The Situation:
One of the largest banks in Pakistan faced a critical decision regarding its data center. They needed to assess the current capacities of their existing facility and determine whether it could support their future growth requirements. The bank realized the importance of conducting a thorough site assessment to make an informed decision about renovating the existing facility or building a new one in the existing building.
The Challenge:
The bank approached 4sight, a renowned engineering consulting firm, to undertake a comprehensive site assessment and future growth requirements analysis. The challenge was to evaluate the efficiency and scalability of the existing facility and ascertain its suitability for the bank’s future needs. Additionally, the facility needed to meet the TIA-942 Rating Level 3 conformity requirements for spaces and slab loading.
The Solution:
4sight’s team of experts conducted a detailed site assessment and thoroughly analyzed the bank’s future growth requirements. After meticulous evaluation, they concluded that the existing facility could not be upgraded to meet the bank’s efficiency and scalability needs. Furthermore, the assessment revealed that the building did not comply with TIA-942 Rating Level 3 standards for spaces and slab loading requirements.
Based on the findings, 4sight recommended that the bank search for an alternate site to meet its current and future growth requirements. 4sight’s consulting report provided the bank with independent and candid advice, ensuring its investments, time, and efforts were safeguarded in the data center project.
The Results:
The bank greatly appreciated 4sight’s team efforts and the valuable insights their site assessment and growth analysis provided. By following 4sight’s recommendations, the bank was able to avoid investing in an inefficient and non-scalable data center facility. Instead, they focus on identifying a suitable location that would support their current and future needs.
The success of this project was evident in the bank’s ability to make an informed decision that aligned with its long-term goals. By partnering with 4sight, the bank could navigate the complexities of data center design requirements and confidently move forward with its robust and scalable infrastructure plans at a new location.
