Physical Infrastructure

The physical foundation required for resilient technology environments, from data centre and computer-room implementation to structured cabling, fibre infrastructure and protected-power systems.

Overview

Every connected system in a facility depends on its physical layer: the pathways, cabling, fibre, racks, power and controlled rooms that carry and protect it. Evotec delivers that foundation as a coordinated package rather than a set of separate trades.

Scope ranges from data centre and computer-room implementation to building-wide structured cabling, long-haul and outside-plant fibre, and the protected-power systems that keep critical end-points running.

Technologies and systems

Data centre and computer-room implementation

  • Design and implementation to data centre Uptime Tier levels
  • Data centre power system design and implementation
  • Data centre cooling system design and implementation
  • Data centre physical security
  • Supporting systems: environment monitoring and DCIM
  • Civil works and plumbing to meet the required standards
  • Under-floor conduits and cable pathways
  • Overhead wire-mesh pathways and fibre runners
  • Rack and cabinet arrangements, including hot and cold aisle installations
  • Fibre-optic and CATx intra-connectivity
  • Fire alarm and suppression system
  • Data centre surveillance system
  • Data centre and rack access control system

Structured cabling systems

  • Horizontal CATx structured cabling
  • Vertical fibre-optic structured cabling

Long-haul fibre-optic infrastructure

  • Direct-burial fibre-optic cables
  • In-duct and air-blown fibre-optic cabling
  • FTTx infrastructure
  • OPGW and aerial fibre-optic cabling

Protected-power systems

  • Isolation transformer systems
  • Centralised and distributed UPS systems
  • Monitored power distribution panels
  • Power-protected end-points

Delivery considerations

Every Physical Infrastructure package follows the same seven-stage lifecycle, from scope validation to warranty and lifecycle support.

See the delivery lifecycle
  1. 01

    Pathway, containment and room requirements coordinated early with civil, MEP and architectural interfaces.

  2. 02

    Cabling and fibre test results and labelling recorded for the handover package.

  3. 03

    Power and cooling capacity aligned to the computing load and future expansion.
