Business Challenge
A global Fortune 500 financial services provider needed to bring order to an ageing and under-managed data centre cage. Over years of rapid growth and change, their IT estate had become disorganised, increasing power and cooling costs and complicating operational management.
Systal’s Solution
- Full System Audit: On-site Systal engineers audited every cabinet, cataloguing equipment, verifying with the client’s wider IT team, and securely disposing of redundant devices.
- Cost Efficiency Gains: Reduced power and cooling demands by decommissioning unused equipment, leading to lower operational expenses.
- Data Centre Optimisation: Devices were logically grouped by function and a colour-coded cabling system was introduced to streamline incident response and cable management.
- Out-of-Hours Relocation: All equipment moves were conducted during off-peak hours to minimise business disruption.
Key Outcomes
- Reduced Costs: Lowered energy and cooling expenses through the removal of unused infrastructure
- Improved Organisation: Optimised layout and cabling structure enhanced navigability and troubleshooting efficiency
- Minimal Disruption: Out-of-hours implementation ensured no impact on critical business operations
