There are many challenges to overcome while building and operating data centers. From hundreds of client engagements, we have learned that those challenges fall into three main categories. How to keep up with constant advancements in technology. How to reliably source products, parts and services around the world. And how to implement design requirements when local regulations, resources and environmental constraints cause complications.

We solve these challenges firstly with our commitment to innovation, in thermal management, controls, facility security, fire protection and services. Then the scalability of our global footprint of manufacturing and services provides the required global and local coverage. And with our ability to satisfy requirements consistently despite local challenges, we help clients get their data centers into service and running effectively anywhere in the world.

Come visit us at Pod P24 and discuss how our customer driven innovation, global scalability and engineered consistency can help you.
