Case Studies
U.S. Case Study – East Coast Cloud Facility
A hyperscale cloud provider in Virginia experienced unexplained server shutdowns. Envirotestingfordatacenters conducted a full power analysis and identified a harmonic distortion from overloaded PDUs. Following remediation and a rebalancing plan, the client eliminated power faults and improved energy efficiency by 17%.
U.S. Case Study – West Coast Colocation Hub
In California, a colocation facility required surge protection compliance testing. We deployed portable meters and ESD analyzers from GAO Tek Inc. to assess grounding integrity. The findings prompted upgrades that prevented repeated switchgear tripping issues during seasonal storms.
Canadian Case Study – Financial Services Data Center
A Toronto-based bank’s primary data center sought compliance with CSA grounding regulations and backup readiness. Our team performed full UPS diagnostics and confirmed compliance, avoiding potential regulatory penalties and securing client trust for long-term monitoring contracts.
