Established in 2017 to meet the rapidly expanding global demand for data processing and storage solutions, Echelon Data Centres( Echelon) develops, owns and operates a growing network of large-scale data centre campuses across Europe. Through its specialist services, the company delivers resilient, scalable infrastructure for cloud service providers, hyperscalers and large enterprises. Over time, the company has built a fast-growing portfolio of data centre, power generation and storage facilities that provide reliable capacity across Ireland, the UK and Europe. What sets Echelon apart is a power-first philosophy that treats energy infrastructure not as an afterthought but as the foundation on which everything else is built. Additionally, all of its facilities are developed and operated with sustainability and ethical consideration front of mind, in line with its commitment to the communities in which it operates. Simon McCormick, Chief Commercial Officer, tells us more about how that approach is shaping the company’ s expansion and why the most important resource in the data centre industry is neither land nor technology, but power.
