within the facility, calculate the Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) industry benchmark and provide strategies for driving power efficiency improvements.

Capacity Assessment – align Data Centre capacity planning with ICT growth projections. An A.G. Coombs Data Centre Capacity Assessment will analyse the rated capacity and load of key electrical and cooling systems and provide recommendations on best fit solutions for extending capacity to meet your ICT growth projections.

Resilience Assessment – assess configuration and condition of key facility infrastructure. An A.G. Coombs ICT Facility Resilience Assessment will assess the conditional resilience of your facility relative to your ICT availability requirements and provide recommendations for improvement.

Concept Design – maximise availability, scalability and efficiency. When upgrading or building a new facility, we can tailor a design to suit your needs and your site. Using industry standards and next generation design best practice, we will help you explore critical design decisions and trade-offs between cost, availability, energy efficiency, scalability, capacity and spatial requirements.
