Soros Fund Management Datacenter Implementation and Migration

Soros Fund Management found itself dealing with a familiar issue to Datacenter Operators, too little space, power and certainly cooling.  The new IT leader quickly initiated a plan to address this most critical issue for the firm.  As part of his solution, he engaged NewVista Advisors to provide technical expertise in the design and layout of the new datacenter and project management expertise in the management of the effort.

Client Issues Addressed
  • Developing a plan to assume ownership of a data center that was in the process of being built by another tenant, but abandoned as a result of a merger, and to make the design modifications needed to support the much heavier technology footprint of Soros

  • Keeping the current data centers in operation during the design and migration process, managing the lack of sufficient power and cooling

  • Addressing design issues and changes driven by undisclosed lease restrictions

  • Providing a suite of data center management applications and tools to allow the data center to be managed remotely in a lights-out fashion

  • Developing strategies and processes for continued operation of the data center during periods of building supplied condensed water and electrical riser shutdowns

  • Providing Project Management for the entire project, including external engineers, construction trades, communications and systems vendors, and physical technology relocation vendors.
