Location: |
Staffordshire, UK |
Critical Need: |
Keele University currently operates two data centres, with one being within a newly built Innovation Centre (IC7). This will place the two data centres at opposite ends of the Keele University campus, thereby enhancing resilience and redundancy should any disaster or emergency situation occur. In the effort to modernise the university’s data centres, the team turned to long-time partner Vertiv to help boost energy efficiency. |
