Key Types of Data Centers
To best support the needs of each business, brands may consider different types of data centers to meet their long-term goals.

Enterprise Data Centers
Facility that houses server, network, storage, and support infrastructure including racks, routers, switches, power supplies, and ventilation systems for continuous operations.
Colocation Data Centers
Opposed to traditional data centers, colocation data centers operate as a flexible and cost-effective service, where businesses can rent space and store infrastructure safely and securely.


Hyperscale Data Centers
Built for larger applications, these gigantic facilities support high volumes of data and storage for bigger companies.
Edge Data Centers
Smaller in size, edge data centers are built in close proximity to businesses enabling quicker connectivity and improved networking performance.


Data Center Design Considerations
We strategically approach each space by incorporating the latest trends, technologies, and facility resources needed to support critical networks and businesses.
Flexible Infrastructure
Server rooms must include critical infrastructure such as raised floor systems with a hot/aisle configuration to optimize cooling, segregated server spaces, mechanical/CRAC corridors, and advanced building access to ensure continuous operations.
On-Site Water Reuse Facilities
For cooling purposes, developers turn to constructing on-site water use facilities to help decrease the temperature of infrastructure to avoid damage and performance issues.
