Data centre commissioning

Future-proof your infrastructure with reliable, efficient data centre testing

Demand for robust data centre infrastructure is growing across Europe, from growth hubs like the Nordics and Spain to mature markets such as the UK, Ireland, and Germany. Making reliable, efficient data centre commissioning more important than ever. Every stage of data centre testing must be executed with precision to ensure systems can handle increasing complexity and critical load demands.

At Aggreko, we specialise in ensuring your facility performs flawlessly from day one. Our comprehensive, multi-stage data centre commissioning process validates all key systems—power distribution, UPS, cooling, and beyond—before go-live, helping you:

  • Avoid downtime
  • Minimise inefficiencies
  • Eliminate costly rework
  • Protect your brand reputation
 

Our commissioning process: key testing stages

A best practice approach to testing and commissioning

Commissioning is a crucial final step in data centre construction, but its success starts much earlier. By integrating testing and commissioning into the design review phase, potential issues can be identified early, reducing costly changes and avoiding delays. This best practice approach ensures a smoother, more efficient data centre commissioning process, leading to a faster, more reliable data centre launch.
