The goal of Integra data center design consulting is to deliver a design that integrates, 'best-of-breed', critical infrastructure technologies and results in a continuously available, scalable, redundant, fault-tolerant, manageable and maintainable mission critical environment.
Our goal is to create satisfied customers by emphasizing pre-design & planning and to provide the optimal solution to meet your requirements. The result is in an early & accurate alignment between scope, schedule and budget.
Integra has a highly skilled workforce that specializes in aligning the requirements of your IT personnel with the capabilities of the facility and the expectations of facility personnel. We understand the only acceptable level of downtime is zero. Your job performance and our reputation depend on it.
Data Center Design starts with a thorough survey of the existing systems & facility. We then work with the IT & facility staff to identify & quantify project needs and develop an understanding of the trends and migrations strategies required to adapt to future changes. Finally, we develop a conceptual data center design from which construction budgets can be developed.
Plan, deploy, optimize and manage your complex, multi-vendor data center infrastructure The need for a reliable, scalable, available and security-rich data center infrastructure has never been more critical to the success of your organization.
Our comprehensive set of services can help you optimize your investments, improve performance, achieve availability objectives and avoid costly problems.
A data center is the culmination of multiple spaces including information technology spaces (computer rooms, telecommunications rooms, network operations centers, etc.) and non-information technology support spaces (electrical rooms, mechanical rooms, security rooms, conference rooms, personnel offices, storage rooms, lunch rooms, loading docks, staging areas, etc.)
The technology spaces can be further broken down into the entrance rooms, main distribution areas (MDA), horizontal distribution areas (HDA), zone distribution areas (ZDA) and equipment distribution areas (EDA).
The entrance room is the space used for the interface between data center structured cabling system and inter-building cabling, both carrier and customer-owned.
The main distribution area includes the main cross-connect (MC), which is the central point of distribution for the data center structured cabling system and may include horizontal cross- connect (HC) when equipment areas are served directly from the main distribution area. The main distribution area may serve one or more horizontal distribution areas or equipment distribution areas within the data center and one or more telecommunications rooms located outside the computer room space to support office spaces, operations center and other external support rooms.
The horizontal distribution area is used to serve equipment areas when the HC is not located in the main distribution area. Therefore, when used, the horizontal distribution area may include the horizontal cross-connect (HC), the distribution point for cabling to the equipment distribution areas. A typical data center will have several horizontal distribution areas.
The equipment distribution area (EDA) is the space allocated for end equipment, including computer systems and telecommunications equipment.
