Data Centers from Edge to Cloud

Our Focus

We design, build, and operate data centers that are great for companies and their people... but better for the planet

Co-Developed Data Center Design Standards

PTS has worked with a large pharmaceutical company for many years, providing engineering and assessment services for many of their global sites.  We have co-developed a set of design standards for IT edge-site server rooms with a focus on resiliency and redundancy.

Highlights:

  • Co-developed Global Data Center Strategy and Standards
  • A/E/C/C Services Partner for 20+ years
  • Assisted with Transitions from In-House Data Centers to Hybrid Approach of 19 Edge + 4 Colocation Data Centers

Situation

  • No Global Data Center Strategy, Standards, or Team
  • Worldwide disconnect on how to classify, design, build and operate data centers and other critical-facility operations
  • Every site operated in a silo using their own experts, approach, and infrastructure
  • No design and/or operating cohesiveness across IT operating environments lead to varying levels of availability, capital cost, and operating cost

Resolution

  • One Team Approach with Global Reach
  • In 1995 design and provided construction management to move the primary data center
  • Co-developed, documented, and regularly maintain Design Standards for Regional Data Centers, Server Rooms, and Telecommunications Rooms
  • Provided design for, maintain the on-going “as-built” condition of, and provide consulting for any/all changes happening within four (4) main global data centers
  • Have provided global engineering services support since 1995
  • Work primarily for Facilities Review Board (FRB) with primary responsibility for managing all data center and IT edge “lab” locations globally

Outcome

  • Currently provide day-to-day “on-call” engineering support for nineteen (19) IT Edge/”Lab” sites globally including attending bi-weekly meetings
  • Currently providing design/construction management support for upgrade/expansion of lab facility
  • During COVID, provided assessments to determine adherence to company design standards with a focus on resiliency and redundancy for “critical” COVID-related sites 
  • From 2016-Present: providing assessment services for sites across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and South America to determine adherence to company design standards for IT edge-site server rooms with a focus on resiliency and redundancy

Situation

  • Have two (2) aging edge data centers, some colocation, & some cloud
  • On-premises infrastructure needs have been shrinking
  • Increased risk of downtime to operations because of higher failure rates
  • Increased operational costs due to increased scheduled and unscheduled maintenance
  • Wasted and unused IT space

Resolution

  • Improved hybrid data center strategy leveraging previous investments
  • Designed and built new edge data center in the mixed-use facility using repurposed adjacent space
  • Refreshed the 18-floor IDF stack

Outcome

  • Updated the strategic plan for data center operations
  • New, reliable, resilient, primary edge data center in the mixed-use facility
