The demand on data centres is growing rapidly, fuelled by the ever-increasing pressure we place on the digital world and the need for business-critical functions to be resilient and reliable. This coupled with the advances in generative AI and adoption of cloud services means data centre operators and key stakeholders are continuously faced with new challenges and complexities. But let's remember, where there are challenges, there are opportunities!
So how can we simplify for growth whilst maintaining performance and meet the demands for commercial success?
Systems engineering in the data centre is a methodical, multi-disciplinary approach that considers the design, implementation, operation, and retirement of its systems.
A pathway to creating truly engineered solutions, it connects elements of the data centre’s power train including hardware, software and services, to the value chain lifecycle stages. This facilitates the balancing of organisational, cost and technical interactions in complex systems and meets those challenges head on.

Learn how a systems engineering approach to data centres can support the demands of today and tomorrow by challenging traditional thinking
Adopting a systems engineering approach directs your focus towards designing and planning actions that effectively mitigate issues within your electrical power infrastructure. This method involves moving away from the conventional practice of mixing and matching designs and procuring individual elements.
Instead, it emphasise the grouping of intelligent components that collaborate seamlessly throughout the power train. The result is a well-coordinated and fully integrated system, leading to enhanced performance and added value.
