The Met Office seeks predictability in weather forecasting by pulling live data from locations globally and performing over 1,200 teraflops of calculations. SSE Enterprise has worked with the Met Office since 2006 to provide robust power systems and reliable data networks that their supercomputers and hundreds of scientists rely on. SSE Enterprise is experienced in high voltages, big data, and high security infrastructure needed to support the critical operations of the Met Office.

Case Study
Predictability. That’s what the Met Office seeks every day.
Pulling live weather data from hundreds of thousands
of locations across the globe, their computers perform
over 1,200 teraflops* to give the world better forecasts.
That’s why the resilience of their power systems and data
networks are critical.
We’ve been working with the Met Office since 2006. As you might predict,
their supercomputers place serious demands on infrastructure – and not
just in terms of heavy current. Millions of customers and people around the
world rely on the Met Office. In turn, hundreds of their scientists depend on
us for robust power systems and reliable data networks. We’re experienced
in high voltages and big data, but we’re also at home with high security.
And, like the Met Office itself, we’re always ready for tomorrow’s challenge
– whether that’s developing smart lighting or reprogramming a handset.
* A teraflop is a trillion calculations per second.

What did the world’s leading weather forecaster need
to cover all kinds of contracting at their head office?
An umbrella organisation, of course.
SSE Enterprise is no ordinary business
partner. For a start, we’re part of one
of the UK’s leading, longest-established
energy companies. (The one that’s also
the UK’s biggest ‘living wage’ employer.)
Let’s say you need to handle heavy
load, safely and effectively? No problem.
We’ve been building serious networks
since the 1950s.
A contractor for all seasons
For the Met Office, we’re proud to
provide a host of essential services:
• HV / LV infrastructure
• AC / DC trunking and cabling systems
• Compliance works (inc. fixed wiring
and HV testing)
• Fibre optic and copper IT networks
• Campus wide blown fibre network
• WiFi network and data and voice cabling
Today, we also have specialists in areas
that once seemed like science fiction.
High powered data centres and smart
reliable energy networks are now key
priorities for many organisations.
That’s why an important global player
like the Met Office places its trust in us.
Beneath the umbrella of SSE Enterprise,
we provide technical leadership, expert
delivery and integration across a wide
spectrum of contracting and telecoms.
