Accelerating AI-Ready Data Center Infrastructure for a Global Cloud Hyperscaler

Client Background

A global cloud hyperscaler engaged Akraya to support a massive expansion of AI-ready data center infrastructure.


 

Challenges Faced

This section outlines the core difficulties and pain points the client was experiencing. It provides context on the hurdles that needed to be overcome before achieving the successful outcome.

Coordination Complexity Across Disciplines 

Managing 30-40 concurrent data center design projects required seamless alignment between mechanical, electrical, structural, and controls engineering teams.

 

 

Velocity vs. Precision Trade-off   

Accelerated delivery timelines demanded faster design cycles 30, 60, and 90-day IFC (Issued for Construction) sets without compromising accuracy.  

Cross-Regional Execution Fragmentation      

Teams distributed across EST, CST, and PST time zones required continuous coordination.
