The UK government's recent announcement designating data centres as critical national infrastructure highlights the vital role these facilities play in our increasingly digital world.
This move comes as the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) continues to grow exponentially, driving unprecedented demand for high-performance computing and data storage.
Durata, a Teesside-based leader in modular data centre solutions and critical power infrastructure, is perfectly positioned to meet this challenge, delivering cutting-edge infrastructure to support the AI revolution both in the UK and globally.
Meeting the demands of AI
AI workloads require significant computing power and specialised infrastructure.
Durata's modular data centres are specifically designed to meet these demands, offering high-density computing capabilities, advanced cooling systems and robust power infrastructure.
Lewis Cobb, Head of Modular Data Centre Projects, said: “AI is unique. It is unique in purpose, looking forward to a future of vast digital expansion. It is unique in how it is to be deployed, requiring high power capabilities into a small physical footprint, all determined by the groundbreaking GPU technology released in the recent years.
“Durata appreciate these facets, and we work closely with clients on delivering infrastructure that enhances these requirements for operational efficiency and through our modular data centres we can deploy at accelerated rates compared to traditional construction, allowing faster growth in this age of AI.”
Agility and expertise
With AI driving innovation across industries, from healthcare and finance to transportation and manufacturing, the need for agile and scalable data centre solutions has never been greater.
Durata's modular approach offers significant advantages over traditional construction methods, enabling rapid deployment and customisation to meet the evolving needs of AI applications.
Lewis said: “At Durata we have developed a full turnkey modular eco-system, where our in-house teams will guide builds from design to fabrication to M&E engineering.
“A unique offering to clients that allows them to construct and deliver in a unique methodology. In an age where compute technologies are rapidly evolving and advancing, a construction method like modular allows clients to keep pace and get digital services to market quicker.”
Delivering modular excellence globally
Durata's expertise extends far beyond the UK. The company is actively engaged in projects across the globe, bringing its innovative modular solutions to clients in diverse locations with the assurance of British engineering.
“We are taking our Teesside eco-system to the world with our offer," said Lewis. “Whether it is the USA, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, or even as close as the UK, we are offering consistency in the quality of our work on a global platform.
“Our clients benefit from an infrastructural set up which ensures continuity in service, adaptability and scalability, therefore not hindering their own growth.”
A partner in data centre innovation
As the demand for data centres continues to grow, Durata stands ready to provide innovative, reliable and sustainable solutions.
Lewis added: “As a business, we take great pride in helping achieve our clients ambitions. We view ourselves as partners to our clients, partners of the digital age.”
With its expertise in modular construction, commitment to quality, and global reach, Durata is the ideal partner for businesses and organisations seeking to navigate the challenges and opportunities of the AI-driven future.
