“Basically, we need the biggest and the best data center in the country.”

This is how the Seznam.cz team approached us in 2013, when they were choosing a supplier for their strategic decision: switch the existing practice of buying housing services to constructing their own data center.

Data volumes are growing at a rapid pace. We need to be able to respond to current trends. We must keep developing as the largest Czech search engine with news, a business directory, maps, and multimedia content.

Assignment Priorities

“Please come up with an offer for a secure and reliable data center for powering all the portals of our company, Seznam.cz, with the option of developing the data center.”
