11:20 Facility Grid: Know your Data Center is operationally ready day one

Today’s Data Center designs are more complex as owners seek to maximize energy efficiency and sustainability while ensuring reliability. In addition, an increased demand in new Data Centers puts pressure on the construction teams to deliver them faster. In this environment, sound planning and oversight are critical for ensuring the operational readiness of facilities, people, and information on day one and beyond. It is essential for building owners to know what has been done at any given point during the project and at turnover. It is even more important to know what’s not done before considering a Data Center operationally ready.
