90 million euro orders for technology in European data centres
Gouda, The Netherlands - Imtech N.V. (technical services provider in Europe) announces that it has received orders worth more than 90 million euro for total technological solutions for the overhaul, upgrading or expansion of data centres in Europe.
By combining innovative and multidisciplinary technology Imtech offers advanced solutions for technological infrastructure and upgrading of data centres. Due to the increased quantity of European data flow and the highly increased band width of data flow energy providers, banks, insurance companies, telecom providers, industrial and many other companies choose to invest in overhaul, expansion and upgrading of existing ICT infrastructure and capacity in large data centres.
Imtech provides high tech ICT infrastructure, reliable power supply, innovative cabling, preventative fire safety, no-break facilities and professional disaster plans. Because of the increased capacity of these centres, heat production is approaching critical limits of as much as 60,000 W/m². In order to process this enormous amount of heat, Imtech is able to find high tech solutions for extra cooling and warmth removal, for example by making use of innovative cooling technology and water circulation. All Imtech solutions are characterised by optimum attention to energy conservation and fit in seamlessly with the primary and secondary processes at these enormous data centres.
Recently Imtech received orders for the overhaul, upgrading or expansion of data centres of energy company EnBW (Energie Baden-Württemberg) in Krötzingen and Daxlanden in Germany, insurance company Allianz in München in Germany, data company e-shelter in Frankfurt in Germany, producer of optical instruments NDC in Eschborn and Oberursel in Germany, ING Bank in The Netherlands, telecom provider Belgacom in Belgium and the Drosbach financial data centre in Luxemburg.
