The data centre no longer has a single blueprint as disparate customers address their business needs with a wide variance of design solutions. The emergence of hyperscalers with their fast-paced construction programs have accelerated the evolution of data centres to hyper speed. Where previously the largest collocation providers could deliver 5 to 10 data halls in a year, hyperscaler’s are now delivering this in a month.
Plus, each data hall design improves on its predecessor. The question is; how can this drive for continuous improvement in performance be sustained, using a traditional design approach. Evolving customers require transformational thinking.
