ASA delivered on all fronts, including design document preparation, equipment supply, installation, commissioning, training, and maintenance, and Zemen Bank was pleased with the service and outcome provided by ASA.
The project was no small feat, but ASA's professional expertise, tools, and processes made it a success. ASA's responsibilities included preparing design documents and getting them certified by the Uptime Institute to meet Tier III standards, supplying a range of equipment for the project, including Schneider Electric's Modular Data Center (MDC), electrical panel boards, automatic transfer switches (ATS), diesel generators, in-row DC air-conditioners, data center access floor systems, data wall reconditioning work for fireproofing, data center lighting, ceiling, and door material. ASA also provided civil service work for room decoration, including room partitioning, fire-rated paint and doors, fire-rated ceiling, lighting, and raised floor systems.
