System Infrastructure Innovators was contracted by the National Science Foundation to relocate their existing production data center which was located in their headquarters building in Arlington, Virginia to their new headquarters building in Alexandria, Virginia. There were the typical requirements:
- No disruption to business processes
- No production outage to end users
- Minimize risks in all phases of the plan
However, there was one requirement that called for planning on a scale that was very unique. NSF required the new data center to be up and running in full production, six months prior to the completion of construction of the building. We had to have an operational production data center running in a building that was still under construction. We accomplished that goal, and every other goal the agency called upon us to perform. In addition, we were asked to help define the pre-commissioning tests for the data center and monitor/report on the commissioning process. As a result, were able to identify a number of problems that were able to be corrected in advance of the operational date of the data center.
