GroDC is a Smart Data Center Engineering Service, a reliable solution for managing your IT and Communication systems.
As computing demands grow, the requirements to manage the efficiency of computer systems also grows – a need that only a Data Center can address.
Grove will help you create a facility that will house computer systems and associated components, such as communications and storage systems. This facility could integrate all user interface points in one (core) unit, which will be treated as ‘mission-critical’ and will work at all times. Grove can also monitor the Data Center to ensure reliability and environmental efficiency.
GroDC guarantees business productivity at all times by reducing unplanned downtime. With effective design and monitoring, the GroDC can have unplanned downtime to as less as 0.4 hours in a year.
Design and Implementation
The GroDC design will also assure compatibility with anticipated high loads, provide unambiguous instructions for design and installation of power and cooling equipments, prevent over-sizing, and maximize electrical efficiency. Above all, Grove will suggest energy efficient designs, a resilient site with operational sustainability through better ROI and performance.
GroDC designing, implementation and monitoring combines functionality and integrity. It ensures reduced CO2 emissions and total redundancy.
Depending upon the organization’s needs, Data Center will be designed as per the Tier Classification system instituted by the *Uptime Institute. The Tier level will decide the level of redundancy, unplanned downtime and other such components of the Data Center. A Tier-IV GroDC will have hundred percentage redundancy and as less as 0.4 hours of downtime in a year.
* Uptime Institute is America-based industry provider of vendor neutral research-based information on high-density enterprise computing.
