Data Centres are at the core of Corporate and Internet business and are foundations of the world economy. Data Centres exist to satisfy a growing demand to support mission critical applications with reliable, robust and flexible network infrastructures.

Complex issues impacting a Data Centres operational efficiency must be addressed in all aspects of Data Centre design to ensure optimum performance and improved return on investment. Ultimate service reliability is essential as downtime costs money, and new technologies must be embraced to maximise network performance, availability and business continuity. Essentially Data Centres house and process information. Government, Industry or the public at large may own the information.

Whomever the owner there are common demands, such as instant access to current and accurate data 24/7, on demand and without disruption, 365 days a year. The reliable operation of the Data Centre is second only to the security and integrity of the information held and processed there. The availability, or ‘uptime’, of the Data Centre is assured by the performance and quality of all of its critical parts, not least of which is the cabling infrastructure. The IT cabling infrastructure in the Data Centre provides: a transportation path for the reliable transmission of data, flexibility to support the churn experienced with MACs (Moves, Adds and Changes) and future proofing to allow simple upgrades to the next transmission technology as and when required.

In the Data Centre environment a well designed cabling system provides the reliable foundation for the IT network and also improves the operational efficiency of the facility. The right system can provide the facility stakeholders with a competitive advantage to support their business.
