Protecting Data Centers: The Backbone of our Digital Ecosystem
Data centers are truly the backbone of the digital world, underpinning the very essence of our interconnected society. These facilities are important business assets that vary in type from enterprise data centers (supporting an individual company’s needs), colocation data centers (shared resource amongst multiple organizations), cloud data centers (providing on-demand storage and computing) and edge data centers (strategically positioned for real-time data processing).
Ranging in size from a small, single server room up to groups of geographically distributed buildings, data centers are vital nerve centers serving a diverse user base including businesses, government agencies, academic institutions, healthcare providers and ecommerce platforms. They are indispensable for data storage, computing power, networking connectivity and disaster recovery.
Safeguarding the data center is of utmost importance. ILD has worked on many data centers over the years – over 13.5 million square feet of roofing surface. Projects have included commissioning and troubleshooting testing, and 24/7 rooftop monitoring.
EFVM® testing can pinpoint and quantify the source of leaks, often eliminating emergency roof repair budgets. Our maintenance testing has saved data center clients’ unforeseen roof maintenance expenditures and water ingress onto their valuable equipment, and our commissioning support provides a systematic, third-party validation about the roof’s integrity.
The more important a building’s assets are, the more important it is that the roofing infrastructure is watertight. Many clients of new builds have opted to take the proactive step of installing our intelligent rooftop monitoring system, Smartex®, to protect the interior of the data center.
SMARTEX® is a highly sensitive leak detection system that provides early warning and timely notification of a breach, potentially reducing roof maintenance costs by up to 70%.
Mission critical buildings require the best leak detection solutions to manage risk, identify issues and safeguard project investment. Our advanced technology provides peace of mind today and tomorrow.
