CASE STUDY but they are interested in the relationship that their products have with the other elements , regardless of whether or not these are Panduit solutions .”
For the development of this project , Panduit was a key ally ; due to their immediate reaction in offering a solution tailored to the unique needs of Codisa .
• Compliance with the times established in the work schedule , derived from the availability of supplies and rapid response from Panduit .
• Decrease in implementation times during construction of up to 30 % and decrease in on-site personnel of up to 50 %, due to Panduit ’ s preassembled solutions .
Diego Cardoza Vallejo , General Director of Codisa Datacenter , said : “ In the risk management analysis , we concluded that the solution offered by Panduit reduced the risk in the supplies area , since it has a large stock and an agile production system that offers availability of high-quality products , at the right time , to competitive prices , in addition to having a large number of certified integrators throughout the country , which was very important for this project .”
Panduit ’ s solution consisted of a Category 6A copper cabling system , capable of running 10GB applications ; Power over Ethernet ( PoE ) technology ; Field Term Plug 6A connector , for PoE lighting applications ; cameras ; access control and PDUs , as well as 28AWG gauge small diameter Patch Cords , which are 45 % thinner than any cable on the market , ideal for optimizing spaces in data centers and telecommunications rooms .
The HD Flex System for high density fiber OM4 was also included , which allows space optimization , since it makes it possible to increase the number of fiber connectors in fewer racks , which results in the placement of more clients within a rack .
PanMPO trunk cables , which make it easy to change polarity and gender in the field to migrate from 10 to 40 or 100GB , are pre-assembled , a necessary characteristic to save time in implementation .
Finally , Grounding and Identification Systems , space optimization accessories , racks , organizers and cabinets were included .
Andrés Vicente , Business Development Partner Unitedtec , Panduit Sales Representative for Central America , said : “ For this project , it was essential to find a group of manufacturers with a quick response , who knew the market , the trends and understood the customer ’ s needs . In addition to having state-ofthe-art technological solutions to create a scalable data center .”
Business benefits
Part of the benefits that were obtained by implementing Panduit solutions , to enable the DCII building and the creation of the third Codisa Data Center , are :
WE PROJECT THAT THIS BUILDING WILL
EXCEED 20 YEARS OF OPERATION WITH
THE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPLEMENTED AT THIS TIME .
• 10 % increase in customer capacity , derived from the optimization of spaces and the creation of a new data center .
• Intelligent lighting in the building .
• Scalability , since it has modular cabinets that allow the business to grow easily .
• Projection into the future . Due to the PanMPO solution , it is possible to migrate to new technology without changing the entire infrastructure , since the polarity of the connector can be modified so that it is capable of supporting speeds of 40 to 100GB .
• Advice from Panduit during construction and during operation .
• Availability of supplies immediately .
• Technological solutions that , due to their characteristics , made it possible to obtain the LEED GOLD certification for sustainable buildings , the PCI certification for data processing security , ISO 50001 for energy management , TIA-942 Rated 3 , Tier III Certified Facility Certification and Tier III Sustainable Operation Gold .
• 25-year warranty on installed solutions .
Andrés Vicente , Business Development Partner Unitedtec , Panduit Sales Representative for Central America , said : “ One of the benefits of having selected a group of fast response manufacturers , with extensive knowledge of the data center market and new trends , is that it understands the needs of customers in terms of availability of materials , because the centers of data are living entities where customers enter and leave quickly and it is essential to have a technological ally that supports you 365 days a year 24 / 7 .” p
