Modernize and Improve Existing Data Center

We have a long history of working closely with small businesses, medium and large enterprises in different sectors to set up small and large data centers that meet their business needs. In this particular project, we focused on a data center renovation to address the increased risk and cost associated with aging (and capacity-constrained) support infrastructure for a tertiary institution. The primary data center was to remain operational throughout upgrades and renovations.

Our Solution

Highlights

  • Increased overall data center reliability from a Tier II to a Tier III with Tier IV attributes
  • Improved power usage by ~20%
  • Rebuilt the supporting NOC and surrounding office space
  • Replaced existing cooling with higher efficiency solutions

Situation

  • Aging & capacity-constrained supporting infrastructure
  • 15-year-old primary stand-alone data center to remain operational through upgrade and renovations
  • Operating at the power and cooling limits of existing supporting infrastructure

Impact

  • Increased risk of downtime to operations as a result of higher failure rates
  • Out of power & cooling capacity to support the strategic growth
  • Increased operational costs due to inefficiency and unscheduled maintenance

Resolution

  • Site alternatives were ruled out due to costs and desire to operate own data center
  • Phased construction tackled hardest issues first, sequentially building for next phases
  • Complete replacement of all obsolete, critical and emergency power systems
  • Replacement of cooling system with higher-efficiency solutions
  • Layout the data center into rows for phased IT migrations
  • Increase the data center overall RLU density to allow the overall footprint to shrink 50%
  • Rebuild the NOC and office space around the data center
  • Efficiency improved +20% and reliability increased from Tier II to Tier III w/Tier IV Attributes

We have an impressive track record in all aspects of architectural as well as mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) and building services engineering for virtually every type of data center building or structure.
