Configurable Data Center Design

At Stream, we’ve standardized our data center deployments across our portfolio with a design that meets the performance specifications of the world’s largest data center users, enabling us to keep costs down and boost speed to market. By focusing on standardized MEP infrastructure, we can aggregate our equipment supply and deploy it where and when it’s needed to meet demand. This minimizes the risk that would otherwise come from procuring equipment ahead of demand. For example, by procuring generators a year earlier than we would have pre-COVID, we can maintain deployment timetables while being confident the equipment can be used anywhere.

Our standardized data center design is configurable, so we can continue to adapt to meet our customers’ performance specifications.

Our configurable data center design and innovative proprietary data center cooling design gives us the flexibility to support our customers’ performance specs as they evolve. For many data center providers, raising density from 10-12 kW per rack to 400+ kW per rack would be untenable because it would require completely different technology—significantly increasing cost and complexity. At Stream, we’re able to support that kind of evolution with less disruption and cost because our standardized design is configurable for what’s next. (We’d love to share the details about our propriety design; contact us). There would be some downtime associated with reconfiguring a data hall for liquid cooling to the rack, of course, but not more than the customer would take to refresh their technology infrastructure.

Stream’s modus operandi enables real flexibility and adaptability with customers. Our role is to deliver what our customers need. We conform to them, but we’re participative—we also bring to the table our deep expertise in serving the complex needs of other sophisticated customers. As a result, our customers are getting the capacity that meets their requirements, and they’re getting it at the speed they need it.
