server room construction companies in the valley?

[mike enriquez]

Hi everyone,
When it comes to design you need to agree on a company theme. Use 
Grapics, colors and materials to communicate that theme. Look at your 
company strategy and you will find the answer. Any good design educated 
architect should be able to help you. But make sure they understand the 
strategy.  Write up the technical requirements and give it to your 
designer and assign company staff to monitor and install the technical 
stuff.
The designer you use does not need to understand the cisco or Linux 
stuff. But the designer needs to understand what you are trying to 
achieve. Hire someone who is willing to take the time to understand the 
marketing position for your company.
Knowing the marketing position and the strategy will cause a design 
theme to grow from there.
Good luck to you.
Mike Enriquez , (first architect to have a fully computerize office in 
arizona)
