Generally correct but a very high level. We have just completed 3 data centres in Europe on time and on budget probably less costly than you would imagine. Out sourcing to a minimum, High level engineering and tender development in house.

Hello Everyone! This is a fantastic video that highlights some of the potential risks that may compromise your data center or cost you countless budget increases. Working in the cable & connectivity industry, I work with IT managers, Data Center engineers, and countless techs & sys admins that run into these issues every day. I’ve heard many people mention DRT as a great place to go– think about it, your company does what your company does (and it’s probably not run your data center), so a company that only does that one thing would be a great resource & benefit. And no, I’m not related nor do I have any affiliation with DRT, I just liked the video!
