The Challenge

In the age of AI, Compass Datacenters needed a way to design and build campuses faster while also ensuring longevity and resiliency during operation. To do that, they sought a partner who could innovate throughout the entire lifecycle.

The Solution

Compass Datacenters and Schneider Electric worked together to create a customized, integrated supply chain solution for their customers. By implementing EcoStruxure Prefabricated Data Centers, Compass was able to quickly produce a standardized design that was flexible enough to meet the needs of its diverse customer base. Once those data centers were built, Compass and Schneider worked to develop EcoCare membership services. This gave Compass access to AI-powered analytics and expertise to improve longevity and resiliency for customers.

The Results

Thanks to this partnership, Compass Datacenters serves some of the world's largest hyperscalers and cloud providers as quickly as possible. Providing the fastest speed to market of any other solution ensures construction timelines keep up with customer growth. Compass also saw a 40% reduction of intrusive on-site maintenance activities compared to traditional calendar-based maintenance contracts, meaning fewer unnecessary interruptions during operation. As a result, Compass realized a 20% OpEx savings and gained essential insights that allows for the longest useful life out of assets.

Supporting Sustainable Communities

Compass Datacenters is continually looking at how it can eliminate waste throughout the data center lifecycle to achieve its sustainability goals and improve the communities that surround its campuses. Compass has benchmarked about 20% less embodied carbon than the rest of the industry and continues to make lives better by working with vocational schools, bringing veterans into its operations program, and having a predominantly female construction management staff.
