The electronic age has left us more connected than ever and that connectedness has created an increasing demand for highly secure, large scale data centers to house millions of dollars worth of telecom equipment that holds vast amounts of sensitive information. In the United States, there are over 8 million data centers and the number keeps growing. With large companies like Google, Microsoft and Facebook building more of their own data centers annually, it’s increasingly important the type of structures they choose can handle the security sensitive information of their users over the long haul.
Fun Fact: Data centers use over 2% of all the energy in the US and more sustainable solutions, such as precast, help them reduce their overall environmental impact.
The precast industry continues to be at the forefront of this crucial industry by providing carefully designed structures that perform, protect and serve the needs of this demanding and ever-changing environment. What makes precast concrete the “go to” material for housing the world’s most sensitive data?
