ADTRAN solutions enable voice, data, video and Internet communications across copper, fiber and wireless network infrastructures.

JohnTech recently installed a 150kVA UPS and a 100kVA UPS at ADTRAN, working within a 4-hour window to remove the existing 100kVA UPS and replace it with the new one. As part of the re-designed distribution from the UPS to the data center, we installed  a 3-Circuit Breaker Maintenance Bypass for ease of service on the 100k, along with a Main Distribution Panel that feeds two secondary Distribution Panels. The 150k was designed with a 3-Circuit Breaker Maintenance Bypass feeding a single Distribution Panel.

Through the use of Emdeon’s comprehensive suite of products and services, its customers are able to improve efficiency, reduce costs, increase cash flow and more efficiently manage the complex revenue and payment cycle process.

Allen Johnston worked closely with Emdeon’s Power Management department on the design of this data center. The power system consists of a redundant A-B, with 675kVA N+1 redundancy on each bus feeding A/B Panelboards on (8) Engineered Power Distribution modules. The redundancy is complemented by a daily Battery Monitoring System and a Building Monitoring System.

Vanderbilt’s mission is to advance health and wellness through preeminent programs in patient care, education, and research.

JohnTech recently installed a 500kVA N+1 redundancy power system to VUMC’s existing data center, designed by SSR Engineering. The project posed an extreme challenge with the total weight and room limitations. We also installed a System Bypass Cabinet, an Automatic Transfer Switch, Switchgear, (2) Power Management Modules, and (5) Engineered Power Distribution modules.

Known as Night Stalkers, these Soldiers are recognized for their proficiency in nighttime operations. They are highly trained and ready to accomplish the very toughest missions in all environments, anywhere in the world, day or night, with unparalleled precision. They employ highly modified Chinook, Black Hawk and assault and attack configurations of Little Bird helicopters.

JohnTech worked with the SOAR-IT Team on a renovation of the data center that supports the unit’s flight simulators. We removed the old distribution system and deployed a new A-B Designed Distribution system. During the process, we also installed a generator to support the load during extended outages.
