Data centres
Gleeds delivers cutting-edge, resilient data centres that securely house the world’s most critical resource: information.
As trusted partner to 8 of the 10 leading global data centre operators, we play a pivotal role in helping the sector achieve its limitless potential.
The global demand for data centre space is insatiable. Gleeds works with colocation, cloud and telecommunication service providers, as well as enterprise operators, to exploit the opportunities this presents.

Boosting speed to market
Right now, the principal factor in the successful delivery of a mission-critical data centre is the ability to move fast.
We strengthen our clients’ agility by removing obstacles, and making the unknowns known. Full visibility of cost, location and timelines brings certainty, and enables them to deliver on schedule and within budget.
Future-proofing the data centre to adapt as new technologies emerge is another key priority. We design and plan adaptable facilities that are tailored to the client’s immediate and long-term needs.
Driving lifetime sustainability
Data centres are energy-intensive facilities. Gleeds helps providers to minimise environmental impact and maximise operational efficiency, by reducing both the cost and use of power and resources.
Sustainability is ingrained at every stage of each project we undertake. We advise on efficient energy management, whole life value and lifecycle costing. This includes guidance on cooling systems, renewable energy sources, sea water cooling, energy management and sustainable procurement.
Our expert team can also provide the detailed evidence of carbon reductions, water savings and renewable power sources that have allowed our clients to implement sustainability methods successfully.
