Data center white space
White space optimization: future-proof your data center investment
Unlock the physical potential hidden within your unused data center white space. Optimized facilities are best placed to quickly overcome the related challenges of rapid future expansion.
Virtualization and increasing computational demands translate into greater square footage of IT hardware, which then translates into greater fiber network infrastructure. In practice, that means more servers, more racks, more cables to connect and manage, and more frequent disruption to retrofit legacy infrastructure.
Transform underutilized facility resources into a strategic, performance enhancing asset.
