Data center design
Plan the room, the racks and the systems together.
We help plan data center infrastructure around your applications, capacity needs and operating requirements, from rack layouts to network and storage design.
What we can help with

Rack, power & cooling planning
Plan rack placement, equipment power budgets and cooling requirements in coordination with the facility and relevant specialists.
Network & security design
Define switching, routing, firewall placement, management networks and segmentation between workloads.
Storage & recovery

Before we start.
Does this include construction and facility certification?
The scope described here is infrastructure consulting and design. Construction, specialist engineering and formal certification are separate responsibilities that must be agreed with the appropriate providers.
