Instor’s free data center project estimator eases facility whitespace planning
Instor says the Data Center Fit Up Estimator integrates information from multiple elements within a typical data center whitespace project. As project costs vary from region to region, the estimator takes into consideration the geographic location of the data center, in addition to the configuration, based on real-life component costs from projects completed in those areas. The tool maintains a running total to help facility owners and operators benchmark the financial perimeters of a project. After receiving an estimate, users have the option to validate their project’s total cost and scope.Related: Instor Solutions launches data center earthquake protection service
“The release of the Data Center Fit Up Estimator will provide an innovative tool for understanding the potential buildout costs for data center fit ups,” said Jack Vonich, vice president of sales and marketing at Instor. “Whether used to validate numbers, estimate projections, or gain budget approvals for projects, the estimator was designed to benchmark new builds within realistic financial perimeters. Its flexibility allows users to scale potential projects and make informed decisions about space and power financial requirements to ensure clarity and success for the project from its earliest stages.”
