North
America's Leading Customizable Data Center Provider Launches New
Company to Offer Third-Party Data Center Facilities Management
Services.
Atlanta,
GA, USA (July 15, 2014) -- T5
Data Centers™, innovators in providing
state-of-the-art, customizable and highly reliable computing support
environments for any enterprise, has launched a new subsidiary
company to offer third-party facilities management services to data
center operators across North America. T5 Facilities Management
(T5FM) is the only data center management firm operated by the same
organization that owns and operates the finest top tier,
state-of-the-art data centers in the United States, providing
comprehensive infrastructure support to keep data centers operational
24/7.
With
the launch of T5FM, T5 Data Centers is offering the same on-site data
center facilities management services available in T5's own data
centers. T5FM is prepared to provide on-site support to any data
center operator, bringing the T5 team's own experience and
comprehensive understanding of data center operations from managing
T5 Data Center's seven U.S. locations.
"Creating
our own data center facilities management company was a logical next
step for T5 Data Centers," said Mike Casey, COO of T5 Data
Centers. "Unlike other facilities managers, we don't operate
apartment buildings or office buildings or other property types - we
only operate data centers. That's our core competency and we want our
customers to benefit from our extensive experience managing T5's own
enterprise grade wholesale data centers."
The
T5FM executive management team has more than 100 years of combined
experience managing data centers of all kinds. By offering their
expertise to other data center operators as a service, T5FM will be
able to assist customers in making critical operational decisions and
ensuring unparalleled data center uptime through best-in-class
service.
T5FM
has developed policies and procedures to mitigate our customer's risk
and eliminate operational stress. The cornerstones of T5FM's service
philosophy include:
•
Safety
- T5FM has a custom electrical safety program that follows NFPA 70
guidelines, and all T5FM technicians are certified in OSHA, NFPA 70,
and first aid/CPR/AED.
•
Training
- T5FM has developed a customized facility management training
program, complete with textbook, portfolio training classes, and
online tests. The training program includes details about mechanical,
electrical, and plumbing (MEP) and fire protection (FP) systems.
Training is modified to suit each location.
•
Process
and Procedures - Drawing from T5's portfolio policies, T5FM has a
baseline for all site-specific methods of procedures (MOPs), standard
operating procedures (SOPs), and emergency operating procedures
(EOPs). The overarching objective is superior quality control.
•
Customer
Communications - The T5FM team believes in flexibility and
transparency and develops streamlined communications strategies to
suit each customer's needs. T5FM also provides visibility into its
computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) so customers can
track preventive maintenance, alarms, and trouble ticketing.
