DATABANK
The company has also acquired property in Culpeper, Virginia, for another substantial development of 192MW on approximately 100 acres using the Universal Data Hall Design.
“ We’ re rolling the dice a little more,” Tony says.“ In the past, whether it was DataBank or even in my general contracting days, we usually saw very strategic, slow growth. Now the market feels more like‘ go build it all as fast as you can and with the highest quality.”
The importance of standardisation Standardisation underpins DataBank’ s ability to move this quickly.
The company’ s approach revolves around an ability to take components from one campus and deploy them quickly at another, enabling teams to shift infrastructure to new locations in response to market or customer demand.
“ Standardisation is 100 % the key,” says Tony.“ We need to be able to take things from campus A and use them on campus B or C if our team sells more capacity in another market. Having the ability to move infrastructure is critical in our deployment capabilities, particularly when it comes to getting certain capacity ready in tight timelines.
