Technical Due Diligence | Infrastructure Audits | Tenant Representation | Facility Acceptance
McLean and Chase Technologies provides independent data center consulting to help organizations evaluate critical facilities before leasing, occupancy, or final acceptance. We represent tenant and owner interests through infrastructure assessments, technical documentation reviews, and actionable risk recommendations.
Infrastructure Expertise. Informed Decisions.
Our team includes Uptime certified personnel. We are well versed in Uptime Institute’s Tier Standard: Topology and Tier Standard: Operational Sustainability, applying this knowledge to comprehensive data center assessments.
A Whole-Facility Approach
We assess all data center infrastructure components and how they work together, covering electrical, mechanical, cooling, controls, and supporting facility systems.
- Infrastructure resilience: capacity, redundancy, distribution, system interdependencies, and potential single points of failure.
- Maintainability and fault tolerance: evaluating planned maintenance and failure scenarios against business needs, including Tier III concurrent maintainability and Tier IV fault tolerance principles.
- Operational readiness: commissioning documentation, operating and maintenance procedures, emergency preparedness, and outstanding deficiencies.
Our findings help clients understand facility-wide risks, prioritize corrective actions, and make informed leasing and acceptance decisions.
