Master electrician and distinguished comedian George Redding recently retired from Dynalectric after a remarkable career. Over approximately a decade, I had the privilege of collaborating with George on numerous projects, including ACC4, ACC5, ACC6, ACC7, MCC1, and LC1A. Together with Faran Kaplan (and later Matt Hartle), we formed a dynamic team responsible for coordinating facility telecommunications.
One of our most significant accomplishments during this time was the development of the Consolidation Point (CP) concept, which is now a standard feature in all of our data centers since ACC7. The innovative CP approach streamlines the integration process for a multitude of vendors across electrical, mechanical, security, and IT sectors. By implementing this concept, we have been able to achieve greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness throughout the construction and operation of these expansive data center facilities.
George’s unique blend of professional expertise and humor will be greatly missed, but his legacy lives on through the lasting impact of the CP concept and the numerous projects we completed together. Thank you George!
