Data center site survey and assessment is a critical process that involves evaluating a potential location for a data center or assessing an existing facility’s suitability for ongoing operations.
Data center assessments provide owners with two key benefits:
They offer a clearer picture of your data center’s capacity, reliability, and vulnerabilities.
Conducting an assessment serves as an initial phase in crafting a strategy for future growth and upgrades.
Assessments can focus on specific technical features or encompass a broader scope, including critical and non-critical systems that support the IT enterprise. Our team works closely with your internal infrastructure team to assess power, electricity, cooling, IT, cabling, security and network systems.
Elements covered in assessments include:
Electrical Systems
Evaluate power sources, capacity, single points of failure, operational constraints, and redundancy, as well as identify gaps in power distribution and cooling systems.
Building Site Assessment
Examine the physical location, including structure, space and environmental conditions. Take into account factors like accessibility, proximity to potential hazards such as rivers, rail lines, and airports, as well as other site characteristics that affect data center operations.
Cooling and Environmental Control Evaluation
Analysis of existing cooling systems, including AC units, and potential for scalable cooling solutions, along with an assessment of environmental controls like humidity and temperature regulation.
Connectivity and Network Infrastructure
Review available telecommunications infrastructure and internet connectivity options and evaluate network resiliency.
These assessments are crucial for ensuring that a data center can operate efficiently, securely, and reliably, while also being prepared for future needs and challenges. TSS is committed to simplifying the complex to deliver a high-quality assessment.
