The Critical Need for Data Centre Operations & Maintenance

At MCE, the focus is on ensuring sustained reliability, efficiency, and safety throughout the facility’s lifecycle. MCE provides expert engineering support for the operation and maintenance (O&M) of data centres and mission critical facilities. Robust operational solutions and ongoing maintenance support ensure continued reliability and efficiency. Customized programs and expert consultation maintain peak performance and extend asset lifecycle. Customized programs and expert consultation are provided to optimize existing operations. Sustaining performance and longevity is the focus.

MCE's Comprehensive O&M Program Components

Mission Critical Engineers provides robust operational solutions and ongoing maintenance support tailored to the specific infrastructure and operational goals of mission critical facilities. The comprehensive program includes several key areas:

This includes evaluating current operation procedures and management policies to identify potential risk factors and weaknesses, and provide tailored mitigation strategies. This enhances overall reliability and operational efficiency. We evaluate your current operation procedures and management policies, considering your data centre’s unique physical characteristics. By identifying potential risk factors and weaknesses, we provide tailored mitigation strategies that enhance overall reliability and operational efficiency. We also assess your management policies and processes supporting critical operations, reviewing their completion, effectiveness, and enforcement. Strong management practices are crucial for maintaining high standards of operation and maintenance within your data centre. Furthermore, we establish standardized practices for key operational functions.

Our team develops and refines step-by-step procedures for daily operations and maintenance tasks (Method of Procedures – MOP). These procedures are meticulously reviewed and updated before major shutdowns, ensuring proper isolation methods are in place. This includes critical tasks such as operating electrical panels and UPS systems, preventing operational disruptions and ensuring the continuity of your data centre infrastructure. We also design detailed, step-by-step emergency operating procedures (EOP) to address various critical situations. These EOPs facilitate rapid response to emergencies while minimizing the impact on computing loads. With clear and actionable protocols in place, your team can respond swiftly to emergencies, preserving the integrity of your data centre operations.

We review existing preventative maintenance documents, schedules, testing reports, and incident logs to identify gaps or areas for improvement. We assist in the implementation of predictive maintenance strategies where applicable. Our Preventative Maintenance Program ensures proactive care of your data centre systems, reducing the risk of unexpected failures and extending the lifespan of your mission critical infrastructure. Additionally, we analyze energy consumption patterns and identify opportunities for reduction, recommending operational adjustments or minor system modifications to improve PUE and reduce operational costs.

We offer expert engineering assistance for complex operational issues or recurring problems, supporting facility teams in diagnosing and resolving system anomalies. MCE’s O&M support is grounded in solid engineering principles, ensuring that procedures and programs are technically sound, practical to implement, and contribute directly to the enhanced reliability and efficiency of the critical facility.
