Data Center - Planning, Design, and Construction Services

When you need to expand your data center beyond its current walls, renovate its infrastructure or build a completely new data center on a new site, IBM Data Center Services can help - with everything from a total turnkey solution to preliminary consulting. IBM can plan, design, build, and test your data center as well as train your staff on how to maintain the new environment.

Planning - IBM builds a five-year growth model for your system based on your company's business plan, your current and future data-processing needs and likely technological evolution. You will receive a full evaluation report that includes electrical, mechanical and space requirements, along with equipment layout drawings, cost estimates and a proposed construction schedule. The optimal pre-design solution as described in this report gives you step-by-step directions for proceeding.

Design - IBM helps to ensure that all evaluation report topics, such as power, cooling, fire protection and other relevant topics, are addressed and resolved in the final design. If you have an architect, IBM can work with them to help ensure that unique data-center requirements, such as underfloor airflow for ventilation, are met.

Construction - IBM can act as your project manager through all phases of construction. You get a turnkey solution no matter how complex the job — and it's guaranteed. Planning and design are available as separate packages, or you can use IBM for the entire project.
