As a colocation provider, our customer has to meet stringent timelines to get its new data centre up, running, and providing support for businesses as fast as possible. 

The customer had a strict RFS (Ready for Service) timeline – a firm date by which the data centre needed to be operating and meeting performance requirements for service quality. 

To meet this deadline, the customer needed to get power online for their data centre as fast as possible, so that they could run the tests needed to prove that the data centre was functioning to a high standard.

The challenge? Any temporary data centre power system design would need to be implemented during construction. Safely running cables and finding space for generators on a construction site would be no mean feat, particularly as plans for the layout of the site continued to evolve.
