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.

Clear Site Design:
Supporting Basic and Heavy Industrial Equipment

One of the standout features of Ostro Steel Structures is their ability to accommodate a wide range of equipment without cluttering your site. Our designs support all sorts of basic infrastructure like ductwork, lights, conduit, fire suppression systems, fans, and pipelines, as well as heavier industrial equipment such as multi-ton, roof-mounted HVAC units and other air handling systems.

The roof and ceiling supports in our metal buildings are engineered to withstand significant loads, ensuring that your facility remains secure and operational. A study by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) indicates that effective support structures can extend the lifespan of HVAC units by up to 20 years. Our robust designs ensure that your data center’s essential systems are well-supported and easily accessible for maintenance.

By keeping the site clear of obstructions, Ostro Steel Structures not only enhance the functionality of your data center but also improve safety. This feature reduces the risk of accidents and facilitates easier navigation through the facility for both personnel and automated systems.

Tailored Main Frames and Hot-Rolled Sidewall Framing

Every data center has unique structural requirements, and Ostro Steel Structures excel in providing customized solutions. Our main frames are tailored to fit your specific cable tray size, weight, and overall layout, ensuring that your cabling infrastructure is well-supported and organized.

In addition to main frames, we offer hot-rolled sidewall framing, which can support oversized ductwork from larger ground-mounted air-handler units. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for data centers requiring substantial cooling systems. By providing structural support for extensive ductwork, we help maintain efficient airflow and cooling throughout the facility.

Properly supported cabling and cooling systems are vital for the optimal performance of data centers. Effective cabling solutions reduce the risk of network disruptions and facilitate easy upgrades. Meanwhile, well-supported cooling systems ensure that your equipment operates within safe temperature ranges, preventing overheating and potential damage.

Secure Door Systems for Critical Areas

Security is a paramount concern for data centers, where sensitive information and critical infrastructure must be protected. Ostro Steel Structures offers highly secure door systems tailored to manage access to critical areas of your facility. These systems are designed to prevent unauthorized entry and ensure that your data remains safe.

Our secure door systems are constructed from durable materials and can be integrated with advanced access control technologies such as biometric scanners, keycards, and remote monitoring systems. According to the Ponemon Institute, 60% of data breaches are caused by insider threats, making robust access control essential for data centers. By implementing secure door systems, you can mitigate these risks and enhance the overall security of your facility.

Ostro’s door systems can be customized to meet specific security protocols and regulatory requirements. Whether you need to secure server rooms, cooling systems, or administrative areas, our tailored solutions provide the protection you need.

Supporting Architectural Facades and Design Aesthetics

While functionality is crucial, the aesthetic appeal of your data center should not be overlooked. Ostro Steel Structures can be easily configured to support a range of architectural facades, allowing you to create a visually appealing facility that aligns with your brand and corporate image.

Our metal buildings can accommodate various facade materials, including traditional masonry, insulated metal paneling, aluminum composite material (ACM) panels, contemporary fiber cement designs and commercial glass and curtain wall systems. Ostro Steel Structures also offers a standing seam roof system to boost durability, longevity and weather protection to the next level.  Rollformed in-house by our craftsmen using our Ostro-3000 panel profile in thicker 24ga steel, this upgraded system comprises a series of high-strength, 3” trapezoidal rib panels that are permanently and mechanically interlocked both with each other and to a system of field-installed roofing clips. This versatility enables you to design a data center that not only meets operational requirements but also adheres to your architectural vision.

Incorporating attractive architectural facades can enhance your organization’s professional image and make a positive impression on clients and stakeholders. Additionally, a well-designed exterior can improve the working environment for employees and contribute to the overall sustainability of the building by incorporating energy-efficient materials.

Maximizing Space with Legion Mezzanine Systems

Space optimization is vital for data centers, where maximizing the available square footage can significantly impact operational efficiency. Ostro Steel Structures offers our innovative Legion Mezzanine System, which doubles your floor space within the same overall building footprint.

By adding a mezzanine level, you can create additional space for equipment, office areas, or storage without the need for a larger building. This approach not only saves on construction costs but also makes better use of your existing property. According to industry data, facilities that implement mezzanine systems can increase their usable space by up to 50%, leading to higher operational capacity.

The Legion Mezzanine System is designed for versatility and can be customized to suit your specific needs. Whether you require additional space for server racks, cooling systems, or administrative functions, our mezzanine solutions provide the flexibility you need to expand your operations without extensive renovations. In addition, purchasing a Legion Mezzanine System from Ostro Steel Structures gives you the peace of mind that you’ve bought a seamless system with single-source accountability—no more worrying about whether your mezzanine will fit correctly or provide adequate support for your valuable equipment and goods.
