Struxture is a Canadian digital infrastructure provider , beginning as a newcomer to the market in 2017 and growing to become a leading data centre colocation platform today . With 15 facilities across the country , eStruxture is expanding to support the hyperscale demand driven by the cloud environment and the adoption of new AI technologies by companies of all sizes .
For Todd Coleman , the company ’ s Founder , President and CEO , eStruxture serves as the critical link between the infrastructure that houses the servers and the data itself , enabling connectivity within the data centre and to the outside world .
“ We think of data centres as this boring infrastructure – it ’ s not the most glamorous business sector . But data centres are the primary enabler of the internet economy ,” says Todd . “ If we think about data centres , we think of generators and cooling equipment , which doesn ’ t sound all that exciting , but the ways in which we use them are ever changing .”
Less than a decade ago , ‘ high density ’ in data centres referred to five kilowatts per rack , but today , it means north of 100 kilowatts per rack . Todd anticipates that this definition will continue to evolve
