Data Center and Facilities Design Management

Need to build a new data center or modify your existing one and not sure who to turn to?

Are you wondering how to fit your data center into a building that was not designed for this purpose?

Are you aware that your existing data center may not be sufficient in the near future?

Based on industry trends, most companies will run out of data center capacity within five years.  Industry trends also indicate that the energy costs of powering and cooling a server over a three year period will be equal to or greater that the cost of the server.  These issues and the trend towards high density equipment bring unique design challenges to data centers.

Tier4 can assist you in navigating through these issues and preparing for the future so that these changes do not negatively impact your organization.

Tier4 utilizes over 500 criteria during a data center design in order to create a unique design specifically tailored to your needs. Some of the criteria and options we weigh are:

• Design for flexibility, scalability, thus a modular design.
• Redundant power and cooling strategies
• The most energy-efficient design
• Raised floor or non-raised floor
• Overhead or underfloor cooling
• Best approach for humidity and cooling control

 
Tier4 can help your organization prepare for upcoming industry standard changes. Tier4 is unique in its approach to pre-design/design management because:

• Tier4 does not sell any equipment so there is no pressure on you to purchase a specific product.
• Tier4 Does not have sales quotas we must fill or a “one size fits all” approach to customers.
• Tier4 is truly vendor agnostic and therefore we will only recommend the vendors that are the best fit.
• Tier4 will offer you multiple options and creative solutions that will best fit your needs.
