Regulatory Compliance

Achieving Standards with the Right Infrastructure.

Regulatory compliance today isn’t just about ticking boxes—it’s key to ensuring that your data centre operates with maximum efficiency while being future-proof.

With regulations like the EU Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) demanding more transparency and sustainability, it’s clear that adapting your data centre infrastructure is vital.

So how can you meet these demands?

By implementing targeted infrastructure solutions that not only ensure compliance but also optimise your operations. Forget diving into the nitty-gritty of legislative details—our solutions are designed to align your systems with the highest standards, efficiently and effectively.

What Is Required?

Staying compliant means adapting to regulatory demands, which primarily focus on:

Energy Efficiency: The EED mandates tracking metrics like power usage effectiveness (PUE), improving cooling efficiency, and reducing energy waste.
Sustainability: The CSRD requires measurable action plans for reducing emissions and environmentally-conscious resource management.
Data Monitoring: Beyond carbon footprints, compliance also means ensuring operational visibility while maintaining maximum uptime and performance.

The challenge: achieving all this within tight operational budgets—without unnecessary complexity. Here’s how we help.

How Our Solutions Help You Stay Compliant

Our solutions support your regulatory efforts by providing the infrastructure needed to meet today’s requirements while preparing for tomorrow. From advanced monitoring to efficient cooling and power optimisation, here’s what we bring to your data centre:


1. DCIM Systems: Data-Driven Compliance

Data Centre Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software is central to modern compliance. It streamlines operational reporting, optimises resources, and simplifies key compliance tasks:

Real-Time Monitoring:
DCIM provides an overview of energy use, cooling performance, and power output, ensuring transparent operations.
Automated Reporting: Easily generate reports for compliance audits and sustainability metrics—no manual processing required.
Operational Efficiency: Identify inefficiencies or issues before they become costly problems through proactive alerts.

DCIM turns compliance into a smooth, integrated process so you can focus on performance over paperwork.


2. Cooling Made Smarter: Free Air Cooling

Energy efficiency is closely tied to cooling systems, and Free Air Cooling offers an excellent path toward meeting these benchmarks:

Reduced Energy Use:
By using ambient external air, Free Air Cooling minimises reliance on traditional cooling methods and significantly lowers energy consumption.
Regulatory Alignment: This solution supports both short-term energy-efficiency goals and long-term sustainability commitments.
Cost Savings: Cut operational expenses while reducing your facility’s environmental impact.

Free Air Cooling is an effective and reliable way to stay ahead of energy-related compliance requirements while keeping costs down.


3. Power and Rack Solutions: Precision Control

When it comes to compliance, control over your energy use is non-negotiable. Our power and rack solutions make this possible:

Power Distribution Units (PDUs): Intelligent PDUs provide detailed power consumption metrics for each piece of equipment, enabling you to streamline usage and meet energy goals.
Optimised Racks: Proper rack configurations improve airflow management, ensuring equipment stays cool while using less energy. Reduced hotspots mean improved efficiency and reliability.

Together, these tools enhance performance while ensuring energy reporting and operational accountability remain simple.


4. Modular, Scalable Systems

Compliance is an evolving landscape, but staying ahead requires a framework that can adapt to changes in regulations:

Modular Components: Easily add capacity or upgrade infrastructure as needed, with minimal disruption.
Flexible Integrations: Whether implementing new DCIM tools or upgrading cooling configurations, all our systems are designed to integrate seamlessly.

This adaptability ensures that your data centre is prepared not just to meet current demands but also future requirements.
