Secure I.T. Environments Ltd has completed the design and install of a custom 42U Micro Data Centre 3 at Barnet Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

The data centre will provide critical network services and communications for ICU operations and is designed to a high security specification with passive air conditioning for up to a 12kW load.  

The project took three days to install and involved the movement of equipment between old and new cabinets, structured cabling of the new cabinet, power supply installation, and testing. 

Chris Wellfair, Projects Director at Secure I.T. Environments, said: “Intensive care units can be one of the most challenging locations in a hospital to install a data centre – reliability and security are critical characteristics for any technology used.  Our micro data centre range not only meet that standard, but can handle high density applications with ease, and fit elegantly and quietly into any environment.”

Secure I.T. Environments will be providing ongoing maintenance for the cooling system in the new data centre.
