Data Center Automation & Integration

Mission Critical Data Center Automation & Integration Solutions

Baker Group is a leading data center systems integrator executing high-availability architecture solutions for hyperscale data centers, edge and colocation facilities and more mission critical operations across the U.S. Specializing in data center automation and integration, our multi-trade team supports mission critical infrastructure with solutions that ensure uptime, uninterrupted performance and real-time visibility for core systems.

From design and implementation to quality control and commissioning, we build data center redundancy into system controls and operations. This allows your facility unprecedented access to key performance data as well as the ability to optimize essential systems responsible for uptime, like cooling solutions and power distribution units. Our custom control panels and logic systems enable your facility to monitor and maintain key equipment, promoting operational efficiencies necessary to achieve continuous uptime.

Integrating High-Availibility Architecture For Data Center Redundancy

As a data center systems integrator with multi-trade expertise building mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems, our approach to integrating high-availability architecture involves a combination of detailed failover system design and real-time monitoring solutions. Redundant design helps our mission critical data center clients attain N+1 or 2N redundancies in line with operational goals. In conjunction, our data center automation capabilities make it possible to facilitate seamless failover integration with shared data and logic. Connectivity of this high-availability architecture allows mission critical facilities to detect system flaws, inefficiencies and load imbalances for immediate action when units fail. Explore our automated solutions ensuring mission critical MEP systems don't miss a beat.

Data Center BMS

Data Center Building Management Systems (BMS)

Our automation specialists design and implement comprehensive building management systems (BMS) for data centers to centralize mission critical controls and monitoring. Combining data for mechanical, electrical and life safety technology into one convenient dashboard supports initiatives related to sustainability, compliance, predictive maintenance, cost control and energy efficiency. We enable your facility to maintain a high level of certainty for data center redundancy with instant alerts detecting system failure. Plus, through integrated failover system tracking, you can easily confirm back-up equipment remains ready. With custom data center automations tailored to your operations, we can also optimize your redundant systems to deploy immediately in response to an error or alert.

Another defining aspect of our data center BMS solutions is the ability to seamlessly balance loads for high-availability architecture. Proactive load management ensures all systems are primed for continuous performance, mitigating risk of failure and reducing costs through automated efficiencies. By integrating a single-platform management and monitoring system for mission critical operations, we deliver next-level efficiencies for our clients. Maximize the life of your high-availability systems with Baker Group as your data center systems integrator.

Data Center EPMS & PDCS

Data Center Electrical Power Monitoring Systems (EPMS) & Power Distribution Control Systems (PDCS)

Along with our data center automation expertise, we’re also an experienced electrical contractor for mission critical environments. Fabricating high-availability electrical systems like power distribution units (PDUs) and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) solutions, we provide the foundation of your high-availability architecture. Through automation, we enhance the performance of these key electrical systems. Our automation experts program and build power distribution control systems (PDCS) and electrical power monitoring systems (EPMS) for data centers to control power flow safely and efficiently.

EPMS integration provides real-time insights on critical systems, like PDUs and UPS, analyzing performance to identify and warn against potential faults before they lead to failure. We incorporate PDCS solutions to run in tandem with EPMS technology and tailor both to your data center redundancy strategy. With these systems running jointly, our automated solutions streamline load management to balance across redundant systems and facilitate the most energy-efficient uptime. This maximizes the lifespan of power systems and prevents outages by routing power through the optimal pathways. We can further streamline data center integration by connecting both systems to the facility BMS for ultimate control over mission critical operations.

Failover Systems

Data Center Redundancy & Failover Systems

In addition to implementing facility-wide controls like BMS and EPMS solutions for data centers, our role as a data center systems integrator encompasses programming individual failover logic for redundant mechanical and electrical components. We strengthen high-availability architecture with localized failover mechanisms including uninterruptible power supplies, automatic transfer switches and hot standby control architecture. By supporting automation at the equipment level, we enable facilities to isolate issues with individual failover responses as the first line of defense. Standby systems run parallel with live systems to provide immediate relief. Our team works diligently to apply tiered automation controls across mission critical data center infrastructure so singular failures don’t take out the entire facility.

Promoting Uptime Across The U.S. With Data Center Systems Integration

We apply our data center automation and integration expertise for mission critical facilities across the U.S, developing high-availability architecture for some of the largest cloud-based operations in the world. Through redundant design, integrated execution and stringent quality control, we position mission critical data center operations for uptime, all the time.

Mitigating Risk With Pre-Commissioned Modules For Data Center Integration

With 450,000+ square feet of offsite manufacturing space centrally located at our headquarters in Iowa, we design, build and commission automated MEP racks and skids to ship anywhere in the U.S. Our two certified UL panel shops enable in-house fabrication of custom electrical controls to mitigate risk and meet tight production schedules. Through modularization and integration of core functionality into single racks and skids, we reduce the labor burden on limited workforces, offer a higher standard of quality control and ensure a quicker speed-to-market.

Before we ship our modular systems, we conduct factory witness testing as a value add for our quality assurance process, further mitigating risk, demonstrating system readiness and ensuring all technical specifications are met. Our data center automation systems arrive at the job site pre-commissioned and one step closer to performance-ready.
