Assessment & Design

Assessments

PlanNet offers a wide range of evaluations that cover everything from facilities infrastructure to data center operations. Our assessment approach, based on our AAIM(SM) methodology, will ensure your data center plan is built on a solid foundation.

We can accurately and thoroughly assess:

Space Planning and Utilization
Power & Cooling
Single Points of Failure
Energy Efficiency
Fire Protection and Life Safety
Monitoring
IT Operations and Maintenance

Sometimes a Data Center’s weak points are already well known, but understanding which problems are most important and how to address them requires an expert. PlanNet’s consultants can help identify the areas that pose the most risk, identify costs and options for remediation, and prioritize the plan to get the most benefit.
