You cannot afford a data centre that goes dark, fails an audit, or lets the wrong person into the white space. Yakkaservices designs, integrates, tests and supports the systems behind your facility under one contract: structured cabling, power and cooling controls, physical security, fire suppression, and the operations display.
Yakkaservices integrates the building systems behind a data centre. Here is where that work fits, and where it does not.
When your data centre needs several systems designed, integrated and certified together, and you want one team accountable for how they work as a whole. That covers structured cabling, power and cooling controls, physical security, and fire suppression.
If you need to replace a single system, one cooling unit or one camera run, a focused specialist contractor will often do it faster and cheaper. That is the right call, and we will tell you so.
If you are buying servers, storage, or a data centre infrastructure management (DCIM) platform, that is IT procurement, and you want a hardware or software vendor. We design the physical infrastructure those systems run on, not the compute or the DCIM application.
Your racks run through the night, through a grid dip, through a failed cooling unit. Uptime is the product, and a Tier rating only counts if you can service power or cooling without taking the floor down. That is concurrent maintainability, and it has to be designed into every system, not added later. When one component fails quietly with no redundancy behind it, you find out as an outage.
A full rack can shed more heat than a row of offices, and that heat never stops. Your cooling has to hold the ASHRAE TC 9.9 temperature and humidity envelope continuously, with power and cooling metered so you see the trend before it becomes a trip. When a data centre cooling system drifts out of range, you have minutes before equipment throttles or shuts down, not hours.
An audit asks who reached the white space, when, and what they touched. Your access control and CCTV have to log entry down to the cage or rack, with the footage tied to the event. At the same time, your building systems must sit on a network segmented from the IT they support, so the cooling controls never become a way into your data.
Every workload you run sits on the same physical infrastructure. We design, integrate and certify these five systems so they work together, not just alongside each other.
Every service in your facility rides this layer, from the storage fabric to the building systems themselves. We design and certify high-density data centre structured cabling to TIA-942 and TIA-568-D (2018), with the containment, labelling and test records that keep a busy white space maintainable. When a link or path fails, the redundancy is already there.
ICT infrastructureYour cooling and power are only as reliable as the controls watching them. The building management system holds the ASHRAE TC 9.9 envelope, meters power and cooling so you can track PUE, and alarms on a drift before it trips the floor. Built on BACnet and Modbus, it shows the load by room and by rack row.
Building management systemA data centre audit turns on who reached the white space and when. We integrate access control and CCTV so entry is logged to the cage or rack, footage is tied to the event, and lock-down rules are set by zone and role. Data centre physical security is built to leave the audit trail your compliance team needs.
ELV systemsWater is the last thing you want near live racks, so detection has to be early and suppression has to be clean. We design aspirating smoke detection to catch a fault at the smouldering stage, with a clean-agent or inert-gas data centre fire suppression system to NFPA 75 and NFPA 2001. The release interlocks with cooling shutdown and door control, proven by a cause-and-effect test.
Fire and life safety systemsYour operations team has to see the whole floor at a glance. We design the network operations centre video wall and the AV that pulls building management, security and network alarms onto one display. When an event fires, the right view is already on the screen in front of the people who respond.
AV solutionsFour failures that appear at commissioning or after handover. Each one is preventable at design stage.
The clean-agent system passes its own discharge test, the cooling passes its own test, and nobody runs them together until something real happens. The gas releases to hold a concentration, but the cooling units keep pushing air and vent it in minutes. We have been called to rooms where the suppression discharged correctly and the agent was gone before it could do its job.
A discharge that empties the agent in minutes and leaves the fire unchecked.
A written cause-and-effect matrix that shuts down air handling on alarm, proven in an integrated test before handover, not after an event.
A facility is sold as Tier III, but the cooling or power shares a component that has to come down for service. The day you maintain it, the floor has no backup, and a second fault becomes an outage. We have seen single points of failure hidden in the controls rather than the plant, where the BMS itself was the weak link.
A planned maintenance window that turns into unplanned downtime.
Design the control and power paths for concurrent maintainability from the start, and test a failover before the floor goes live.
Access control records who entered the hall, but not who opened which cage or rack, and the CCTV is not tied to the event. When an audit or an incident asks what happened at a specific cabinet, the records cannot say. We have reviewed systems where the footage and the access events lived in two places that never matched.
An audit you cannot pass and an incident you cannot reconstruct.
Log access down to the cage and rack, correlate every door event with CCTV, and set retention to the audit requirement at design stage.
Adding cabling, a cooling unit, or a power path in an occupied data centre without a method statement puts live racks at risk. A cutover at the wrong moment, or a containment route through a hot aisle, drops a service that was meant to stay up. The consequence is an outage you caused while trying to expand.
An outage on a live floor, caused by the work meant to improve it.
A phased method statement agreed with your operations team, cutovers in change windows, a tested fallback, and no single live path disturbed without a backup.
In a data centre, the systems are only as good as the points where they meet. A fire event has to stop the cooling, seal the room and hold the agent in the right order. None of that happens by accident. It happens because the interfaces were drawn at design stage and tested before handover.
When one team designs and commissions all of it under a single contract, those interfaces are one team's responsibility. When each system is a separate contract, the gaps between them belong to no one, until the day they fail.
Compliance is easier to judge when you can see it by system. Here is what each system we deliver is designed, tested and approved against, for data centre projects in India, the UAE and Oman.
High-density structured cabling and the data backbone that carries every workload and every building system, designed for resilience and growth.
Across all of them, you receive the evidence at handover: test certificates, the fire cause-and-effect matrix, the power and cooling commissioning records, and as-built drawings.
