• Data Center Technology Master Format Planning
  
  Today's construction industry is a different place from where it was even just ten years ago. The world around has advanced by leaps and bounds, and the construction industry has had to follow suit. Today's business facilities are so much more than just walls, electric power and light, plumbing and HVAC. Today's business facilities incorporate all of these things and so much more. From redundant power supplies, 24x7 backup facilities, and multiple environment control systems; to complete building control and automation systems, and miles of communications cabling, today's business facilities are complex environments. Not only are the buildings themselves more complex, but also the means and methods by which they are constructed. As such, the organization, engineering, and teamwork required to construct them correctly and on-time are just as complex. Our data center consulting services can stream-line and simplify the process for you.
  
  
• Data Center Site Selection
  
  PTS's consulting experts can provide an analysis of proposed data center site locations including creating conceptual drawings and establishing budgets for the development of the site. We also maintain a database of data center properties in the U.S., which can be used to significantly shorten our clients' site search cost and time investment.
  
  
• Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery
  
  Business continuity is vital to business success. It can no longer remain the concern of the IT department alone. How do you determine the continuity and recovery requirements of your business? How do you identify and integrate critical business and IT priorities into a comprehensive continuity program? Where do you start?
  
  
• Data Center Relocation Evaluation & Planning
  
  It is essential to have the IT equipment migration project team assembled and organized early in the design process. As construction drawings are completed and the construction begins, the team should be very hard at work with equipment planning and migration activities. Let our data center consulting team guide you through this phase.
