i3 Solutions Group, a leading global consulting engineering firm specialising in data centres and mission critical facilities, has announced the company has been appointed Principal Consultant by Kao Data, specialist developers of high-performance data centres for enterprise, cloud, HPC and AI, to lead design engineering work at its 16 MW, carrier-neutral data centre in Slough, West London.
“We’re naturally delighted to have been appointed for this project by Kao Data – a company which, like i3, takes very seriously the need for greater sustainability throughout the data centre life cycle,” said Ed Ansett, Founder and Chairman of i3 Solutions Group. “This can be seen in both the cooling design and the use of HVO to fuel stand-by power generation at the Harlow Campus. We believe that our shared values will make this a successful partnership.”
“As a developer and operator of high-performance data centres for advanced computing, from inception Kao Data has set out to provide customers with hyperscale-inspired digital infrastructure,” added Gérard Thibault, Chief Technical Officer at Kao Data. “Working with i3 Solutions Group is a meeting of like minds; our values – as well as our design and engineering ethos – are all well aligned. We look forward to working together to scale our sustainable infrastructure platform to serve cloud, enterprise and intensive computing requirements.”
