Expertise > Data Centers
Not unlike a heart in the human circulatory system, the data center is the central pumping station for today’s IT-driven organizations. Why would you accept anything less than the best possible performance from one of the most critical spaces in your facility? Data centers must be carefully planned and designed to create the best possible combination of power, conditioning, technology infrastructure, and room for growth. EDI can help make the process of planning, designing, and implementing data center build-outs and relocations less daunting to you and your IT department.
EDI’s multi-disciplined professional engineers and consultants are experts in developing requirements, establishing realistic project budgets, and designing data centers that deliver maximum value over their lifetime. Beginning with your specific requirements and current conditions, we take inventory of your current data center and plan for an appropriate level of growth. Our knowledge of engineered building systems allows us to help you coordinate the facility’s technology infrastructure within the entire project context. Our implementation experience augments the valuable knowledge possessed by your in-house IT staff.
EDI can assist you in the following ways with your next data center project:

“We initially hired EDI to assist with designing our cabling and telecommunications infrastructure – our confidence in their abilities after that project was so high that we hired them again to perform construction management services and a third time to handle our technology move. I recommend that future clients hire them at the forefront of a project – not as an afterthought.” ---Michael Waters, Director of Finance, Northern Trust Retirement Consulting, LLC DATA CENTER CASE STUDIES Northern Trust Retirement Consulting, LLC |
