German logistics company Arvato has entered the US data center logistics market with the start of operations in Des Moines, Iowa. It marks the first of several planned sites, with locations in Atlanta, Milwaukee, and Dulles already planned.
In Des Moines, Arvato has launched operations for one of its largest clients, offering services ranging from warehousing and white-glove last-mile delivery to cabling, staging, and high-precision equipment handling. Among the latest innovations is the deployment of liquid-cooled server racks – a high performance solution for thermal management in modern data centers – which has not yet been introduced in Europe.
The US entry is the latest step in the integration of Irish-based ATC earlier this year.
Arvato tech president, Mitat Aydindag, said: “The US is the world’s most important market for data centers and a natural next step for our expansion. With many of the hyperscalers [large Cloud services companies] heavily invested, we are now able to offer our services seamlessly across both sides of the Atlantic – delivering integrated solutions with consistent standards, wherever our clients operate.”
Team members from Arvato hubs in Frankfurt, London, and Dublin contributed to the ramp-up and training efforts in the US ensuring service quality and safety standards are aligned with international benchmarks.
