Facility Condition Assessment Services

An independent, objective view of your facility's risk and capacity
Talk to an Advisor

Infrastructure ages on a different clock than the IT equipment it supports.

Data center infrastructure ages differently than the IT equipment it supports, which is typically refreshed every few years, so the original design assumptions behind a facility can become outdated long before anyone notices. MDI provides an independent review of your facility's engineering, physical condition, and financial performance, uncovering single points of failure, deviations from best practice, and capacity constraints before they become expensive problems.

What You Can Expect

An independent, prioritized view of risk, condition, and capacity.

Full Engineering Review
Electrical, mechanical, structural, fire protection, telecom, and security.
Risk-Rated Scorecard
A scorecard across site, structure, and systems.
Single Points of Failure
Identified and explained in plain terms.
Useful Life Review
Useful life expectancy assessed for major equipment.
Infrared Thermography
Catches overloaded circuits and failing connections before they fail.
CAPEX and OPEX Review
Current and future capital and operating cost review.
PUE & Efficiency Benchmarking
Efficiency measured against industry benchmarks.
Prioritized Findings
A summary ranked by potential capital and operational savings.
Why an Outside View Matters
The assumptions built into a facility rarely update themselves. Someone has to go check.

How You Win

An Independent Opinion
An outside view instead of relying only on in-house assumptions.
Problems Caught Early
Caught before they cause an outage, not after.
Clear Capital Priorities
A clear basis for prioritizing limited capital.
Confidence to Grow
Confidence your facility can support current and future demand.
A Documented Baseline
A baseline to measure improvement against over time.
Works for Acquisitions Too
Applies equally to a facility you operate or one you are evaluating to acquire.

Our Approach

01
Review the Engineering
Assess electrical, mechanical, structural, fire protection, telecom, and security systems.
02
Score the Risk
Rate the facility across site, structure, and systems against best practice.
03
Test and Scan
Run infrared thermography and equipment life expectancy review to catch failures early.
04
Review the Financials
Analyze current and future CAPEX, OPEX, and efficiency benchmarks.
05
Prioritize the Findings
Deliver a ranked summary of findings by potential capital and operational savings.
