Birds of Prey at Data Centres?

Birds of Prey at data centres? what's the reasoning?

This great photo was taken by one of our crews on a well-earned break from performing a data centre relocation service at Equinix Colocation Centre in Slough, Berkshire recently.

 

One may not be expecting to see a magnificent bird of prey accompanied by a professional handler in a location like this, but these beautiful creatures perform a crucial role at IT sites the world over. It brings a new a new twist to the term ‘data centre migration’.

Data centres are heavily reliant on cooling and ventilation, and typically have an extensive array of air conditioning units and condensers sited externally. As these units are designed to be out in the elements, they’re built to be weather tolerant. However, external these units are usually sited on the tops of buildings, which is exactly where potentially troublesome birds like to nest, breed and foul.

 

He might look harmless, but a pigeon and his family can be air conditioning’s worst nightmare!

 

Birds (particularly our friend the pigeon) can repeatedly nest and foul in the vicinity of AC and other ventilation units, wreaking havoc with the all-important cooling of data halls, and as such they must be carefully managed. A weekly visit to Equinix from this handler and his highly trained birds of prey are essential to keeping on top of this issue. As he told us –

‘She sees the pigeons and they see her. They’re not violent but the pigeons know where to go…..!’

Onsite Erasure – Last Minute Trip to France

last minute trip to france - onsite data erasure

DataMove were instructed at last minute to erase three large Hitachi HDS Content Platforms in Northern France.

In addition to a complex site configuration, this job required completion in a tight window and at short notice. Oh, did we mention it was over New Year too?

As we run multiple mobile Blancco rigs we create our own network and erasure environment at your site – standalone and totally disconnected from your system. With a capacity in the thousands of drives per day, a large array like this (some 9,000TB all in all) is manageable in just a few working days. 


Our engineers will attend during the early hours at sites that have 24/7 access to ensure that any completed erasures are switched off and audited to minimise job time.

onsite erasure – anywhere, any time, any capacity. all we need is power!

Blancco’s advanced erasure platform gives a reassuring audit trail and certification which is fully compliant with globally accepted security standards, ensuring that we can handover a data hall back to our clients with the reassurance of total data erasure.

We also offer onsite shredding and degaussing – read more about the onsite services we offer here
