Ernest Popescu, founder & CEO of Metrobloks, shares how Metrobloks is building future-led urban data centres that cater towards AI and sustainability
Much of the data centre industry is currently chasing single-tenant wholesale data centres. These are built to suit hyperscale demands, whilst demonstrating there is a large enterprise customer market that is currently underserved.
Metrobloks is one company eager to fill this gap in the market. As an emerging data centre developer, the company seeks to bring urban metro infrastructure capacity and offer something more unique.“I really wanted to create the data centre company that customers wish existed – that I as a former customer wished had existed when I was buying and procuring capacity for AWS and Facebook,” says Ernest Popescu, founder and CEO of Metrobloks.
“The data centre industry is largely commoditised, with many following the pack. “I’m passionate about the long-term creative thinking required to adapt and stay ahead of evolving customer requirements in a resource-constrained environment.”
He adds: “In founding Metroblocks, I wanted to harness the invaluable experience of passionate industry experts who will buy, build and operate data centres with a relentless focus on reliability, efficiency, sustainability and customer obsession.”
