Metronode Data Centres are designed and constructed with a long-term view so that the Total Cost of Ownership is considered and optimised. As part of this, the BladeRoom™ building structure has a 60-year design life, reflecting the robustness and durability of a traditional data centre. Constructed from specially designed and manufactured steel frames, these rooms allow generous space for wide hot and cold zones, high ceilings and unparalleled service and maintenance access. In addition to the ‘traditional construction’ attributes of robustness, space and multi-storey capability, a BladeRoom data centre can be relocatable when necessary, providing more options for the life of the investment.
