DATA CENTERS

Data centers are not a combination of individual solutions, but a unified system in which all components work together in an integrated manner. Therefore, data centers and server rooms are very complex and can only be planned in an interdisciplinary manner.

Interdisciplinary BIM Design makes this possible:

• the processing of project information within a unified information system;

• automatic update of materials and equipment in the database every time the design status changes;

• interactive analysis of the system interfaces.
