CLICK TO WATCH : ‘ ALIGNED – BUILD-TO-SCALE ’ 15 Aligned ’ s approach is to design a physical , electrical , and mechanical infrastructure that is very quickly deployable , but also deployable in the right-sized increments to meet customers ’ unique capacity needs and requirements – now and in the future . “ Instead of building a 50MW data centre and having it sit there waiting for it to be fully utilised , we ’ re able to build the physical structure , whether it ’ s a cold or a warm shell , and then incrementally deploy infrastructure at pace ,” assures Coleman . “ For example , we can get the mechanical backplane
down to as little as 750KW of cooling capacity in an individual increment . Allied to this , our electrical topology is extremely flexible , allowing us to make adjustments towards a specific customer .”
Coleman highlights that this flexibility allows Aligned to deploy incrementally across a building in two ways . “ We can add to the planned capacity for the building , but also if the customer decides that they ’ re going to grow in place ,” he explains . “ From a density perspective , we can add that capacity in their current physical footprint and
