AVK’s End-to-End Energy Solutions for Data Centres

Nicknamed ‘the power chain’, AVK’s end-to-end energy solutions include comprehensive data centre infrastructure services – microgrids, PowerPods, standby generators, and ongoing maintenance. Whatever combination of this equipment is needed, AVK provides strong and thoughtful design, followed by expert installation. This service allows data centre operators complete convenience and assurance around the efficacy of their power solution, all through one trusted provider. We proudly offer customisation, reliability, and the expertise you can’t get anywhere else.

Why does an end-to-end solution change the game?

Without a sophisticated, reliable energy solution, data centres cannot exist in the way they need to – with zero downtime. The complex design that goes into a power solution is what guarantees the avoidance of this. Heavy consideration at the design and construction stage is what enables the lightning quick responses to AI queries, the rapid retrieval of data, and the odd doom scroll on social media.

The design of data centres is becoming more complex and advanced, and with grid constraints posing as an ever-present barrier to entry, brand-new, innovative solutions are essential. Enter AVK’s end-to-end solutions – the Power of One.

We are the sole providers of end-to-end energy solutions in the European data centre industry. From design stage through to maintenance post-construction, with tailored consultancy and a supplier agnostic approach to ensure equipment most appropriate for each data centre, the AVK power chain guarantees operational excellence.

“The importance that power plays in data centre infrastructure can’t be emphasised enough. It’s the heartbeat of the entire facility. Without it, operations, resilience, and reliability are impossible. End-to-end energy solutions provide security, quality, and the imperative foundations that data centre infrastructure needs.”

Bob Downing, VP of Sales – Energy Solutions

What is included?

Within end-to-end energy solutions are all the services necessary to source, design, and deploy power for complex data centre infrastructure. Every option is available.

Standby power

Providing back-up power in case of grid outages or primary fuel failure. Essential for resilience, keeping data centre infrastructure running reliably with minimal downtime.

Prime power

Innovative and forward-thinking. Prime power – microgrids – allow a data centre to operate independently from the national grid, generating power from its own energy source.

Servicing

Regular maintenance of power infrastructure. For a swift switch to generator power, this infrastructure needs to be serviced thoroughly, and regularly.

AVK PowerPods

Houses the critical electrical infrastructure that delivers electricity into the data centre. Including UPS, switchgear, transformers, batteries, cooling systems etc, these are essential for safety and efficiency.

Why opt for an end-to-end energy solution?

An end-to-end energy solution for a data centre elevates its efficacy. Through one provider, everything is accessed with ease of our customers’ experience as our priority.

A cohesive design

One sole design, created and tailored for individual data centres. This ensures communication between components and allows a streamlined testing process. Every element in data centre infrastructure affects and works with another. One design enhances its efficiency.

Faster delivery

A single provider speeds up communication and improves coordination across teams therefore drastically reducing delay. AVK teams excel in working together, providing best possible outcomes. Elements of the power chain (PowerPods) are factory-assembled, speeding deployment.

Enhanced servicing post-deployment

AVK are involved from the word go. As sole providers of the power solution, this makes servicing post data centre deployment more streamlined. We know the history of the solution and have the historical knowledge to improve the experience.

Above all, our end-to-end energy solutions facilitate speed to power. In our current climate, where waiting for a grid connection delays projects by up to a decade, speed to power is the most valuable thing a data centre operator can seek. AVK holds the solution.
