OVERVIEW

Certified Data Center Design Group, (CDCDG) was asked by State of California’s Department of Technology Services to perform a Facility-wide Defragmentation project and operational Audit for the State’s primary Data Center. During this project CDCDG would manage the transformation of a 50,000 SQFT facility designed in 1996 for housing “Mainframe” Computers to a High Density state of the art facility with 4X capacity when compared to the original design intent. All of this was completed without taking the facility down throughout the process.
