Advanced Power Technology are proud to have contributed to the Newcastle Civic Centre’s £45m revamp by designing and installing a new 200kW data-centre to support the critical IT operations in the heart of the city. Newcastle City Council has recently transformed its data centre operations, consolidating its main IT systems into a single data hall, with upgraded power and cooling infrastructure and new management software by Schneider Electric. In the process, it has improved resilience and uptime, simplified the management of all its infrastructure equipment, and made part of its data centre available to other organisations, which helps to offset the costs of its operations.
“As a public body we are always looking for cost and energy efficiencies. APT and Schneider Electric were able to design and deliver an overall data centre solution that meets our needs and our expectations”.
Paul Monaghan, IT services – Newcastle City Council
Goal
Standardise and Consolidate!
Reduced carbon footprint and cut energy costs!
Increase the resilience of IT systems!
