Demonstrating the Value of Resilience in the Design of the Next Generation of Data Centers
Critical information infrastructure developers are responding to user demands for 24/7 resilience by strengthening building design criteria to limit damage and downtime following a catastrophic climate or earthquake event. Buehler Engineers and Clark Pacific recently completed the design of a Phoenix data center for Edgecore. It is the first to obtain a US Resiliency Council Platinum Rating for earthquake and wind perils, signifying that in worst-case events, downtime is expected to be less than a week. We will present the decision-making and design processes that were used by the developer, builder, and USRC to ensure that the data center achieved maximum resilience.
