Design of a hardened primary data center rated for 250 mph winds, with redundant fiber, biometric access control, and 48-hour backup power.

The challenge they faced

The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma needed a new primary data center in Durant to serve the needs of the nation in Southeastern Oklahoma. The facility's exterior is hardened, making it capable of withstanding 250 mile-per-hour winds. In the event of a power outage, back-up generators allow both IT and emergency operations services to continue uninterrupted for 48 hours.

Design scope

  • CPI Cabinets, Panduit Fiber Distribution & Connectivity
  • Redundant Fiber Links to the Choctaw WAN
  • Paging System
  • Audio/Visual Systems
