Digital Infrastructure – We Provide the Foundations of the Internet

The most important challenges faced by today’s data centers, communication networks, and commercial and industrial facilities are addressed by companies like Vertiv. If, for example, data centers were to be shut down, a large part of modern life would come to a halt or be severely disrupted. In the most serious cases, chaos would ensue.

The pandemic has further increased the demand for data as many of us were forced to work from home, use audio-video applications instead of in-person meetings, and consume an ever-increasing amount of streaming. People rarely understand what companies like Vertiv do. Essentially, we provide the foundations of the internet. If data centers were to be shut down, a large part of modern life would come to a halt or be severely disrupted.

In the most serious cases, chaos would ensue: productivity and the stock market would plummet, vital data would be lost, emails would not be sent, and working from home would be hindered. It is also difficult to assess the importance of data centers for our national infrastructure. Despite this, over the past two decades, the data center industry has had a relatively low profile among most investors. Fortunately, this has begun to change, and investment in the data center industry, which meets the seemingly insatiable corporate and consumer demand for cloud data storage and streaming content, has started to increase.

Vertiv is a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and business continuity solutions with a portfolio of power, cooling, and IT infrastructure solutions and services that extend from the cloud to edge (edge) network locations. The company addresses the most important challenges faced by today’s data centers, communication networks, and commercial and industrial facilities.

Power Solutions

Enhance the efficiency of your electrical power system with the latest generation of power solutions. Vertiv’s solutions protect equipment and applications with a range of efficient, reliable UPS systems that can be configured to meet the specific needs of critical applications. Customers can stabilize in a world of instability with features capable of powering thousands of critical applications.

Lower Cooling Costs

Reduce cooling costs with Vertiv’s thermal management solutions that utilize free cooling to achieve the industry’s highest PUE. Omdia ranked Vertiv as the largest global supplier in the data center cooling market, continuing a trend of innovation and change. Critical devices require the best in precision cooling, and Vertiv delivers the most advanced equipment and controls with low operational costs and unparalleled expertise.

Real-Time Monitoring

Optimize data center operations with monitoring solutions that provide visibility and control in real-time. All customers want the best performance, easy setup, and scalability for their IT systems and data centers. Effective system management begins with visibility and control. Our infrastructure monitoring, intelligent controls, and centralized management systems work together to enhance availability, utilization, and efficiency of equipment. Likewise, customers can remotely access IT equipment without an IP connection to securely configure serial ports, set upgrades, troubleshoot, and much more.

Adaptive and Cost-Effective Systems

Acquire flexible and cost-effective products and systems for protection and ensure integrated systems in your data center. In the modern data center landscape, standardization is becoming the norm, but not everywhere and not by chance. The first place you would want to start normalizing your data center is racks and rack zones. Start with flexible, adaptable, and pre-configured server racks and network cabinets that are easy to install as this saves you costs and floor space while increasing the performance, efficiency, and reliability of your critical infrastructure. Vertiv’s solutions for racks, cabinets, and modular data centers provide support and protection for critical infrastructure. As you grow your business, our modular solutions and designs adapt to your needs.

Choosing a Partner

It is important to choose the right data center service provider for your digital infrastructure.

If you have ever experienced the nightmare that comes with unplanned outages in your data center, you know how important it is to properly service and maintain your critical digital infrastructure, including uninterruptible power supply (UPS) units and thermal management units that work together to ensure your business remains continuously online. Given that business outages can cost thousands of dollars every minute, investing in professional data center service providers has become crucial to prevent such disasters. Vertiv’s services can identify energy-saving opportunities in your facility, upgrade equipment with energy-saving technology, and extend the life of existing infrastructure. Vertiv’s service center in Zagreb has experts who provide a wide range of training, programs, and services to support critical infrastructure needs.

Alternative Digital Infrastructure

The advantages of prefabricated modular data centers are becoming apparent. During the pandemic, companies and users demanded much from their digital infrastructure, whether computing power, video calls, home schooling, or watching various television series. According to some experts, companies have accelerated their digital transformation plans by as much as three to four years, and this trend is likely to continue for at least the next five years as more is invested in technology, including cloud computing, 5G mobile networks, artificial intelligence, edge (edge) computing, and IoT.

However, the question arises whether physical infrastructure will be able to cope with the increasing demand for fast and reliable data and computing performance. Data centers have been growing larger over the last decade, their construction can take a long time, and it is difficult to find available land in the right location. An alternative and increasingly popular type of digital infrastructure is the prefabricated modular data center, which is manufactured and tested in a factory and then shipped to the delivery site. Such data centers have many advantages: they can be built much faster than traditional ones (within months, not years), they are flexible (it is easy to add additional racks and power as needed), they help companies reliably optimize their computing needs, and they are more reliable due to factory assembly. Modular and prefabricated data center constructions will help meet the demand for new edge-capacity.

As one of the leading suppliers in the market for prefabricated modular data centers, Vertiv is expanding its capacities for prefabricated modular data centers and developing new technologies. The new manufacturing facility in Croatia was established in response to the growing demand for integrated modular solutions (IMS) and this investment will more than double the production capacity of Vertiv’s prefabricated modular data centers in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).
