Typical situation no. 51
An operator bought three data centers of 2 to 8 MW within eighteen months. Each has its own maintenance contractors, procedures, monitoring and incident history. Management does not know which site carries the most risk, or where to invest first.
WHAT IS BLOCKING
- Information is scattered: maintenance contracts, as-built files, incident reports, each in its own format.
- Local teams defend their habits, and nobody has a comparable view from one site to the next.
- Customers and shareholders expect consistent service quality, right away.
WHAT WE DO
- Technical review of each site using a common grid: power, cooling, safety, maintenance, monitoring.
- Risk ranking by site, from most critical to least urgent.
- Review of maintenance contracts and the service levels actually delivered.
- Prioritised action and investment plan, site by site.
WHAT YOU GET
- A comparable risk map across the three sites.
- An action plan at 3, 6 and 12 months.
- A basis for harmonising contracts and procedures.
Typical format: Multi-site review, four to six weeks depending on the number of sites. Every assignment is scoped in writing before it starts.
