Approach

  • Data center site selection and design
  • Hot/cold aisle architecture with proper airflow
  • Redundant 10Gb fiber backbone to distribution layer
  • Structured cable management and consistent rack builds
  • Environmental monitoring and UPS integration
  • Migration planning and execution

Deliverables

  • Redundant 10Gb backbone infrastructure
  • Hot/cold aisle design with proper environmental controls
  • 24 standardized racks with cable management

Nonprofit Campus Infrastructure Refresh

Client

Nonprofit Organization (Multi-building campus, 150 staff)

Problem

Aging infrastructure limiting operational efficiency. No documentation of existing systems. Budget-conscious refresh needed.

Approach

  • Document existing infrastructure (as-found drawings)
  • Prioritize refresh based on operational impact
  • Phased implementation matching budget cycles
  • Standardize equipment and configurations
  • Implement MIB for ongoing lifecycle management
  • Knowledge transfer to internal IT staff

Deliverables
