Case Study: a leading AI company validates data center readiness with Align

a leading AI company validates 10MW+ data center readiness with Align

A leading AI company engaged Align to conduct an independent, engineering-driven evaluation of its leased data center facility in Minnesota. The retrofitted, multi-story facility's age and ongoing modernization introduced significant risk, including single points of failure, aging infrastructure, operational gaps, and environmental and mechanical risks that threatened its critical AI-intensive workloads.

Align performed a comprehensive assessment of the facility's electrical, mechanical, and operational systems. The findings were translated into a phased remediation roadmap. This process by Align validated the facility's viability, quantified risks, and saved the client millions in potential downtime, capital misallocation, and avoided migration costs while strengthening their leverage with the landlord.
