Project description:
The rapidly growing demand for high-quality IT solutions presented Super Micro Computers—the world's leading manufacturer of high-performance servers for AI applications—with an urgent challenge. To meet growing market demand, a new testing and production facility was needed at short notice.
CONRATO was asked to assist Super Micro Computers in finding and leasing a suitable location. We then designed and built high-quality testing and production facilities in record time, fully in line with the client's technical requirements and ambitions.
From vision to technical program:
Parallel to the leasing process, Super Micro's ideas and wishes were translated into a spatial and technical program of requirements. An integrated design was developed in close collaboration with specialists in the field of electrical (E) and mechanical (M) installations.
After approval of the design, we organized a tender, in which electrical and mechanical installers and a coordinating building contractor were selected simultaneously. This process was carried out according to theOpen Book methodology, which focuses on transparency, cooperation, and shared interests.
This approach resulted in:
- significant time savings
- complete cost control
- manageable risks
- optimal cooperation between all parties involved
CONRATO applies this proven method more often – with demonstrable success.
High-performance infrastructure:
Testing servers requires a very high electrical power supply and generates large amounts of heat. That is why the facility is equipped with an extremely powerful and redundant cooling system, based on both air and water cooling. This guarantees a stable, reliable, and future-proof testing environment.
Flexible and demountable design:
Because the building is leased, both the spaces and the installations have been designed to be completely removable. This means that at the end of the lease period, the building can easily be restored to its original condition—without compromising on functionality or quality during the period of use.
