Darland completed the construction of an enterprise-class, Tier IV data center on Alegent Health’s Midlands Hospital campus in Papillion, Nebraska. The Midlands Data Center was a joint venture between Alegent Health and CoSentry.

The Midlands Data Center is a ‘hardened’ data center built to withstand 250 mph winds and features N+1 redundancy in all major infrastructure components, a clean-agent fire suppression system and multi-layered biometric security. The secure facility provides reliable access to records in the event of a power outage or natural disaster, utilizing advanced concept designs for power, cooling, and network and security infrastructures.

The facility is comprised of two 25,000-square-foot levels, with each level accommodating two 5,000-square-foot raised floor data suites. In addition, the project houses 13,000 square feet of support staff offices as well as a secured equipment yard that includes a 6.5-megawatt diesel engine backup generation system.

The Midlands Data Center stores electronic medical records and digital imagery for Alegent Health, along with data and equipment for other CoSentry clients. Alegent Health is the largest not-for-profi t, faith-based healthcare system in Nebraska and southwestern Iowa with nine acute care hospitals and more than 100 sites of service. CoSentry is a regional data center operator, providing business resiliency solutions at locations in Omaha, Kansas City, and Sioux City.
