Data Center Solutions
Data center life cycle management refers to the comprehensive process of design , development, maintenance, commissioning and eventual decommissioning of a data center. Nikom involves several key stages to ensure that a data center remains efficient, reliable, and cost-effective throughout its operational life.
Plan & Design
-
Requirements Analysis: Identifying current and future capacity, performance, and security needs.
-
Site Selection: Choosing the appropriate location based on factors like energy availability, cooling, connectivity, and physical security.
-
Design: Developing the architectural, electrical, mechanical, and network design, emphasizing scalability and energy efficiency.
Operation & Maintenance
-
Monitoring: Using tools to continuously monitor performance, temperature, power usage, and security.
-
Maintenance: Regular updates, repairs, and replacements of critical systems such as UPS (uninterruptible power supplies), HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), and network hardware.
-
Security: Implementing and updating physical and cybersecurity measures to safeguard against attacks and unauthorized access.
Optimization
-
Energy Efficiency: Continuously improving energy usage through technologies like virtualization, power management, and efficient cooling systems.
-
Capacity Management: Adjusting resources to match demand while avoiding over-provisioning.
-
Cost Management: Managing operational expenses by optimizing power usage and minimizing downtime.
