IT Infrastructure Consulting -
DEVELOPING YOUR STATEMENT OF REQUIREMENT
Statement Of
Requirement (SOR)
Preparation
One
of our most popular services is assistance in the development
of Statements Of Requirements (SOR) for a variety of IT
infrastructure projects. Whether you are planning a
new 10,000 square-foot data center, designing a 300
square-foot server room, or replacing some aging electrical
distribution components and computer room air-conditioning
systems, we will work with you to develop a proper SOR that
will accurately assess and identify your
requirements to all members of your design and construction
team.
 
Our
SOR service can provide project lead time and budget
estimates, evaluate and specify environmental support
systems, evaluate and specify room size requirements for
IT spaces, while ensuring consistency with your
reliabilty and availability
requirements.
Through
this process, we thoroughly document and express
your needs and requirements to your architects and
engineers, for the final design of all critical support
systems. We act
as your IT infrastructure expert for the duration of the
project.
Because
we are in constant touch with hardware evolution trends
and their requirements (blades, etc.) , we are able
to properly specify "best practices"
infrastructure support systems, right from the beginning.
A
typical SOW would address the following elements:
o
Data
Centre shell construction (vapor barriers, security,
acoustics, lighting, etc.)
o
Access
flooring, ramps, and lifts (if/as required)
o
Equipment
racks and racking requirements
o
Electrical
power distribution systems
o
Performance
grounding systems
o
Emergency
power generation systems
o
Electrical
wiring and cabling
o
Electrostatic
discharge elements (ESD)
o
Computer
room AC systems
o
Heat
rejection systems (condensers, cooling towers, drycoolers,
etc.)
o
Fire
detection and suppression systems
o
Access
control and security systems
o
Environmental
monitoring systems
