CHALLENGE
The client broke ground on a 210,000 square foot data center in Colorado Springs to support its online retail market.
The build included stringent timelines to meet the customer’s completion date.
SOLUTION
Wachter worked closely with the customer’s ISD team to develop a solution to meet the client’s deadlines.
Wachter’s experienced technicians installed over 350 cabinets, 150 two-post racks, 70,000 strands of fiber optic cabling, and thousands of copper iPatch cables and fiber jumpers.
The fiber solution consisted of both SM fiber and OM3 MM fiber with MPO connectors. The Systemax iPatch copper solution utilized smart patch panels.
RESULTS
Wachter met the aggressive construction schedule and the customer was pleased with Wachter’s performance.
Due to the success of this complex project, the client partners with Wachter for data centers and data colocation centers.
