An American-based major co-location data centre network operator had just completed its construction of a new hyperscale data centre in Osaka, Japan. Due to the sheer scale and complexity of the large facility, testing every aspect of the data centre's infrastructure, from the power and cooling systems to the networking equipment and software, would be rigorous.

Before it could be commissioned, it was critical to conduct thorough testing and commissioning to ensure the data centre's full operational capability and its ability for fault tolerance. This would reduce the risk of downtime or failure during actual operations. Data centre commissioning plans are often subject to change, resulting in frequent alterations in testing requirements. This posed a challenge for the customer, as they required flexibility and the ability to adapt to changes in testing requirements quickly.
