1 Mission Critical Facilities

2 Designing a Mission Critical Facility is no easy task. How effectively you communicate your ideas to people who are not in your area of expertise is critical to success. Typically, designs are communicated using a variety of tools and file types, largely in 2D drawings but most stakeholders do not understand these. Add to this communication challenge the fact that many project partners of various specialties are required to work together at different stages of the design. Each of these different backgrounds creates a unique viewpoint, consolidating these viewpoints to a single vision is the challenge. Evaluating options for the facility layout in the early design stages can help streamline future changes and avoid potenital operational challenges. Your design solution should provide project partners with a means to quickly and efficiently present options to the building s owner and the design team early in the project so that the entire design process is flexible, cost-effective, and easy for everyone involved. Early and effective planning positions you to reduce cost of a Mission Critical Facility by minimizing change orders and delays. Using the right design platform can shorten your design cycle and result in increased opportunities.

4 DATA CENTERS Enterprises require a reliable and resilient infrastructure that overcome current business challenges and can scale to meet future demands. Panduit is an industry leader in developing innovative technology solutions that meet the rapidly evolving needs of their customers around the world. Their commitment is supported by significant ongoing investment, dedicated manufacturing facilities, strategic technology alliances, and collaborative R&D with other industry leaders. ICE is part of that commitment. Panduit offers a comprehensive and holistic approach called the Unified Physical Infrastructure or UPI. The UPI approach enables organizations to connect, manage and automate critical systems and drive operational, financial and sustainability advantages, allowing a business to minimize risk, lower cost, and heighten agility and reliability. The bundling of data center and networking products is synergistically a better value for Panduit s clients but the clients need to be able to absorb and understand the information before they can fully appreciate the benefits. ICE provides a method of automatically configuring Panduit s best practices of bundled products, and displaying that product solution in a highly immersive environment, explains Panduit Software Business Development Manager, John O Donnell. Customers immediately can derive and visualize the Value of that solution. On-the-fly walkthroughs immerse Panduit s clients in their very own Data Center layout. They immediately identify where they can save real estate, create streamlined configurations for more efficient layouts and more efficient personnel. With ICE we are able to build compelling rubber-tothe-road solutions in a graphical, easily consumable format, says John O Donnell. Our sales cycle is shortened and more powerful when our clients are fully informed and empowered to make these vital decisions. For Panduit, ICE provides: Better visualization of Panduit s solutions Robust, 3D customer walk-throughs, immersing clients in their Data Center layouts Streamlined configurations Sales enablement The leadership at Panduit feels Ice Edge Business solutions is a strategic partner that works collaboratively with not only Panduit, but its partners. The Ice Edge Team has helped us solve problems and break down barriers as we developed a catalyst to enable our Sales Engineers.
