Express at Global Switch London 2
ControlCircle implemented a migration project consisting of 10 x pleach ControlCircle-Spec racks consisting of 14 runs of 24 x pleach Express Preterminated Unshielded Twisted-Pair Cat 6 LSZH loomed copper cable links. This project ran onsite for a single day and faced some unexpected project management obstacles. During delivery and situ of the pleach ControlCircle-Spec Data Centre Racks, the lifts within Global Switch failed due to mechanical problems. Working within set project date completions, ControlCircle deployed a crane to transport the racks up 10 floors, through a marked gangway of a fireman’s exit. This level of flexibility and commitment to clients IT services demonstrates the reliability and operational excellence of ControlCircle’s Data Centre Management Team, showing there is no extent theywill go to for completion of a data centre hosting project. The pleach Cabling System ExpressPreterminated cabling system was specified by ControlCircle and manufactured within a few days at pleach Head Office Factory in Essex. The Express System enabled the engineers to receive the preterminated cables, run them in and simply snap-in to the equipment racks – taking the engineers just 2 hours to install.
ControlCircle European Data Centre Manager, Matt Holloway comments “Working within busy data centres and installation schedules often throws up installation problems, however the lifts failing at one of the most resilient Data Centre facilities worldwide was unexpected. We were very pleased that the pleach racks were manufactured quickly and delivered to site in excellent condition, as the packaging is strong and robust for transportation.
We were able to load the racks onto the crane straps without any damage to the cabinets, therefore causing no delay to our project. Our engineers quickly negotiated placement and then installed the pleach preterminated cabling solutions into the racks. Our engineers are all pleach Cabling System Accredited Installers, enabling a quick and efficient installation that delivered our infrastructure needs to our clients”.
 
London Data Centre Relocation to
