The TDS team has built and managed over a million square feet of modern, high availability data centers with the following characteristics:

Built to be green. Our data centers are designed to achieve sustainable power usage effectiveness (PUE) in the 1.3 range using green approaches with best economic and environmental payback. Not just best case scenarios.
Scalable efficiency. We design the data center to maintain efficiency from early usage (lightly populated) through full deployment. Typically we see other facilities optimized for a narrow operating range rarely achieved.
Future proof. We provide guidance on site selection and build-out to assure your next data center will have a long lasting and efficient lifespan.
ROI / Payback. We recommend pragmatic improvements which represent low risk and high ROI. And by leveraging utility rebates, we have seen paybacks in a matter of months while maintaining full transparency to IT operations.
