Osage Casino

Oklahoma

THE RESULTS:

The Osage Casino chose the Modular Data Center solution due to our ability to manufacture a product that met the IT department requirements, including the project schedule, scalability, load density, flexibility, and the total number of rack spaces. This new data center allowed the new hotel/casino project to begin, while Osage Casino was provided with a portable data center that could be relocated in the future, if necessary.

Modular Data Center

Data Specialties Inc., as a partner with IBM, designed, built and installed an energy-efficient Modular Data Center from start to finish in just over 4 months.

THE CHALLENGE:

Osage Casino required a new data center to support their casino operations and other departments including surveillance, information technology department, and the Osage Nation. The existing data center was located in a facility that was scheduled to be demolished to make room for a new hotel and casino. The data center needed to be relocated quickly so the new project could move forward.

THE SOLUTION:

Osage decided that a Modular Data Center facility would meet their fast-track schedule and was more flexible than building a new facility and would allow them to relocate it in the future.

Osage Casino selected the DSI/IBM proposal due to our ability to manufacture a product that met the IT department’s requirements. Competing products were standardized designs and not capable of being customized to meet Osage Casino’s requirements.

The proposed module was a double-wide unit complete with:

  • N+1 UPS system
  • DX In-row ow cooling units
  • (30) IT equipment racks
  • Cold aisle containment system
  • Standby generator
  • Gas fire suppression system
  • VESDA smoke detection system
  • Facility monitoring system
