KJ Baudry, Inc.

64 Perimeter Center WestAtlanta, Georgia

Situation:

The subject property is a Class A,325,000sf office building located in a prominent office park and includes a 45,00sf “purpose built” enterprise data center.

The Landlord operates multiple class A office buildings in the area but has little experience operating and managing data center properties and no experience with wholesale colocation.

The Landlord has previously subdivided and leased about half of the premises to multiple tenants. The existing data center leases are “office leases” , denoted in square feet and do not include sufficient definition of power and cooling allowances and usage.

The Landlord would like to lease the remaining data center premises but doesn’t have a clear understanding or accounting of generator, cooling and UPS capacities.

Solution

Review the utility infrastructure and determine the maximum system capacities, the amount encumbered by leases, and the amount actually used by the tenants.

Quantify the gap between available utility capacities and square footage and develop a high level concept to eliminate or reduce the gap, based on physical constraints.

Develop an overall “product definition and pricing concept” that is consistent with current wholesale colocation concepts and pricing.

Conduct a workshop with the Landlord to understand the business opportunity, proposed product definition and pricing strategy.

Identify key players needed to create a full development team.

Develop a “take-to market” strategy.

Take it to market.

KJ Baudry, Inc.

HigherOneAtlanta, Georgia

Situation:

Growing Company with need for 1) software development office in Atlanta, 2) rack space to support the Atlanta development office and 3) DR facilities to support people and IT systems.

Limited Budget; Client looking to acquire leased space with existing data center,

Limited Schedule; Atlanta data center space required to facilitate a planned corporate headquarters move (office and data center),

CRE and Real Estate Broker have identified four possible facilities.

Process stalled, schedule slowly creeping away, as there are no resources committed to performing due diligence on each opportunity, developing budgets and schedules and making recommendations.

Approach:

Survey each facility to assess compliance with requirements,

Assess condition of existing MEP &FP systems and feasibility of upgrading to meet requirements,

Develop a high level design, upgrade cost, and utility cost for each prospective site.

Compare site on the basis of best fit (ability to meet requirements, ability to meet schedule, lowest total occupancy cost over the lease term and flexibility and potential to meet unknown future requirements).

AgilentColorado Springs, Colorado

Situation

Existing data center suffers from poor layout, low ceiling height, short congested floor plenum, inadequate air flow and is generally outdated,

MEP systems are old and experiencing failures

Project to “replace and upgrade in place” has been budgeted and funded but can not be implemented as planned due to the amount of down time required.

Approach & Solution

Develop a minimum of three feasible implementation strategies

Restack and relocate to create clear area then upgrade as each block of space is cleared

Create swing space, restack and relocate to swing space then upgrade as each block of space are cleared

Vacate adjacent office space, create new data center, fully commission, move and demolish existing data center.

Identify planned outages/risks and develop a risk mitigation program, budgets and schedule,

Conduct workshop with management and recommend best approach based on compliance with project requirements, minimization of impact to IT operations, building and budget constraints.

Confidential ClientUS & South American Operations

Situation:

International company providing (insourcing) IT operations and call center services,

Multiple Data centers and call centers located around the world,

Customer contracts carry Service Level Agreements (SLAs) agreements that differ depending on the type of operation and customer requirements,

Potential mismatch exists between implementation and SLA requirements,

Challenges:

Survey limited to one day per facility,

No single benchmark for comparison,

Solution:

Survey electrical and mechanical systems for single points of failure,

Survey rack arrangement and air conditioning layout for air flow management,

Document conditions and recommend improvements to meet SLAs.


KJ Baudry, Inc.

Caddo Parish School SystemShreveport, Louisiana

Situation:

Caddo Parish School System is one of the largest school systems in Louisiana. Their Data center supports both mainframe operations and client/server systems , printers , tape libraries and staff on the raised floor. It is outdated and can’t support additional hardware.

School board funded IT equipment, applications and data center upgrades thru a single line item (i.e. no breakdown or allocation of budget).

General disagreement and lack of leadership concerning direction of computing platforms, where and how to spend the allocated dollars.

Solution:

Explore both a main frame solution and a server solution, defining initial requirements and requirements projected out three, five and ten years.

Layout the data center to accommodate both solutions, space permitting. Overlap futrue space requirements as its not likely that both computing solutions will continue forward and if they do, then growth will be less for both systems.

Move printers and manual tape libraries, along with the operators, into a separate area.

Design to accommodate the 10 year projection, Provision for the three to five year projection.


KJ Baudry, Inc.

MirantAtlanta, Georgia

Situation:

Plenty of space, not enough power and cooling capacity (17,000sf of rack space)

Challenge:

Data center is operational. Any upgrades must be done within a live production facility.

Cooling system can not hold temperature on hot days.

Planed IT projects on hold. IT equipment in storage pending availability of power and cooling.

Solution:

Free up UPS capacity and install additional cooling using fast track methods for an interim fix (60 day deliverable).

Provide an additional 500kVA of 2N UPS capacity and an additional 200 Tons of cooling capacity (180 day deliverable – overlapping the interim fix).

Designssystems in a manner that eliminates scheduled downtime,

Implement a risk mitigation program to reduce risk of unplanned downtime during construction, including daily meetings with contractors, review of procedures, etc.
