We are making great progress on our data center here in Eden Prairie. The raised floor is nearly finished, the ceiling is complete, and the generators will be installed before we know it. Earlier this week, a 90-ton crane hoisted three 30-ton cooling units onto the roof. You can see all of this and more in the video below. Enjoy!

This time lapse video shows the progress made on VISI’s new Eden Prairie data center from September 16th to November 6th. In this video you’ll see the ceiling reinforcements, installation of sheetrock, painting of the walls, sealing the floor and preparations for installing the three foot raised floor.

You can follow the progress on Twitter and Facebook.

Tomorrow marks VISI’s 15th anniversary. It is fitting that VISI was founded on Halloween Day — day in and day out, the people of VISI demonstrate a youthful energy and enthusiasm. This liveliness abounds in the office on Halloween with our annual costume contest and chili cook-off. With Halloween comes comradery, and VISI has always been about the people.

The people of VISI are what make VISI special. It always has been this way and always will be. Just like any trick-or-treat bag is full of a wonderful assortment of candy, the people of VISI bring a variety of flavor to the office. It takes all sorts of personalities and skill sets to make a successful company. I am very proud of everyone who works at VISI or has contributed in the last 15 years. They are truly what makes VISI a special and wonderful place to work.

Thank you everyone and have a Happy Halloween!

P.S. To help you get to know our staff, marketing has put together a special 15th anniversary video. Check it out below!
