Setting up a Data Centre can seem like a daunting task to those who are new to it. And in all honesty, it can be a very demanding, laborious and sometimes hazardous job, especially if you do not know what it is you will need to get. At Synerflux, we have not only the Networking Equipment but also the know-how on how to set up your Data Centre flawlessly for you.

The basis of an exemplary Data Centre requires thorough planning and the essential Networking Equipment that will get you up and running. Synerflux offers various packages to our clients who are looking to start up a new Data Centre system. Each covers the basics and has specific additional add-ons to suit different industrial needs.

Network Switch Equipment

Synerflux has a wide variety of switches and routers to choose from for your Data Centre Network as these will be the backbone of it.

We offer three types of switch variants; Gigabit Ethernet Switch, Fast Ethernet Switch and Fiber Switch, and have a wide range of models under each.

A Gigabit Ethernet Switch is a cost-effective way of keeping things running in a new Data Centre Network. Most come with 32 or more Gbps switch fabric which will significantly improve your network performance. You can find out more about our models here.

A Fast Ethernet Switch can usually support SNMP, Web UI and CLI management interface and is generally for Data Centres that are setup mostly using Fast Ethernet wires. Our variants of Fast Ethernet Switches are of the standard switch types that meet all IEEE 802.3/u/x/z Gigabit, Fast Ethernet specifications. You can find out more about our models here.

A Fiber Switch provides the fastest and most reliable data transfer speed out of all our options and will be most useful for larger sized Data Centres. The overall network management is enhanced with our state of the art Fiber Switches, and the network efficiency is also improved to accommodate high bandwidth applications with security.

Building the backbone with our Infrastructural Works

Along with setting up the Data Centre Network, we also help our clients to build their Data Centres’ physical locations from the ground up. We offer packages and bundles that include computers, servers, storage units and Data Centre management guides to help you get your Data Centre operations up and running. There are a few main things any Data Centre will need to get up and running, and we make sure you get them all at the best price possible for the best quality.

Battery & Server Racks/Cabinets

The first and most important thing you’ll need to look into is racks and cabinets to house the various Servers and Battery units that will make up and power your Data Centre. You can’t, and shouldn’t, place them on a desk or shelf to let them operate. That is a terrible way to optimise the space you have and can also cause problems with cooling and expose them to physical hazards, which will result in reduced security.

That is why server racks are the best place to house computer equipment in any Data Centre setup. And at Synerflux, we offer only the best and latest Battery and Server Rack options to our clients.

Environmental Control Equipment

When running a lot of computer equipment in one place, you need to ensure things go smoothly. Many risks can rear their ugly heads without warning in a Data Centre. So you’ll need the tools, sensors and warning alarms in place to make sure you can stop them before things go south.

First on that list are Hydrogen Gas Detectors. These will come in handy to detect toxic and explosive gases that may spring from leaks in battery and other power supply units. At Synerflux we offer two types of Hydrogen Gas Detectors. Our Fixed Detectors are useful for larger open areas of your Data Centre, where you can install them and let them auto-detect for gas 24/7. Our Portable Detector variants are more useful when you need to check for gas in a specific location where a suspected leak might be happening. You can review our both right here (link to Hydrogen Gas Detectors).

Along with our Hydrogen Gas Detectors, you will also need our other control equipment that can help keep your Data Centre cool. As the equipment in a Data Centre is prone to overheating, having this equipment will be useful in keeping everything at a safe temperature.

Environmental Monitors – Static sensors throughout the facility that take temperature and humidity readings for monitoring the environment and allowing your system to change up the environmental settings accordingly.

Humidifiers – Most assume that any level of humidity in a data centre is terrible, but that’s not true. For most equipment, keeping the humidity level between 45% and 55% is still acceptable. This can be a challenge when using air conditioning units, which is precisely why humidifiers are necessary.
Air Cooling – Of course, powerful air-cooling units are a must. These units can be traditional air conditioners, water coolers, or any number of other options. The important thing is ensuring the air-cooling units can keep the data centre at the proper temperature at all times.

Cable Management & Network Equipment

A Data Centre will, of course be filled with cables and wires running all over it to connect and keep everything running together. How you manage these wires is also very important. Proper Cable Management is critical when setting up a Data Centre. Before adding any equipment to a data centre, it is vital to have cable management in place. Synerflux offers top of the line Cable Management services for all types of Data Centres. We’ll make sure everything looks neat and tidy before your Data Centre goes live.

Along with the cables you will also need the correct Network Equipment as stated above. Check out our list of top of the line, high-quality Network Equipment today!
