Network Controls & Electric relocates data center for Anderson University

(GREENVILLE, SC) September 1, 2009 – Network Controls and Electric – a leading supplier of structured cabling and electrical infrastructure — recently relocated the data center for Anderson University, relocating the university’s data center and rapidly restoring data access.
“The project basically included the entire relocation of the entire IT facility to a new location and with the help of Network Controls and Electric we were able to complete the actual move in three days,” said Peter Harvin, Chief Information Officer for Anderson University.

The project encompassed relocation of the fiber optic backbone, multiple fiber splices and terminations in addition to new cabinets and racks as part of the build-out for a new data center in the University’s library that further expanded the server and network space for the school. The University undertook the renovation in the summer of 2009 to accommodate expansion of the University’s programs.

“Network Controls had excellent planning up front. And when you are taking the entire computer facility down for the university it is extremely important to plan, especially for the unexpected,” Harvin said.

Network Controls, which has been a resource to Anderson University for several years, has also completed data center installations and relocations for hospital systems, manufacturing facilities and other universities. “At Network Controls we are a key resource as institutions enhance their data systems as they expand or move facilities. We manage multiple dimensions of the technical relocation and meet their needs for speedy installations,” said Brad Cunningham, President and CEO of Network Controls and Electric.
