A closer look at the three things that have to work before everything else can.

We get this question a lot. A client is planning a new facility or upgrading an existing one. They know they need a UPS. They know they need cooling. But somewhere in the process, they realize they are not sure how it all fits together, and what happens if one part is not quite right.

That is usually where we come in. At Touchcore Solutions Inc., we have spent close to a decade helping organizations across the Philippines build infrastructure that holds up under real conditions. Data centers, hospitals, banks, telecom facilities, manufacturing plants.

It Is Never Just One Thing

The most common mistake in infrastructure planning is treating power, cooling, and facility design as three separate decisions. They are not. They affect each other in ways that only show up after installation, usually at the worst possible time.

A UPS sized without accounting for the full heat load it generates can push your cooling system beyond what it was designed to handle. A cooling unit positioned without thinking about underfloor airflow will never perform the way the spec sheet says it should. A raised floor installed without proper planning becomes a cable management headache for years.

None of these failures are obvious on their own. Together, they add up to a facility that costs more to run, is harder to maintain, and is less reliable than it should be.

Power: Why We Work with Riello UPS

Power protection is the first thing we look at in any project. Not because it is the most exciting part, but because everything else depends on it.

Riello UPS has been our partner for years. Their Multi Power platform is modular, so clients are not paying for capacity they do not need on day one. It scales as the load grows and runs at up to 96.6% efficiency, which matters when systems run around the clock.

Scalable from 15 kW to over 1,000 kW. Modular architecture. Up to 96.6% efficiency.

In 2025, Touchcore was named the Riello UPS APAC Sales Champion at the Riello APAC Partner Convention. What mattered more to us than the award was what earned it: years of real deployments, real client outcomes, and a partnership built on doing the work well.

Cooling: Why We Work with Stulz

Standard air conditioning was not built for high-density IT environments. Servers and network equipment need stable, consistent temperature and humidity conditions. When cooling is off, even slightly, equipment runs hotter than it should, performance drops, and hardware fails earlier than expected.

Stulz builds precision cooling systems specifically for these environments. We have been an authorized partner for years and work with each client on the right sizing, placement, and integration into the full facility design.

Precision cooling built for critical IT environments. Stable temperature and humidity, around the clock.

The Floor: Why We Work with Tate

Not many clients walk in asking about raised access flooring. But it comes up in almost every project because the floor affects everything above it. It is where cables live. It is how air moves through the facility. It determines how easy or difficult it is to reconfigure the space as needs change.

Tate is a global leader in raised access flooring for data centers and critical facilities. Their systems support proper underfloor airflow, organized cabling, and flexible layouts that can be adjusted without major disruption.

Raised access flooring engineered for data centers. Better airflow, cleaner cabling, easier maintenance.

Why Having One Team Changes Everything

Most facilities are built in pieces. One vendor handles the UPS. Another handles cooling. Someone else takes care of the floor. Everyone does their part, hands it off, and moves on.

The problem is nobody owns what happens in between. When something underperforms, each vendor looks at their own scope and says their side is fine. But the system as a whole is not working, and there is no single team responsible for fixing that.

That is the gap we close. At Touchcore, we take on all three. We design them together from the start, stay accountable long after installation, and give our clients one team to call when something needs to be sorted.

That is how we think infrastructure should work. And it is how we have been doing it for close to a decade.
