Data Center, Computer Room & Telecom Facility Construction

 

Your mission critical data center, computer room or telecom facility is very specialized, and selecting the right contractor is one of the most important decisions you will make. With over 25 years of experience, Electronic Environments Corporation (EEC) is at the forefront of mission critical industry knowledge with the latest technology and solutions. 


EEC can manage an entire turn-key project; including the planning, engineering and construction of your critical facility. Whether you are building, expanding, relocating, installing a cooling system, upgrading your UPS or reconfiguring your power infrastructure--EEC can manage the entire project. Our internal network of resources; including our product specialists, electrical and mechanical engineers, and specialized technicians all work together to make sure construction standards, schedules and design specs are adhered too.


Design and Engineering

 

The art of data center design requires a keen understanding of technology trends, as well as in-depth knowledge of network power, cooling, and fire protection. EEC uses a proven model to design data center layouts using spatial, electrical, and mechanical criteria to meet your short and long-range facility requirements.

 Data Center Power Monitoring

 Power is an essential part of data center operations. Data centers must make sure enough power is always available. This has always been a challenge, but the challenge has grown as data center operators have to contend with delivering far more power per square foot of space -- and delivering it more efficiently.

 

Join us and you will walk away with great tips on how power monitoring can help you: 

  • Improve operational effectiveness
  • Better allocate power costs
  • Extend the life of your data center

You will also get:

  • A comparison of data center power monitoring options
  • Benefits of wireless power monitoring
  • Simple ways to use monitoring data

Raise the Temperature in your Data Center and Lower Energy Costs
 
Here's an excerpt from a brief article by Brian Renwick on how raising the ambient air temperature in your data center can significantly lower energy costs. Note that as the temperature increases, so does the need to closely monitor it.

  

The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) maintains guidelines on proper operating temperature ranges for server rooms. Way back in 2004, their recommendation was to keep the temperature somewhere between 68-77 degrees Fahrenheit. A more recent update in 2008 expanded the envelope, suggesting that a range of 64 - 80 degrees was acceptable. This range was expanded after looking at IT manufacturer data. Running at a temperature closer to the higher end of the range will not compromise the overall availability of your IT equipment.

So what does this change mean to you? Quite simply, a huge savings opportunity. It's estimated that for every megawatt that is used to power a data center, another 0.5 to 1 megawatt is consumed in maintaining the proper temperature. Because it can be difficult knowing the temperature at any one location in the room, most companies simply turn the air conditioner up as high as they can. It's a fact that companies can save 4-5% in energy costs for every 1 degree increase in server inlet temperature.
