Engineering, construction and maintenance has become an increasingly complex undertaking in today's data centers. Our blog is to promote an open exchange of ideas, questions and recommendations relating to these issues in data centers, computer rooms and other mission critical facilities.

The blog is hosted and monitored by knowledgeable and experienced engineers and maintenance experts at Electronic Environments Corporation.

We will discuss best practices and trends relating to the physical infrastructure in critical environments like data centers and server rooms; including power, cooling, fire protection, equipment layout, preventive and proactive maintenance, energy management solutions and more.

Electronic Environments offers a broad range of expertise; from engineering, construction and maintenance services (with emphasis on electrical and mechanical systems), to data center cooling and energy management and monitoring solutions. Our mission is to help you keep your critical facility up and running continuously.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,
Mike

The PM section was of most interest to me because of our company's products and I thought it was a very comprehensive and effective presentation.

I have just taken over a small datacenter, it has up until now not beenn managed well at all - no documentation, cmaintenance contracts etc exist over the facility, Our aircons are packing up from lack of service nad I thought that would be a great way to start getting management to by into a PM plan. I need to write the business case and the requirement specification. We have about 15 Carrier Split units and for the lie of me no one can suggest a cost effective minimum required preventative maintenance schedule, I have searched the net for something that says for example "Major services 4 times per year and minor services 8 times per year - and this is the scope of work that is required to be covered on each visit" - can any one supply industry best practice recommendations as the Manufacturer does not have anything listed on their site (at least not South Africa site. What are other data-center managers doing? Sure I can insist on a monthly maintenance but with 12 branches around a large geographical area this is not cost effective

To respond to Colin's question above, the industry norm is one major PM and 3 minor PM's during the year. However, the when we have a PM contract, we work closely with our customer to identify the best schedule for the equipemnt based on the age and environment because reducing failures is the goal for preventive maintenance. We have a scope of work that you can use as a reference (http://www.eecnet.com/equip_hvac_scope.htm) and let your HVAC company know that frequent filter changing and coil cleaning is recommended for this type of environment.
