Schneider Electric Completes First Data Center For Sagrada Família
The customized, portable and flexible prefabricated data center will provide Sagrada Família with the IT capacity needed to support the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Schneider Electric has announced the completion of Sagrada Família’s first state-of-the-art customized prefabricated data center. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the most visited tourist attraction in Barcelona, Spain, Sagrada Família was in need of a portable solution that would upgrade its small server room to a more robust data center, allowing site operators to better manage the church’s security and effectively control the millions of visitors that come to the site each year during construction.
“Today, there is no longer a one size fits all approach to data center design and build. For Sagrada Família, it was clear that a flexible and portable, yet powerful facility was needed to meet the unique demands of their growing business,” said Kevin Brown, vice president, Global Data Center Strategy and Technology, Schneider Electric. “Schneider Electric is privileged to work with this UNESCO World Heritage Site to deliver a prefabricated data center solution that not only fits within the complex environment around the Sagrada Família, but delivers the security, availability, reliability and agility needed to support this popular attraction during and after construction.”
