Happy Holidays to everyone from the EYP Mission Critical team! We hope all of our clients, partners and friends had a great 2019 and will get some well-earned downtime with family and close ones over the next few weeks before we all go charging into the New Year. On our end, we look back on a great 2019, and can’t believe that it’s been nearly two years since we became independent once again. Time flies when you are having fun no doubt. This past year saw us continue to sca

It’s important to take a holistic and integrated view from design to commissioning to operations EYP Mission Critical Facilities has a long history working in live datacenters, dating back to the late 90’s and early part of the new millennium. We consistently provided upgrade work for the financial, telecommunications, and insurance industries who were constantly adding new equipment or expanding capacities with every new IT refresh.

The first half of 2019 has been a great one for the firm as we continue to expand our team, deliver high-quality services to both new and repeat clients, and as always drive thought leadership through our articles, blogs, and monthly webinars on relevant technical or strategic topics related to the data center and critical facilities industry. We are featuring recent examples, including articles focused on; due diligence for data center investors, and cloud adoption. As you a

In most companies Facilities and IT have historically operated far more separately than in alignment. Most observers understand that this is not the best way to operate but that organizational barrier has been resistant to change. Now, however, the simple economics associated with adoption of cloud computing is forcing the issue. When a data center sourcing strategy includes a cloud component, it is no longer possible to plan facilities and IT independently. Cloud computing p

We are very pleased to issue the latest EYP MCF newsletter to our clients and partners! While we have of course been around for many decades as a pioneer in this industry, February 1st 2019 marked the first year anniversary of our independence from a subsidiary of a large IT organization. The “first” year was on all accounts a big success and surpassed our expectations. We hired multiple new employees (including bringing back a number of former senior EYP MCF leaders), and

December is upon us and in the northern parts of the US it is the annual return to colder temperatures, hats and sweaters, snow tires, and cleaning out the stove pipes. Anyone familiar with burning wood is familiar with cleaning out the stove pipe so that waste can be efficiently carried away and there is much less risk of burning down the house. An Application-centric approach drives an urgency for improvement in coordination and planning between IT and Facilities Organizati

Valhalla, NY— October 29 EYP MCF is pleased to announce the immediate availability of our Cloud Adoption Analysis Service designed to help clients identify which workloads can move to the cloud, understand how it will impact their existing data centers and estimate the true total costs. Total costs include both the expected costs from the cloud provider as well as cost changes in a client’s owned and rented facilities, IT, and operations costs. Many EYP MCF customers are alre

We all know commissioning is the process of confirming that the completed building and systems meet the design criteria for function and capacity after construction, but what is retro-commissioning? The retro-commissioning process can uncover inherent flaws in building operation or design that become evident over time due to load growth or new operating procedures. Retro-commissioning is the commissioning of an existing active facility. This can take the form of the full comm

We are very excited to be able to introduce this communication that allows us to share news, industry events, thought leadership and other ideas with our client and partner ecosystem. We hope you will find it useful in gaining some further insight into our organization and the critical facilities and data center industry as a whole. Our first half year as an independent company has been an exciting one! The industry has been extremely welcoming to our return as an independent

Determining the true cloud impact and the preparation for cloud implementation must address the application level. Corporate Facilities and IT departments collectively struggle with the development of Data Center Strategy as it must straddle the competing requirements and perspectives of these two worlds. Facilities is measured on the stability and costs of the data centers. IT conversely, wants no downtime and wants the data centers to always have capacity for their changin

Data center grounding is designed to not meet code but exceed it. Code minimum design is for life safety and not necessarily for critical equipment installations. There are various codes and standards relative to grounding, lightning protection and sensitive equipment grounding. Code is a requirement whereas standards are recommendations. They are listed below. Many equipment vendors will not warranty equipment unless the installation meets code as well as many of the equipme
