Data Center Design

Data Center Design & Services

Facilities built for high-density compute.

AI has rewritten the rules for power, cooling, and cabling. We design new facilities, retrofit existing rooms, and plan colocation and edge footprints that can handle tomorrow’s rack densities.

Capabilities

Whitespace to rack to fabric.

Data Center Architecture

Greenfield and brownfield designs with the resiliency tier your business requires.

  • Capacity, space, and growth planning
  • Tier and redundancy strategy (N+1, 2N)
  • Rack elevations and floor layouts
  • HLD / LLD and as-built documentation

AI-Ready Power & Cooling

Designs for GPU racks drawing many times the power of traditional IT.

  • Direct-to-chip liquid cooling
  • Rear-door heat exchangers and containment
  • UPS, PDU, and busway design
  • Power and thermal modeling

Structured Cabling & Fiber

High-count fiber and copper plants that support 400G/800G and future upgrades.

  • Fiber backbone and MPO/MTP design
  • Cable pathways and labeling standards
  • Voice, data, and fiber installations
  • Testing and certification

Colocation & Hybrid Strategy

Decide what belongs on-premises, in colocation, or in the cloud, and connect it all.

  • Colo site selection and RFPs
  • Interconnection and cross-connects
  • Hybrid and multi-cloud on-ramps
  • TCO modeling

Migration & Consolidation

Move workloads and hardware with minimal downtime and a rollback plan for every step.

  • Dependency mapping and move groups
  • Data center consolidation
  • Rack-and-stack and cutover services
  • Decommissioning and asset disposition

Resiliency, DR & Edge

Keep running through outages and extend compute to where your data is generated.

  • Disaster recovery and multi-site design
  • Physical security and access control
  • DCIM and environmental monitoring
  • Edge and micro data center sites

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How is an AI data center different from a traditional one?

GPU racks can draw 40 to more than 130 kW, many times a traditional rack. That changes everything from power distribution and UPS sizing to cooling, which increasingly means direct-to-chip liquid cooling or rear-door heat exchangers.

Can you retrofit our existing data center for GPUs?

Often, yes. We assess available power, cooling capacity, floor loading and cabling, then design a retrofit plan or recommend colocation for the highest-density racks.

Do you help with data center migrations?

Yes. We map application dependencies, build move groups, plan cutovers with rollback steps, and handle rack-and-stack, decommissioning and asset disposition.

Should we build, use colocation or move to the cloud?

We compare total cost of ownership, timelines, risk and growth plans for each option and recommend the mix that fits your workloads, often a hybrid of on-premises, colocation and cloud.

What documentation do you deliver?

High-level and low-level designs, rack elevations, power and cooling models, bills of materials, cabling standards and as-built documentation your team can own.

Planning a new build or a retrofit?

Share your target density, timeline, and site constraints. We will turn it into a facility plan and a bill of materials.
