Engineer the single points of failure out of your data centre
PCS Global are specialist automation engineers for data centre infrastructure. We design, integrate and commission fault-tolerant control systems that unify power, cooling and compute, and de-risk your entire operational technology layer.
Downtime rarely starts with the thing that fails
Critical power, cooling and compute usually run as three separate systems, each with its own controls and its own blind spots. The danger lives in the gaps between them, the single points of failure nobody mapped until one takes the floor down.
Spread that across a distributed fleet and the visibility gaps multiply, every site reporting differently, with no single version of the truth when something starts to drift. Resilience is not something you buy in a better box. It is something you engineer into the control layer that binds the whole facility together.
One partner for the entire control layer
Integrated control architecture
Unify power, cooling and compute into one live, defensible view of the whole facility.
Fault-tolerant computing
Run critical applications across redundant hardware with no interruption if a component fails, on Stratus and Penguin platforms.
Redundancy and failover design
Eliminate single points of failure by designing redundancy in from the first line of the specification.
Critical power and MCCs
Motor control centres, switchgear and UPS control manufactured in-house to IEC 61439.
Cooling and efficiency control
Bring cooling into the same control layer as power and compute so efficiency becomes a live, managed metric.
OT security and monitoring
Visibility and threat detection built into the control network, through our Nozomi Networks partnership.
Infrastructure monitoring
One real-time view across power, cooling and building systems, surfacing the signals that drive uptime.
Edge and distributed sites
Self-healing edge platforms powered by Penguin Solutions, engineered to run with no one on site.
EC&I design and delivery
ECSA-approved electrical, instrumentation and control design, from first drawing to commissioning.
We do not just install systems. We de-risk the layer underneath them.
A supplier delivers a box and moves on. An integration partner takes responsibility for how the whole system behaves when something goes wrong. That is the difference between equipment that works on the day it is installed and infrastructure that holds for the next decade.
We design power, cooling, compute and security to behave as one system, with the fault tolerance, redundancy and monitoring engineered in and proven before it ever matters. One accountable partner, from first drawing to running facility.
The engineering behind the uptime
Specialist DC engineers
Automation engineers dedicated to data centre and critical infrastructure, not a general contractor learning on your site.
Proven fault tolerance
Backed by Stratus and Penguin platforms with over a hundred million computing hours of proven uptime.
In-house, end to end
Design, manufacture, commissioning and support under one roof, so accountability never gets passed around.
Global delivery
Teams in South Africa and the UK, delivering across Africa, the UK and Europe to one standard.
Verified accreditation
ISO 9001 certified, ECSA registered, B-BBEE Level 3 and a Siemens Global Solutions Partner, every claim audit-ready.
Security by design
OT visibility and threat detection built into the control layer through our Nozomi Networks partnership.
A clear path from risk to resilience
01 Assess
We map your critical systems and the single points of failure hiding between them, and agree the resilience targets that matter.
02 Design
We produce the integrated control architecture and ECSA-approved drawings that engineer those risks out from the start.
03 Build and integrate
We manufacture and integrate in-house, factory-tested to standard, so what reaches site is proven before it lands.
04 Commission and support
We prove every failover and alarm on site, hand over a facility that works, and support it long after go-live.
Built for real critical infrastructure
In a recent southern African data centre project, PCS Global brought several essential operational systems into one cohesive platform, breaking down the silos that quietly create risk. The result is a facility operators can see and control as one system.

Tell us about your facility and the risk you are carrying
You will speak to our engineers, not a call centre. Share where you are and what you are protecting, and we will come back with a clear next step.
Every enquiry is handled in confidence.
Questions we hear most
No. We work across enterprise, colocation, edge and distributed critical facilities. The engineering discipline is the same whatever the scale, resilience built into the control layer.
Yes. We integrate across vendors rather than around them, so a mixed estate of Siemens, Rockwell, Schneider and legacy equipment can be made to behave as one system.
We build visibility and threat detection into the control network itself, through our partnership with Nozomi Networks, so the systems running power and cooling are watched as closely as the data.
Yes. We design and manufacture motor control centres and switchgear in-house to IEC 61439 under ISO 9001 quality control, then factory-test before delivery.
Yes. With teams in South Africa and the UK, we deliver data centre and critical infrastructure projects across Africa, the UK and Europe to one integration standard.
It runs critical applications across redundant hardware with no interruption if a component fails. As the premier distributor for Stratus Technologies in Africa, we help you decide where it belongs in your architecture.
A new build starts with EC&I design before the first cable is pulled. An existing facility starts with an assessment, then upgrades are phased around your operation so uptime is protected.
With a resilience assessment. We map your critical systems and single points of failure, then agree a clear, prioritised plan. Use the form on this page to begin.
Design your data centre as one system
Bring us in early, and we will engineer the single points of failure out before they ever cost you a minute of uptime.
