Why bother with data-driven design? First, look at the size of this thing. The data centre market...
Choosing the right data centre design partner isn't just about technical specifications, it's about finding a collaborator who understands your business. Today, where AI workloads are reshaping infrastructure demands and sustainability pressures are mounting, you need more than just another vendor.
You need Intelli-Systems.
As Australia's premier data centre specialist, backed by Schneider Electric's global expertise, Intelli-Systems transforms complex infrastructure challenges into strategic business advantages. Their approach is refreshingly different: personalised solutions, intelligent design, and measurable outcomes that deliver up to 60% cost savings whilst future-proofing your operations.
Scalable Infrastructure That Adapts to Your Business
Building for tomorrow starts with understanding today. The most successful data centres aren't the largest or most complex. They're the ones perfectly aligned to business needs with intelligent room for growth.
Precise UPS Sizing for Optimal Performance
Traditional UPS sizing often leads to expensive overengineering. Research shows that keeping load nameplate ratings below 60% of UPS VA rating ensures optimal efficiency without exceeding watt limitations. But here's what many don't realise: downsizing legacy UPS systems can actually deliver:
- Better return on investment
- Lower energy costs
- Increased system resilience
- Simplified maintenance
Intelli-Systems' Schneider-backed power designs challenge conventional wisdom with data-driven sizing that balances efficiency with reliability. This isn't about cutting corners—it's about intelligent engineering that delivers real business value.
Modular Infrastructure for Flexible Growth
The numbers tell a compelling story. Modular data centres deploy 60% faster than traditional builds whilst reducing CAPEX by up to 30%. The global modular market is growing at 18.78% CAGR, expected to reach $85.21 billion by 2030.
Why the explosive growth?
- 9-12 month deployment vs 18-24 months traditional
- Factory-tested reliability before installation
- Pay-as-you-grow scalability that eliminates overprovisioning waste
- Consistent quality across implementations
Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure prefabricated modules exemplify this approach. Integrated power and cooling infrastructure that's designed, tested, and optimised before arriving on-site, reducing construction timelines whilst ensuring consistent quality and predictable performance.
Smart PDUs with Outlet-Level Control
Intelligent rack PDUs with outlet-level switching transform power management from reactive to proactive. These systems enable remote rebooting, power sequencing, and individual outlet control that dramatically improves uptime.
But the real game-changer is the data. Advanced metering capabilities provide granular insights that help identify underutilised equipment and optimise capacity allocation. Studies show outlet-level monitoring can free up power resources even when facilities appear capacity-constrained.
Modern DCIM: From Resilience to Sustainability
Data Centre Infrastructure Management isn't just monitoring, it's optimisation. Modern DCIM delivers measurable benefits across four critical areas: energy efficiency, system reliability, capacity planning, and compliance automation.
Recent developments in Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure IT show how DCIM has evolved beyond basic monitoring. Originally created with resilience in mind, modern DCIM now addresses:
- Cybersecurity compliance and firmware management
- Sustainability reporting capabilities
- AI-driven predictive analytics
- Real-time energy optimisation
Recent research shows how AI-powered DCIM optimises resource utilisation, predicts failures, and streamlines operations with key sustainability benefits:
- Energy efficiency through PUE monitoring and workload optimisation
- Resource optimisation via asset management and space utilisation
- AI-driven predictions that prevent energy-intensive maintenance
- Anomaly detection to identify consumption inefficiencies
One compelling example: Schneider Electric's own CIO deployed EcoStruxure IT across 140+ global sites and witnessed significant energy reductions as part of their Green IT programme.
Site-Specific Risk Assessment and Mitigation
Every data centre faces unique challenges. Comprehensive risk assessment reveals that more than 80% of designs have significant issues that went unrecognised internally. This statistic alone underscores the value of expert partners.
Effective risk assessment evaluates:
- Power outages and grid stability
- Natural disasters and climate risks
- Regional regulations and compliance
- Political stability considerations
Intelli-Systems' approach combines local knowledge with global best practices, ensuring infrastructure designs address real-world risks rather than theoretical scenarios.
Strategic Partnerships That Deliver
One size fits nobody. Every organisation faces unique challenges, regulatory requirements, and growth trajectories that demand customised solutions built on deep expertise and strong industry relationships.
"90% client retention rate – proof that Intelli-Systems builds partnerships, not transactions."
Comprehensive Site Audits and Analysis
Real insight starts with real assessment. Intelli-Systems' Critical Environmental Audit evaluates existing power, cooling, fire suppression, security, and surveillance systems to identify optimisation opportunities specific to your environment.
The results consistently deliver:
- 30% efficiency gains through systematic improvements
- Up to 60% reduction in operating costs
- Risk identification before problems become disasters
- Future-ready roadmaps for growth
Vendor-Agnostic Flexibility
Intelli-Systems' collaboration with Schneider Electric provides access to cutting-edge solutions and preferential support that few competitors can match. Recent developments include purpose-built AI infrastructure solutions featuring liquid cooling integration and advanced power management.
But they maintain a vendor-agnostic approach where necessary. This ensures components meet your specifications rather than manufacturer preferences, providing maximum design flexibility whilst simplifying future upgrades.
Proven Industry Collaboration
Research shows that partnership-based approaches improve both speed and quality of data centre delivery whilst alleviating supply chain challenges.
Experienced partners leverage years of collaboration to provide:
- Predictable capacity and product availability
- Specialised expertise across multiple domains
- Collaborative design and construction efficiencies
- Long-term support and optimisation
