Determining optimal capacity is critical for successful data center conversions.

Power Availability: The Primary Constraint

The biggest hurdle is utility-driven: how much power can you get and when? Buildings with substantial existing power offer a distinct advantage.

The Phased Implementation Advantage

A strategic approach allows a project to:

1. Begin with available power
2. Generate revenue while awaiting additional capacity
3. Expand systematically as more power becomes available

The Implementation Timeline

A building with existing infrastructure can activate a data center within six months, then grow in capacity through coordinated planning with utilities.

The Cooling Equation

As a data center’s energy load increases, so will your need for efficient cooling techniques. Your existing building likely has chiller capacity that can be repurposed, with strategic upgrades planned as power capacity rises.

Optimizing your data center’s size requires balancing immediate opportunities with long-term success.
