INNOVATES & INSPIRES
Helping you get what you truly want and need
Great technology design is not just about the technology. It’s about delivering information quickly, securely and reliably, helping you teach, learn, heal, sell, communicate with your clients, and keep your staff and the public safe.
That’s especially true for high-performance data centers in the age of AI. These technological marvels must handle massive amounts of data, executing complex algorithms at extremely high speeds. Design challenges include the network infrastructure, the cooling, electrical and security systems, plus the technology needed to support administrators and staff.
Yet it all comes back to your needs: for data storage, centralized applications, access, and security. Our highly skilled, experienced consultants will work closely with you to understand your goals and to help you refine your vision. Only then can we design infrastructure and systems that will make sense for you and your organization.
Moving forward in a changing environment
Our clients often ask, How can you design technology today that will serve us for the next five, 10 or 15 years?
It’s a good question. The fact is that no one can know exactly what the next breakthrough will be, but we can help you understand your options, then build a solid infrastructure ready for a constantly changing world.

What our clients say
When it comes to new construction, it has been great having Tim Johnson and i2 working with us. Tim knows how to express our needs to the architects, engineers, and integrators, and verifies that those needs have made it into plans and bid documents. When a project is completed, he is there to make sure that installers have properly performed. We meet regularly by phone or in person to discuss recent technology changes and recognize new trends that can help in our classroom environments.
College of the Desert has been working with Tim Johnson for almost ten years. Tim and his people are pleasure to work with and have played a key role in the successful implementation of our IT network upgrades and media implementations.

I’ve worked with Tim Johnson on hundreds of projects. He’s very detail orientated and very thorough, having an almost encyclopedic knowledge of his field. Tim is an expert in structured cabling and telecom design, the best data center designer I’ve ever met.
I also appreciate his interdisciplinary approach. I’m sorry to say that at many firms the disciplines are siloed, and consequently they will get will get about 80% of a project right, leaving 20% lost by the wayside or someone else’s problem.
But when I work with i2, I can relax, knowing the consultants will work closely together and strive to be 100% error free. My clients are in good hands.

Tim Johnson is the kind of consultant who adds real value to the design process. He is always on your side, yet detached enough to bring you a perspective you wouldn’t otherwise have.
I’ve known him for more than 20 years, and I’ve seen him work effectively with project owners, architects, engineers, manufacturers, integrators and other consultants.
Tim is as solid a person as you will ever meet. He’s an exceptionally good listener, he has a great deal of expertise, and he genuinely cares about people. When you need him most, he will always be there.
