The Expertise Powering Tomorrow’s Data Infrastructure

Walk through any manufacturing facility and you’ll hear it: Precision. The hum of machinery, the rhythm of skilled hands at work, decisions being made in seconds that would take software an hour to calculate.

This isn’t the part of digital transformation that gets the headlines. There’s no hyper-focus on the work that goes into welding quality, supply-chain engineering or on-site commissioning. But this is where tomorrow’s digital world is being built.

Because before AI models run, before data flows and innovation happens, someone has to design, build and deliver the infrastructure that makes it possible, securely, at scale and with no room for error.

That work happens on the ground, by teams who understand the engineering discipline, operational pressure and technical precision required to build the backbone of the digital economy.

While much of the industry is sprinting to expand capacity, the organisations out in front are the ones investing in capability, control and craftsmanship, a combination that turns ambition into uptime, resilience and speed-to-delivery.

The global modular data-centre market alone was estimated at around US$29.04 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach approximately US$75.77 billion by 2030, growing annually at a rate of 17.4% according to Grand View Research.

What this tells us is that companies aren’t just building more infrastructure, they’re demanding it faster, smarter and with greater density than ever. Building tomorrow’s infrastructure is no longer a nice-to-have. It’s a strategic need.

When the market is expanding fast, the difference between just building and building well matters. Here are the areas where expertise truly counts:

1. End-to-End Control Infrastructure is no longer about shipping racks and crossing fingers. From design and fabrication to deployment and maintenance, organisations with in-house capability accelerate timelines, reduce risk and deliver cost certainty. At Durata, this in-house model is accelerated through our AI:20 factory, where high-density modular solutions are fabricated to spec and made ready for rapid global deployment.
2. Precision Engineering & Fabrication High-density rack capacity, specialist cooling, high-power feeds, logistics and global shipping, each step demands specialist know-how. Modular systems do more than replicate a traditional data centre, instead optimising output. The modular market growth is driven by precisely this, through the ability to build off-site, integrate advanced components and deploy rapidly.
3. Scalability & Repeatability The margin for error shrinks as adoption of AI, cloud and edge accelerates. You need systems that can scale globally, maintain consistency and integrate into complex ecosystems. Experts build not just for today, but for what’s next, ensuring that infrastructure won’t be the bottleneck as demand grows.
4. Regional Reach, Global Footprint Digital transformation doesn’t wait for perfect conditions. Whether it’s North-East England or Atlanta, Georgia, delivery teams need to be agile and embedded on the ground. That local presence, combined with global manufacturing and logistics, is a hallmark of infrastructure expertise.
5. Sustainability & Resilience Built-In Energy efficiency, environmental regulation, cooling innovation and uptime expectations all matter. Expertise in these dimensions separates commodity builds from future-proof infrastructure. Modular data centres offer flexibility and speed of deployment that align with both business needs and sustainability goals.

If you’re the CIO, infrastructure lead or technical sponsor in your organisation, the ask is simple. Validate the partner, not just the pitch:

• Do they control fabrication or rely on third-parties?
• Can they deploy globally with a single accountable team?
• Do they build for density, speed and scale, not just today’s requirements?
• Are sustainability and efficient lifecycle operations built into the design, not just as an afterthought?

At Durata, we believe that what sets us apart isn’t simply the fact that we build reliable high-quality data centres, but how we build them:

• A purpose-built factory in Teesside, where the design and fabrication happens under one roof.
• A logistics capability that supports global shipping from the UK, leveraging our Freeport status to ease transit and customs complexity.
• A US hub in Atlanta to ensure we’re local wherever our clients need us, ready to deliver and support.
• An expert team that spans electrical and mechanical engineering, fabrication, manufacturing, deployment and ongoing support because infrastructure is a lifecycle journey, not a one-off transaction.

As demand for computing power soars (driven by AI, 5G, edge computing and cloud services), infrastructure must keep pace. A recent report suggests that much of the capacity expansion needed is modular in nature, built to deploy rapidly, scale easily and integrate with emerging tech.

The companies that win won’t just adopt infrastructure; they will partner with teams whose expertise redefines what infrastructure can do. They’ll move from data centre as a cost to seeing data centre investment as a competitive asset.

For organisations willing to engage on that level, the outcomes are real with faster time-to-value, reduced risk, operational agility and a platform built for what’s next.

Building tomorrow’s data infrastructure demands precision, process, global delivery and an expert mindset. If the next decade is about data, compute and agility, then the infrastructure underpinning it needs to be designed, built and managed by experts. That’s the heart of what Durata brings to the table.
