DESIGN & BUILD WATCH NOW
Data centre colocation: How enterprises build secure, scalable infrastructure
new demands. Successful infrastructure design incorporates flexibility for technologies not yet commercialised. This requires overbuilding certain systems while maintaining modularity in others. Generous cable trays, oversized conduits and flexible floor space enable future upgrades without wholesale reconstruction. Simultaneously, modular power and cooling systems prevent overinvestment in capacity that may become obsolete.
The operators succeeding in this environment share common characteristics: they prioritise flexibility over rigid efficiency, embrace multiple cooling technologies simultaneously and design infrastructure that can accommodate order-of-magnitude increases in density without fundamental redesign. Scalable infrastructure has become less about predicting the future and more about building systems resilient enough to adapt to whichever future materialises.
