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
Live Data Center Renovation
In order to address a facility with outdated power and cooling infrastructure (with no capacity for growth), PTS needed to perform site upgrades live, while the data center remained operational throughout construction.
We were able to improve the efficiency, resiliency, and reliability of the data center. PTS installed an upgraded 28kv substation, two critical UPS systems, and implemented an air containment system.
Highlights:
- Installation of 2 new Critical UPS Systems to create A/B power
- Increased overall data center reliability from a Tier I to a Tier III with Tier IV attributes
- Installation of a new utility substation to upgrade the site to 26KV
- Construction of a high-density zone supporting 10KW Racks by using In-Row Cooling.
- Efficiency imporovements of +20%
Situation
- Aging 20 year old primary data center that needed to remain operational throughout construction
- Operating at the power and cooling limits of existing supporting infrastructure
- The facility had experienced multiple outages in the past
Impact
- Increased risk of downtime to operations as a result of higher failure rates
- Out of power & cooling capacity to support the strategic growth
- Increased operational costs due to inefficiency and unscheduled maintenance
Resolution
- Site alternatives were considered and ruled out due to costs
- Phased-construction approach to tackle the hardest issues first, sequentially building for the next phases of work
- Installation of 2 new Critical UPS Systems to create A/B power with plans to upgraded further in a future phase
- Installation of a new utility substation to upgrade the site to 26KV
- Construction of a high-density zone supporting 10KW Racks with in-row cooling
- Complete replacement of all critical and emergency power systems along with the accompanying distribution
- Air Containment and upgrade of traditional perimeter CRAC units was implemented to support the overall 1MW critical load density
- Efficiency improvements of +20% and increased reliability from Tier I to a Tier III w/ Tier IV attributes

The Key to Cutting Data Center Construction Costs? Use Minimal Infrastructure
The average enterprise data center costs between $10 million and $12 million per megawatt to build, with costs typically front-loaded onto the first few megawatts of deployment. Seasoned data center builder Peter Sacco, founder and CEO of PTS Data Center Solutions, claims that it is possible to drive down costs by around 25 per cent or more, simply by being more disciplined on design.
