Data Center Infrastructure Consulting

We provide independent consulting focused on the assessment, modernization, efficiency, sustainability, and performance of mission-critical data center infrastructure.

Our approach evaluates the data center, pod or hall as an integrated system.

We provide independent technical expertise focused on helping owners understand existing conditions, identify risk and opportunity, develop practical modernization strategies, and verify that infrastructure performs as intended.

The objective is straightforward: improve uptime, increase infrastructure capacity and efficiency, reduce operational and capital risk, and provide owners with an independent technical view of how their facilities actually perform—and where they can perform better.

Many states have new code requirements. We help meet applicable code throughout North America.

Specific work includes

  • UPS upgrades
  • Chiller upgrades
  • Liquid-to-chip conversion
  • Economization addition
  • Retro commissioning
  • State and local code compliance

In short

Questions.

  1. 01

    What consulting does Klimaterra do?

    Infrastructure assessment, financial and transaction assessments, modernization planning and design, deployment and field coordination, uptime and resiliency improvement, efficiency and sustainability improvement, performance and witness testing, and vendor assessment and grading. Specific work includes UPS upgrades, chiller upgrades, liquid-to-chip conversion, economization addition, retro commissioning, and state and local code compliance. Performance and witness testing includes commissioning support; we are not the CxA of record. Financial and transaction assessments support acquisitions, refinancing, investment decisions, due diligence, and other financial events. Klimaterra is not a banker, broker, or appraiser.

  2. 02

    Do you sell equipment or install as a contractor?

    No. We are not an equipment manufacturer, general contractor, or staff-augmentation firm. No line card. Deployment and field coordination is technical coordination during implementation, not taking the trade.

  3. 03

    Do you work across North America on code?

    Many states have new code requirements. We help meet applicable code throughout North America.
