There’s no question that data is an essential service made all the more critical during a global pandemic. During this unprecedented crisis, data centers are connecting people in new ways; delivering real-time, life-saving information across the globe; and powering virtual medical collaboration — from mobile outbreak tracking to the COVID-19 High-Performance Computing Consortium initiative.
Yet, unlike other business segments, like manufacturing, which can be slowed, or research and development, which can be deferred, the expansion of data centers is never static. Ongoing expansion involves in-house teams and technology service partners that manage power conversion and distribution installations, upgrades, and services for data centers across the country.
