COLOCATION DATA CENTRES
The digital transformation is rapidly changing requirements for company organisational processes and, as a result, for IT infrastructure. Companies are focused on flexibility, individuality and speed – factors that will increasingly define our private environment as well. For many companies, colocation data centres are an ideal opportunity to integrate their corporate IT hardware into a safe, redundant data centre environment.
Our experts undertake all phases of colocation data centre development – from management consulting, design and General Construction Management to commissioning.
The focus is on ensuring maximum leasable whitespace, a scalable, future-proof design, and sustainable cost-efficient operation.
