Data Centre Practice Offerings
Source: C-Net Training
For the last twenty years ORION Cybernetics has program managed large-scale data centre projects within the high technology, educational and healthcare industry segments. We are particularly adept in the advance planning and programming of complex installations/relocations and have developed and managed the installation, commissioning, and relocation of leading edge infrastructures and planned the consolidation of staff and technology for thousands of end user clients.
ORION, either as an agent of the Client organization, or as a complementary member of the design and consultant community, will account for and articulate client-side criterion that is in full concert with the business need, and the operational and environmental requirements of the data centre operator(s).
With years of proven hands-on experience and a practical approach and methodology that embraces industry best practices, ORION has worked internationally providing clients with (i) data centre facilities and real property assessments; conceptual blocking and order-of-magnitude costing; integrated logistical task/schedule modeling; architectural, electrical, mechanical design criterion; facility design-build and infrastructure fit-up; and cutover-relocation planning and migration management.
Relocation planning, in many instances left too late in the program plan, should not happen in isolation of the data centre facility and its technology infrastructure. The relocation plan shall ensure: that requirements & feasibility are determined, business requirements and their interdependencies are identified, alternatives are analyzed, and the business parameters are quantified. The principal outcome is the production of the technical statement of requirement married to comprehensive project logic.
Emphasis is directed at the communication of:
The master plan ensures that acquisition, infrastructure, capacity, efficiency and facility design(s) all provide the client organization with the means and ability to roll out the deployment plan in response to immediate requirements and future needs.

Emphasis is directed at the communication of:
- a comprehensive, consolidated program schedule and interdependencies;
- a technical statement of requirements for the design and delivery of the Data Centre(s),
- the stability of the environment prior to critical services migration ;
- consolidated move management activities;
- assertive risk management techniques ; and
- the delivery and program management of the aforementioned.
The master plan ensures that acquisition, infrastructure, capacity, efficiency and facility design(s) all provide the client organization with the means and ability to roll out the deployment plan in response to immediate requirements and future needs.
