The Data Center industry has witnessed exponential growth that resulted in a focus on increased speed-to-market by leveraging standardized designs. As a pioneering technology leader, Hitachi Energy plays a crucial part in bridging the gap between the grid and this critical infrastructure.

Tony Qorri is the visionary Vice president of Construction at Databank, the US Data Center giant. He believes that donning his partner hat produces win-wins when forging strategic alliances. This aligns with the tenet of Hitachi Energy, which values are focused on fostering relationships with partners for long-term value creation.

That’s why when Qorri was looking into power solutions for backing up his mission-critical projects, he was confident in the expertise of Hitachi Energy. Unintuitively understanding the unique needs and aspirations, a standardized transformer design with an extended tap arrangement was envisioned to operate at any DataBank’s location.

Collaboration was crucial to anticipate Databank’s project needs. Design standardization and Hitachi Energy’s global footprint helped to secure the construction schedule, mitigating potential delays due to the post-pandemic world and the high demand for transformers triggered by the energy transition.

The bond built on trust and commitment has made DataBank select Hitachi Energy as its trusted partner. At the core of this synergy is a unique understanding transcending mere transactions, becoming a catalyst for innovation, resilience, and collaboration.

“Standardization was critical to supporting the fast-paced growth of Databank within today’s growing need for scalability; thankfully, due to open and transparent collaboration between our companies, we were able to iterate upon the transformer design, ultimately resulting in a repeatable and, more importantly, scalable solution”
