IRON MOUNTAIN DATA CENTRES ’ PARTNERSHIP WITH DATALEC
Datalec is a design , build and installation company that our customers were continually asking us to use for fit outs . I think typically when you ’ re asked to use a particular company for any reason , and it ’ s not someone that you ’ ve selected , you fear the worst . But that certainly wasn ’ t the case with Datalec . A lot of our hyperscale customers were asking us if we would use Datalec , which is a very niche business providing worldclass customer fit out and team user solutions .
They show an exception level of attention to detail , where they really do work to understand the brief . Consequently they have come to partner with us as the data center owner and operator and the relationship has grown from there . Now we use them in their own right as an installation company and we ’ re getting a fantastic service from them .
