Challenges on Project:-
- The area of the Data Center was initially used for office-sitting employees
- Designing a Rated-4 data center in an already existing office space was the most challenging task.
- Client required a turnkey data center to meet all its storage, processing, managing, and computing needs for the huge amount of data it houses. A data center with certain modular features was required to be built which would not hamper the performance of all the systems within the data center
- The deployed data center would need to be monitored and managed with a system that will ensure the seamless working of the data center and take care of physical access. This meant a complete security system with a service that could handle everything 24*7.
- Prasa developed a data center in Mumbai as per the client’s requirement, the client wanted a quality data center solution to meet the Civil, cooling, electrical, and Security Needs of the Data Center.
