LUXCONNECT S . A
create the cabinets we need in line with European regulations and installed the lighting system . Using an installer which is active outside Luxembourg in the industrial domain made us see data centres as an industry – you can ’ t operate these buildings like a normal office .”
Bobinindus Power Systems is also a valued partner for LuxConnect , delivering and maintaining all of its generator sets ( gensets ). “ They use very good brands out of Germany , so they have real experience ,” Lampach says . As for Sperber , this business was in charge of heating , ventilation and air conditioning – a vital aspect of a green business – for all offices and server rooms .

LUXCONNECT ’ S FUTURE

For LuxConnect ’ s future , Lampach plans to expand its services to ensure the business remains trusted and relevant .
“ Up until now our business model has been one where we offered the infrastructure or the dark fibre network ,” says Lampach . “ We are convinced that for the future we have to enlarge our offer .
“ We hope to not only be present in Luxembourg , but to set up with other data centre providers – we have chosen two already , one in London and one in Frankfurt – and set up a match network between operators , which brings forward the whole industry . Currently in Europe , there is an initiative from the European Commission to focus on high performance computing , so in the end we will have to have an HPC network in place that brings connectivity and data centres together .
“ More and more out partners and customers are requesting higher services targeted to the IT domain , and we are looking to prepare LuxConnect for the future .” 42 September 2017
