T5 DATA CENTERS

T5

Atlanta Hyperscale Data Center
A Data Center Lifecycle Partner Marin highlights that T5 is the only company across the sector offering a full lifecycle combination of assets and services in strategic markets . From delivering a fully functioning data center building at a competitive cost to producing the lowest possible cost of occupancy and then going on to operate it for the customer , T5 can utilize a build to suit approach delivering tailor made specs - for everything from power to cooling - inside the data hall .
Evolving assets through the data center lifecycle is a big part of the philosophy that drives T5 explains Marin : “ We advise our customers on lowering the cost of their operations going forward by evaluating power and cooling systems and helping them design and procure the best system that ’ s going to use the least amount of energy throughout a data hall ’ s lifecycle . With that comes a big focus on the reduction of carbon footprint . We ’ re very supportive of that and have developed the capabilities to construct solar installations and we ’ ll continue to expand that expertise as the technology evolves for the hyperscalers .”
Marin notes that , as electrical densities across data centers increase , these developments are all intertwined . “ We ’ re making sure we have the right cooling methodologies to meet future needs . Simple things like having water at the rack for our cooling systems which allows a deeper life cycle for that asset . And of course , we ’ re agnostic to networks , but we ’ re very supportive of having a robust network in all of our buildings .”
A Sustainable Future T5 ’ s commitment to greener ways to power data centers has seen it extend its construction services to include solar and renewable energy . “ We got into the delivery of solar projects a few years ago , and we ’ ve had a lot of repeat business ,” reveals Marin .
