We enable data centers to maintain uptime when they upgrade, achieving greater reliability, efficiency, and lifespan
When data centers need to upgrade or refurbish, downtime isn’t an option. Replacing electrical and mechanical systems in a live environment, without affecting availability, requires careful planning. Our exceptional project management and modular data center equipment allow data center operators to add capacity, not complication.
We provide tailored solutions to help you:
- Quickly increase capacity to meet demand with no upfront investment
- Conduct upgrades and load testing to safeguard resilience and performance
- Refurbish your data center to capitalize on innovations like stored energy and battery technology

Frequently Asked Questions
Effective planning and project management are key to the success of your data center upgrade. You’ll need to consider the purpose of your upgrade, from improved data center security to efficiency, sustainability, and meeting customer demand. You’ll also need to consider and plan for any potential risks – these could include power outages and inefficient cooling/HVAC.
Technology moves fast and the way individuals and enterprises use data centers has evolved in the past few years. There has been a dramatic shift from sprawling centralized data centers to edge locations, especially as the places where people work have changed post-pandemic. That’s why modernizing and improving your data center has become a matter of survival.
One of the biggest challenges for data centers hoping to expand is the reality of grid capacity. Even if you have ample physical space and unlimited resources, the main energy grid often simply can’t keep up with power-hungry data centers. Our flexible equipment means you can take control of your own energy, going off-grid with generators and battery solutions to expand with confidence.
