of the business risk of being stuck with outdated data centres . Vertiv is helping with this by providing systems and engineering support .”
Quantum data centres are also sustainable , creating 90 times less carbon than a traditional steel module of the same size and neither do they deploy concrete .
“ We don ’ t disturb the environment ,” says Tony . “ When we deploy or when we move , it ’ s like we were never there . We minimise environmental impact and minimise how we affect the land around us . This enables us to deploy anywhere – on sand , in parking lots , you name it .”
Adding IT capacity via Quantum also solves a number of customer needs , whether it is at the edge or the rapid deployment of additional capacity for existing data centres .
“ We ’ re taking a mass customisation approach that ’ s no different from the auto industry ,” Tony says . “ Our manufacturing approach allows customers to personalise products , while the business retains some of the speed and low costs of mass production .”
He adds : “ We use what Vertiv is using in its own modules , with our own composite shell to help us use their scale to deploy them , quickly and with a low total cost of ownership .”
Tony explains it is not only the enterprise sector that Vertiv is helping with , but also military , federal and state customers , who “ want something that ’ s strong and sustainable , at a low cost and of high quality .”
He adds : “ We are set up to deploy inference AI anywhere it is needed . This could be in a rural area , but it could also be downtown .
“ This is where AI is headed , and we want to be the sustainable and rugged platform companies , militaries and governments turn to for supporting it .”
Over the next 12 months , Nancy , Adil , Tony and their 185 colleagues will continue to work alongside local communities and will focus on moving the company forward . technologymagazine . com 297
