Project at a Glance

Project Type: New Head Office Facility

Location: Reading, United Kingdom

Equipment Installed: Customised 43U USpace 5210 Racks and EDGE-3 Soundproof MDC

Customer Benefits:

  • Customised rack solutions to ensure white-space optimisation

The Customer

Three UK looked to USystems and Datacom to effectively deliver IT enclosures for the new head office facility in the UK. The build consisted of a main data centre comprised of 48 Racks.

The racks needed to be of several different custom cable management specifications as well as a bespoke height, to fit into a small lift and maximise the effectiveness of equipment on site. The USystems Design and Engineering team completed the custom designs on a short timeline, and the USystems Operations Team built and delivered the racks to schedule without any issues or delays.

The design also included 3 x smaller comms rooms for which the EDGE-3 MDC was selected for flexibility on site with its built-in cooling and sound proofing capabilities. The width of 780mm frame made them easy to deploy and the addition of a 300mm deep extension frame allowed them more space for cable management and PDUs.

The Datacom Team project managed the delivery and on-site installation, having a team on site made for simple effective communication and an issue free project.

The Datacom project management was also vital in liaising between USystems and Three to ensure the bespoke cable management was ideal for site.

The expert team at Three helped both USystems and Datacom in delivering a successful project.
