DATABANK of capacity – a scale and scope that seemed inconceivable during Tony’ s early days at the business, where it was focused on 20 to 40 megawatt developments.
At the heart of this growth is DataBank’ s unique approach to data centre construction, centred around standardised and campus-based environments capable of meeting rapidly changing market conditions and the intensifying demand on key infrastructure.
Leading data centre transformation Just as DataBank has evolved, so, too, has the industry, spurred by huge demand for AI, the ongoing adoption of cloud computing and shifting expectations around performance, energy use and sustainability. Even without AI demand, the growing volume of human interactions with technology account for most of the demand.
Early in Tony’ s career, facilities operated with raised floors, equipment spread across the space, and workloads measured in a couple of kilowatts per cabinet. Today, DataBank’ s infrastructure is designed for workloads exceeding 130kW and more, rethinks the traditional approach to density, cooling and energy strategy and provides rapid adaptability for customers.
