Case Study: Large Communications and Media Company achieves rapid expansion of data and Internet capacity without extra floor space with Vertiv SmartMod infrastructure

Large Communications and Media Company - Customer Case Study

Large Communications and Media Company, a Northeast provider serving millions of households and businesses, faced a critical space and capacity constraint: its R&D building had no room for new hardware yet urgently needed expanded Internet and data capacity within a 10–14 week window. To avoid costly renovations and support an eventual relocation, the company engaged Vertiv and explored modular options like the SmartMod infrastructure.

Vertiv deployed a SmartMod infrastructure—a fully integrated, rapidly deployable data-center enclosure combining cooling, UPS, fire suppression and Liebert SiteScan monitoring—delivering the needed capacity without taking up building floor space. Installed 10 days ahead of the deadline, the solution minimized downtime, cut installation and ongoing energy/maintenance costs, avoided lengthy fire‑marshal delays via integrated suppression, enabled remote monitoring and simplified future relocation; Vertiv also provided local service and support throughout the project.
