Hyperscale data center operators have moved on from raised- oor facilities to a more e cient modular approach— yet smaller colocation facilities are still lagging behind. GIGA Data Centers aims to transform the colocation market with a state-of-the-art data center infrastructure built to support Lenovo ThinkAgile platforms.

s founded in 2017 by a team of data center professionals, designers and engineers who recognized a mismatch between the modern approach of hyperscale cloud hosting companies such as Amazon, Microsoft and Google, and the current best practices among colocation facilities and managed service providers (MSPs). Jake Ring, GIGA’s President & CEO, explains: “Traditionally, companies sized their data centers based on long-term foreca

sts of how much space, capacity and power they would need. They would build large, raised- oor facilities with integrated power and cooling systems, and gradually ll them up with racks of servers. “In today’s world, that approach is doomed to fail. We now have high-performance computing and arti cial intelligence workloads and hyperconverged infrastructures that demand much greater power density from each rack. Ret

ro tting a raised- oor facility with the extra power and cooling required is extremely expensive. And scaling is also a big problem: you have to build for your maximum capacity, so it’s very di cult to start small or to ex your infrastructure to align with uctuating demand.” GIGA takes a very di erent approach, building its data centers around small, modular enclosures that can be installed in any loc

With modern and e cient power and cooling technologies built in, these enclosures o er a guaranteed Power Usage E ectiveness (PUE) ratio of 1.15—a conservative 35% reduction in electricity usage, much better than leading competitors in the colocation market where the average is 1.70. Moreover, when more power or greater capacity is needed, GIGA can simply add another enclosure and get it online within just two we
