Success Story - 6

Building Resilience with a Rated-3 Disaster recovery site at Hyderabad.

Overview

Nikom collaborated with a leading organization in the aviation sector to design and implement an advanced Disaster Recovery (DR) site in Hyderabad. This state-of-the-art facility serves as a critical backup and redundancy hub, ensuring seamless operations and data security for over 135 locations across India. Built with rated 3 certification, the DR site reflects a commitment to innovation, scalability, and operational excellence.

Project Objective

The project entails the comprehensive design, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of essential infrastructure components, including Integrated Racks, UPS systems, Precision Air-Conditioning Systems, Power distribution unit, Rack access control CCTV system, Access Control systems, Rodent Management solutions, Fire Detection and Suppression Systems, as well as Power and Network Cabling. Additionally, civil and electrical works was carried out as required. Training was provided for authorized personnel to ensure proficient operation. All the equipments were covered by a five-year warranty, and operation and maintenance services.
