Their intelligent infrastructure allows densification and vertical growth within the same footprint, enabling customers to scale up without disruption, all while maintaining industry-leading Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE).

No one has a crystal ball when it comes to their usage and growth, and what challenges will cross their desks in the future. Having an adaptive, nimble data center solution that can easily scale as their business grows is Aligned’s unique differentiator, and it allows customers to truly future-proof their environments. They call this capability Expand on Demand.

Customers can scale in place / within the same footprint, up to 50 kW per rack, without reconfiguring infrastructure, using exotic cooling systems, or stranding capacity. Align’s dynamic infrastructure lowers the customer’s total cost of ownership and eases the burden of long-range planning.
