Data Centre
A Data Centre or Computer centre is a facility used to house computer systems and associated components, such as telecommunications and storage systems. It generally includes redundant or backup power supplies, redundant data communications connections, environmental controls (e.g., air conditioning, fire suppression) and security devices.
More often than not, the management of infrastructure is more difficult than its use. While servers become critical to the operations of a business, their storage and maintenance deter organizations from owning them. If you own many servers, you need a secure store for them. This store is referred to as data center or server farm.
As your organization’s server needs grow data Centre is the solution. Foreseeing the ICT management issues, permanent ICT solution to the University IT requirements and future growth of the IT setup, the idea was discussed with the worthy Vice Chancellor and the Registrar and was agreed mutually.
The University has a mix and match of Tier 1,2 and 3 Data Center setup and is sailing smooth from the date of its establishment. The Data Centre is providing services 24/7 and is also monitored and maintained remotely and physically 24/7.
