With the growth of data center developments around the country, a smooth transition from blueprint to operation is critical. The key to success lies in a comprehensive commissioning process that begins long before the first server powers up. By implementing a strategic approach from day one, data center operators can significantly reduce risks, enhance long-term performance, and ensure unparalleled reliability.
However, many data centers face significant challenges. JLL research shows that many data centers detect quality issues far too late in the development process, leading to costly delays and compromised performance. These setbacks can be avoided by adhering to a structured, seven-stage commissioning process that aligns with best practices and industry standards.
Download our guide and learn the key elements to every step in the commissioning process:
- Level 0: Programming and design
- Level 1: Factory acceptance
- Level 2: Site acceptance testing
- Level 3: Start-up and pre-functional
- Level 4: Functional performance testing
- Level 5: Integrated systems testing
- Level 6: Transition to operations
