Design Flexibility:
Spanning Long Distances Without Obstructions
When designing a data center, the layout of your equipment and networking infrastructure is crucial. Metal buildings manufactured by Ostro Steel Structures offer unparalleled flexibility, allowing you to maximize your space without the limitations typically imposed by traditional construction methods.
Metal buildings can span long distances without interior columns or trusses, ensuring an open floor plan. This design feature allows for better process flow and an efficient layout, as there are no internal obstructions to navigate around. According to industry reports, data centers utilizing open floor plans have seen a 15% increase in operational efficiency. With metal buildings, you can focus on creating the ideal arrangement of your servers, storage devices, cabling and networking gear.
Ostro Steel Structures specializes in creating bespoke metal buildings that cater to the unique demands of data centers. Our designs factor in the requirements for extensive cabling systems, air handling and cooling infrastructure, and other critical components essential for the smooth operation of your facility. By eliminating interior obstacles, we help you to streamline maintenance and upgrades, reducing downtime and boosting overall performance.
Customizable Insulation Systems for Enhanced Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency is a significant concern for data centers, where cooling expenditures can constitute a large portion of operational costs. Ostro Steel Structures provide advanced insulation systems tailored to your exact R-value and budget requirements. This flexibility ensures that your data center remains energy-efficient, regardless of your specific needs.
Traditional insulation methods can often be restrictive and expensive. Our metal buildings utilize state-of-the-art insulation materials and techniques to offer a cost-effective solution without compromising on performance. In fact, data centers using advanced insulation systems have reported reductions in energy costs by up to 30%, according to the Uptime Institute. Our upgraded fiberglass systems, commonly called “liner systems,” provide high R-value, high visual appeal, and high reflectivity for your interior lighting systems. Many of our customers use this system as a one-stop solution and forego drop ceilings, drywall and other interior finishes.
The insulation systems in Ostro’s metal buildings are designed to adapt to various climates and operational demands. Whether you need high R-value solutions for extreme climates or more moderate insulation for temperate zones, our customizable options ensure that your data center maintains optimal temperature levels, preserving the integrity and performance of your equipment.
