Wow, its been nearly three months since our last update, that clearly
means that we've been busy with little chance to update this page, but
this will be resolved now. So, in January we completed an ESOS
assessment for a UK manufacturer and distributor of hygiene products,
this meant visits to Belfast, and Hertfordshire.
We also
assisted in the production of an ITT for a new data centre for St
Andrews University, this has now been issued and 5 bidders are preparing
their tender responses. We will be
involved in the selection process and I shall be visiting Scotland the
week after next to present at a bidders workshop. This project is being
observed by the EURECA project (www.eureca-project.eu).
We've also been hard at work on the specification of the EURECA tool,
as well as talking and presenting at 4 events, the "Future of Government
ICT" at the AJ Bell Stadium in Manchester, the Noord Group
Infrastructure Dialogue in Oxford, "Data Centres North", also in
Manchester and our "EURECA" workshop in Turin, Italy. Our next EURECA
trip will be to Amsterdam in 2 weeks time for a tool workshop.
I've also been in Saudi Arabia to conduct a CEEDA assessment, the site
received a "CEEDA Silver" but I cannot divulge who the client is. (visit
www.ceedacert.com
for current award holders) On CEEDA related activity, our next CEEDA
trip will be to the USA, Austin Texas to revisit the ARM HPC cluster at
the DRT facility . We've also been hard at work preparing the next CEEDA
update and taking technical calls with potential new clients.
We've also expanded our standards capability with our Operations
Director undertaking the BSI ISO 14001:2015 Implementing ISO 14001
course and the MD undertaking the ISO 22301 Implementing Business
Continuity (next week), we now have capability in the following
standards, ISO 9001, 14001, 22301, 27001 (via an associate), and 50001.
We're also undertaking a standards contract assignment with a company
in Norway, this project includes a refurbishment of a data centre
complex in Oslo and the construction of the worlds biggest data centre
campus in Kristiansand. We are pleased and honoured to have been
selected to provide assistance to this project.
We've also been
involved in some detailed planning for the website and formal launch of
"Sustainability for London" on the 22nd June 2016, this members
organisation will provide a knowledge base, consultancy, education,
events and research capabilities to any organisation in London
interested in the further advance of Green IT and Data Centre energy
efficiency to meet the cities energy and carbon targets. the site when
fully live can be found at http://www.sustainabilityfor.london/ please visit and register for the launch event.
Thats it until next time....
