Waite Ave, Managing Partner of UNS, states "We are proud to be listed alongside an elite line of companies in the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Modular/Container Data Center Procurement Guide. Today's IT departments face complex challenges that demand forward looking IT solutions. Whether you need a server room or data center for a new site, a refurbishment or a temporary facility, the problem is always the same.  From its conception, a traditional 'bricks and mortar' installation can take up to 2 years to design and build.  Our organization, Universal Networking Services, LLC proudly partners with Datapod to deliver an award-winning approach to this growing problem.  The Datapod system provides a unique, modular data center system that incorporates innovative design and cutting edge mechanical and electrical engineering.  It has extended the concept of containerized data centers to include critical site infrastructure such as modular generators, chillers and deployment services thereby providing a complete infrastructure solution for data centers.  By enabling data center users to deploy when they like, where they like, and for how long they like, the Datapod system offers performance superior to that of a 'bricks and mortar' data center facility, deploys faster and at a more cost-effective price point. With Datapod we can provide the data center community an alternative solution that maximizes their investment and increases the reliability and availability of their mission-critical facility."
