Data Center & Critical Infrastructure Support
We provide specialized services for data centers and other mission-critical
facilities (such as telecom hubs, banks, and hospitals) where downtime is not an
option. Our expertise covers the design, optimization, and maintenance of critical
infrastructure systems – including power supply continuity, cooling systems, and
monitoring – to ensure these facilities run smoothly 24/7. With Africa’s digital revolution
underway, local data centers are booming, yet the continent still accounts for <1% of
the world’s data center capacity[4]. RSCION Tech is here to support the growth of
this sector by applying global best practices tailored to African conditions.
Services Offered:
– Data Center Power Design & Audit: We design robust electrical setups for data
centers – from redundant UPS arrangements and backup generator integration to power distribution units (PDUs) and automatic transfer switches. If a client already has a facility, we conduct audits to identify single points of failure or inefficiencies in their current power infrastructure, then recommend upgrades (e.g. adding a second UPS for redundancy as well as improving earthing and also surge protection).
– Cooling and Environmental Control: Proper cooling is vital for data center reliability. We help size and deploy cooling solutions (HVAC, precision air conditioning, hot/cold aisle containment) that keep servers at safe temperatures. Our team also advises on energy-efficient cooling methods (like free cooling or liquid cooling where applicable) to cut electricity costs. We take into account Africa’s climate, ensuring solutions are effective even in high ambient temperatures.
– Monitoring & Management Systems: Deployment of Data Center Infrastructure
Management (DCIM) tools and remote monitoring systems. We set up sensors for temperature, humidity, airflow, and security, as well as software that gives facility managers a real-time view of all critical systems. This includes integrating fire suppression and access control into a unified dashboard.
– Uptime Maintenance & Emergency Support: We offer maintenance contracts to regularly test backup power (UPS batteries, generators) and cooling units, perform failover drills, and keep firmware and configurations up to date. In case of emergencies, our team is on call to respond rapidly to incidents. We also train client staff in best practices and emergency procedures, borrowing from international standards (like Tier certifications and ITIL processes).
– Infrastructure Expansion Planning: As businesses grow, so do their data needs. We assist clients in planning expansions or new data center builds. This includes capacity planning (power and cooling load projections), site selection advice (considering proximity to power and fiber networks), and scalable design so the facility can grow modularly without major overhauls.

What Makes Our Approach Special:
We understand that a data center in Accra or Nairobi faces different constraints than one in London or New York. Our approach is hyper-tailored to local needs: for example, designing power systems that handle not just one but multiple grid outages per day, or specifying equipment with extra tolerance for dust and heat. Yet, we never compromise on global standards – reliability and uptime are non-negotiable. Our dual experience in Africa and abroad means we translate the proven methods from leading data centers worldwide into cost-effective solutions for African enterprises. We are also vendor-neutral and can work across brands (APC/Schneider, Vertiv, Huawei, etc.), always focusing on what fits the client’s budget and growth plans. Furthermore, we incorporate sustainability into critical infrastructure – suggesting solar or battery backups to reduce diesel generator use, and optimizing cooling for energy efficiency. By blending reliability, efficiency, and local savvy, we ensure our clients’ critical facilities are prepared to support Africa’s digital future with confidence.
