DATA CENTRES

“ We have a large volume of tickets daily and , as we almost have zero latency to our servers and systems , we can deal with such a high quantity without negatively impacting the quality of service ”

Another challenge to the build was the fact that the data centre would need to be able to accommodate the church ’ s ongoing construction . So the unit was designed to be self-contained , portable and flexible , allowing it to be easily relocated when the site expansion required it to be moved .
Sagrada Familia decided to add a data centre to its site in order to bring more value to the commercial side of the attraction , while also enabling the IT team to design new solutions and services .
“ We have the inherent advantages of owning a data centre but , for our one , we didn ’ t need to prepare a physical space for it . And we gained the capability to be able to move it according to construction needs ,” Villa explained .
