Sentrum has an innovative approach to data centre provision and works in partnership with its clients to deliver truly bespoke data centre solutions that meet their business needs.

Differentiators

Sentrum has worked consistently to develop a unique business methodology which sets it apart from other data centre providers. These differentiators include:

Up-Front Speculative Investment

The most significant elements in bringing a data centre ‘online’ are locating the site, obtaining local authority planning consents and securing power from the local energy supplier(s). Sentrum’s industry experience, combined with its extensive market knowledge, helps to ensure that any perceived risks associated with up-front investments are reduced as the site location choice is always based on an understanding of where the industry is heading, whilst calculations on where future demand will be are taken in to account. Consequently, Sentrum has consistently been able to anticipate new requirements and up-front investments have enabled it to deliver rapid solutions in response to market growth.

Business Focus

Sentrum’s business is the design, build and management of data centres. Sentrum focuses on the technical real estate and the core infrastructure that provides critical services such as power and cooling. This ensures that Sentrum does not in any way compete with its clients’ businesses and enables the company to deliver successfully on its core competencies time after time.

Bespoke Solutions

Having a site in which the up-front work has been completed, but which still allows for the client to precisely scope and define its data centre project, is an extremely attractive proposition. The Sentrum offering has been created to take into account design preferences and specifications that could not otherwise be accommodated within a traditional colocation environment.

Expertise

The Sentrum team is comprised entirely of data centre and property development professionals so clients have access to the highest levels of expertise. The two principals alone have built out several million sq ft of data centre space to date.

People, not process

Sentrum takes a corporate approach to business, but has chosen not behave like one. The company’s core philosophy is that it’s the people in the process that make the difference, not the process itself, and it’s also this focus that has enabled Sentrum to make its unique mark in a crowded space, in an enviable way. Sentrum has worked diligently to perfect the balance of open communication with authoritative consultancy, whilst the team’s personable approach to getting business done has meant that many valuable, long-term client relationships have been created.

Approach

Sentrum firmly believes that collaboration is the best tool to use when it comes to the design, build and ongoing operation of a client’s data centre/suite. Sentrum will work closely with a client’s own professional team from the outset, adopting a team approach in which equal partners combine best skill-sets in order to produce a unique data centre solution.

Financial Stability

As a privately owned Group, with significant investment behind it, Sentrum is well placed to offer the comfort and credibility of financial robustness and longevity.
