Background
The purpose of this project is to increase the resilience and efficiency of the datacentres at both the James Clerk Maxwell building at the King’s Buildings and the one in Appleton Tower, which is in the central area of the University. The plan is to improve both datacentres to a Tier 2 Uptime Institute Performance Standard, or as a minimum to improve operational resilience to an acceptable level which is similar to Tier 2.
