EUROPE
Keppel Data Centres , Germany . says Mueller . “ But we are aware that in order to catch up and overtake the ‘ big names ’ of the market , we must bring our organisation up to that level and then we look to do something new , something disruptive like offering fully transparent TCO to that customer group upfront .”
Growing with customers will prove key . As Keppel seeks out to acquire new data centre sites , it will look to establish a varied portfolio of large scale customers that it can host , while also targeting the enterprise market . This is where Keppel will
establish a state of the art service and connectivity portfolio , as Mueller is not the first to admit that a data centre is now much more of a marketplace .
“ Compare a data centre with an airport ,” he says . “ The going in and out of planes is just the basic functionality , but it ’ s all about the people . What do they need when they head to other countries ? They need services and everything to make their journey pleasant and successful . That ’ s what Keppel DC brings to the table with its portfolio spanning Europe and Asia Pacific .”
