• Speed of Deployment – Prefabricated modules are delivered on-site preconfigured and pretested for an easy installation within 12-16 weeks, depending on the level of project complexity.

As a standardized solution, modules can be ordered, manufactured, customized and delivered to the data centre site in a matter of months. The modular approach also means that the site construction can progress in parallel, instead of a linear task dependant, track toward completion.
