Case Study: T-Systems achieves 9-month Tier III modular data center deployment, 30% energy reduction and 99.98% availability with Vertiv

T-Systems - Customer Case Study

T-Systems, a global IT services and consulting company and subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom, needed rapid data center expansion to deliver cloud services across Europe while meeting strict requirements for availability, reliability, security, scalability, efficiency and sustainability. To meet these goals quickly, T-Systems selected Vertiv to provide a modular, containerized Integrated Modular Solutions approach including Vertiv Knürr racks and Liebert thermal management systems.

Vertiv designed and factory-built 38 integrated modules (assembled onsite in Barcelona) to deliver a Tier III, 1.1 MW modular IT load (scalable to 5 MW), achieving deployment in 9 months versus a typical 24–30 month build. The Vertiv solution delivered measurable benefits: PUE of 1.3, Uptime Institute–recognized 99.98% availability, ~30% reduction in electrical consumption, minimized operating costs, and greater flexibility for staged expansion—earning industry recognition as an innovative project in Spain.
