Customer Centricity Mann ’ s team have experience on both sides of the fence and appreciate the complexities of marrying physical infrastructure with IT . “ The first thing we do with each new customer is to determine how modular they are . Is this their first deployment ? Do they understand the dynamics ? Can we scope it right ? How can we be cost efficient to make sure that it meets their requirements ? Site preparation is key . In my career I ’ ve seen deployments of IT modules arrive where the site costs spiraled because of a lack of communication or coordination .
“ You have to understand the two elements : What ' s the site going to look like and what are you trying to do ? Are you going to put that module on pilons or a pad ? How is it going to be deployed ? Is it permanent or is it temporary ? You don ' t want to try to save money on the module side and then spend it all on the site because you didn ' t plan it the
“ IT ’ S NOT A MATTER OF IF THE DATA CENTER INDUSTRY IS GOING TO CHANGE , BUT A MATTER OF WHEN AND WHO ' S GOING TO LEAD IT . TAS IS IN A GREAT POSITION TO HELP INSPIRE EFFORTS AT INNOVATION ”
RON MANN VICE PRESIDENT ENGINEERING , TAS ENERGY same way . Understanding all of these dynamics is vital to create balance and promote efficiency .”
Efficiency & Sustainability TAS Energy ’ s full stack offering helps customers develop a greener approach to power by avoiding over-provisioning . “ We make sure we ’ re supporting the customer with exactly what they need for their IT load . For example , if you ’ re running an average of 10kw / rack across five racks , but the application - maybe it ' s some type of algorithm for analysis or you ’ re running a business application – jumps up your compute load to 20kw / rack . How do you make sure your system is accounting for that ? We can deploy a system capable of ramping up and back down again so that it matches the load and you ' re not wasting power , so for example , you ' re not always static at maximum of say 20kw / rack cooling when you only need 10kw .”
