T5 Data Centers
Powering Digital Age with Reliable Data Centers

Data centers are the cornerstones of nearly every industry. While building a data center might seem simple, it is anything but. From design and construction to ongoing maintenance and security, they require a team of experts working in tandem to ensure everything runs smoothly. That is where T5 Data Centers cements its cornerstone.

Amassing 15 years of unparalleled expertise, T5 specializes in building and managing high-quality, customizable data centers that meet specific customer needs. It offers a comprehensive and seamless experience encompassing the full spectrum of data center services, from leasing and development to construction and facilities management. This turnkey approach is how T5 has established itself as a leading luminary in the data center industry, setting the bar high across the U.S.

“We understand that building and managing a data center is more than just a project; it is a critical component of a customer’s business. Our turnkey approach, specialized expertise, and commitment to customer success enable us to deliver tailored solutions,” says Tom Mertz, COO of T5 Data Centers.

T5 takes a customer-centric ethos to businesses, working closely with them to understand their needs and conceptualizing data centers perfectly matching their expectations. This ensures they get data centers that are second to none without compromising on any aspect of their data center.

For instance, the ever-evolving demands of hyper-scale cloud providers require expansive power and space to foster growth. T5 accommodates this need. Instead of building a single 100-megawatt building, it builds multiple facilities on their campus to meet the needs of their customers, whether 20-megawatt or 40-megawatt buildings. This pragmatic strategy enables it to manage costs efficiently and provide customers with the ability to rapidly expand.

This remarkable style of collaboration T5 implements means it handles every aspect of the data center process, from conception to operation. The holistic approach translates to customers enjoying a seamless and cost-effective process, alleviating any burden on their time and resources. Its data center development, construction, and operations expertise ensures customers get the best results with minimal hassle.

T5 is exclusively focused on the data center market, staying on the cutting edge of the latest industry developments and offering innovative solutions.

This commitment to excellence is reflected in every aspect of its business, even in ongoing operations and maintenance.

An instance that exemplified T5’s expertise and commitment to its customers is a remarkable episode where it rescued a customer’s data center in the southwestern part of the U.S. The data center’s operator had gone bankrupt, leaving T5 with the arduous task of quickly mobilizing a team to address the facility’s inherent challenges and seamlessly operate it. Despite these obstacles, it showcased its unparalleled proficiency in the data center arena by quickly resolving issues and keeping the facility operational.

Driven by a sense of responsibility stemming from the stark ecological impact of modern lifestyles and consumerism, T5 has implemented sustainable practices to reduce its carbon footprint. This includes using energy-efficient lighting and cooling systems, among other initiatives. As a testament to its unwavering dedication to sustainability, it has partnered with Infrastructure Masons (iMasons) to further its goals, constantly evaluating and implementing innovative and eco-friendly approaches to constructing data centers.

“We’re constantly looking for ways to improve our sustainability. Whether through renewable energy sources or more efficient cooling systems, we are committed to minimizing our environmental impact,” adds Craig McKesson, EVP of T5 Data Centers.

T5’s never-ending appetite for better capabilities and newer technologies equips it with a roadmap focused on enhancing its business. It understands the industry is constantly evolving and is determined to stay ahead of the curve. This is reflected in its investment in cutting-edge technology and willingness to experiment with new approaches. It is not afraid to take risks, which is a crucial factor behind its success.

“We believe that safety and operability go hand-in-hand and are committed to ensuring our facilities remain ‘forever safe’ for our customers. We constantly evaluate and update our safety practices, personnel, and training to maintain our impressive record of 2.7 million hours of operating without a downtime injury,” elaborates Mertz.
The success of T5 can be attributed to the symbiosis of a dynamic workforce and collaborative partnerships. It understands that in a world where downtime can be catastrophic, there is no room for error. To provide the best possible service, it works with the best-fit partners and develops relationships with some of the most respected names in the industry. This allows T5 to leverage its extensive expertise and deliver top-tier service to the customers.

Going above and beyond, T5 has developed a rigorous training program for its employees to ensure every team member has the knowledge and skills necessary to operate the data centers with utmost precision.

T5 Data Centers is a testament to the data center industry. It will continue to be a major player in this vital industry as the relevance of data centers continues to grow.
