Selection of Sites for Data Centers & Colocation Space

When we often talk about colocation site selection  and we primarily look at the location of the data center, power cost, scalability among many other factors and then consider its design and feasibility for our client’s IT company, or IT department in a company. Depending on their structure, budget, equipment, and IT (or computational) power, we determine a colocation space that is best for them. Below we have listed some paramount factors that are considered when selecting a site for building a data center.

  • Location – Data Center should be built in a place where maintenance, data transfer and storage costs are minimized, along with quick and efficient physical access.
  • Disaster Recovery – Accidents are common in all IT organizations. For such a thing that is unavoidable, companies and firms requite a fast disaster recovery that minimized financial damages and data loss.
  • Power cost
  • Scalability – We point out potential locations that allow more room for upgrades and expansion of data center equipment.
  • Most of our clients and fast-growing organizations and saving them the need to buy more places and create several connectivity nodes is our priority.
  • Operations – It is also important to determine how data center operating will go. For that we have to look at the fiber connectivity, High Performance Computing capabilities, potential for Cloud Computing, and remote management of the data center.
  • Sustainability – For any IT organization to run a successful business, it is important to determine if the data center will be sustainable with time. Our consulting IT department tests all the frameworks and scenarios to help companies determine their future prospects at a given location.

Detailed Analysis of Existing Data Centers

Many companies already have established data centers and cannot afford to redesign and re-establish them, especially at a different location. For such clients, we provide vulnerability assessments and detailed analysis of their existing data centers, with further recommendations that can help them improve their data center’s operation- and cost-effectiveness. These vulnerability assessments are done at the following levels:

  • Critical Electrical Equipment – incoming power feeds, main switchboard, switchgear, transformers, transfer switches, paralleling gear, generators, UPS systems, batteries, static switches, and Power Distribution Units (PDUs).
  • Critical Mechanical Equipment – chillers, air handlers, Computer Room Air Conditioners (CRACs), Computer Room Air Handlers (CRAHs), pumps, and cooling towers.
  • Standard Operating Procedures – maintenance and cleaning schedules, upgrades, rebooting, on-ground work, data transfer, and data storage.
  • Systems and Failure Reports – The BMS (Building Management System) and single points of failure reports focus on the current environment of the data center and what necessary steps can be taken to prepare well for the future needs.
