Data Centres

Short time-to-market

With the demand for and reliance on data rapidly increasing around the world, any new build, renovated or extended data centre needs to be up and running as soon as possible. Standardisation of data centre design is key to realising a short time-to-market, but that design will always need to be tailored to the local conditions, rules and regulations of its planned location. The two-fold benefit is enabling design and operational optimisations to be found, as well as reducing risks for the critical path and future operations by taking local factors into account, such as power availability, climate conditions and risk profiles.
