Specialized Data Center Sourcing, Services, and Logistics.
Welcome to Upstak, a company built around the unique demands of Data Center Infrastructure and build-out. We work with a selection of manufacturers to source, design, and provide products for the data center.
Data Center Infrastructure is driven by completion dates
Who We Are
01.
Put simply, Upstak is a Value-Added-reseller for Data Center Infrastructure Products. However, the build-out of data centers is anything but simple. Each client has unique requirements driven by a long list of varying and changing build-out dynamics. We solve these problems, evolve with you, and get the materials you need on-site, on time.
02.
Origins
We evolved out of another infrastructure business, Jtech Systems, Inc., founded in 2009. As the requirements of data centers became more specialized, Upstak was created to better focus on the unique service needs that came along with the industry.
Infrastructure
03.
The “show must go on”, and the turn-over date must be met. It is the most noticeable component of our business, and we relentlessly drive towards meeting expectations.
Through rain, sleet, and snow, we overcome behind-the-scenes challenges with the factories building your gear. We are accountable, responsible, and communicative during the complexity that is data center construction.
Getting the products to arrive on time is not the only metric. Infrastructure needs to meet the requirements of today's build, but also evolve with tomorrows. You need the longest lifespan possible for your investment.
We understand the importance of building flexibility, and upgradeability into the infrastructure layer.
Processing power increases, density requirements change, electrical requirements increase, heat loads become affected, networking speeds increase, and monitoring requirements become more important. These and other changes sometimes occur before the facility is completed.
These and other changes sometimes occur before the facility is completed. Working with a specialty provider of data center products means we understand the interplay of these factors and how they relate to the products being deployed. We work to maximize the lifespan of your infrastructure investment.
We understand the relationship between technology and infrastructure and can help navigate the complexities.
Technology is constantly evolving. Deployments of 100A, 100/400 GbE, and 40 kW+ all have unique demands on the infrastructure. The requirements start at the cabinet, move outward, and touch every component of the white space.
Power, cooling, and density drive multiple downstream demands on the products required to support them. A specialized data center provider understands how to manage these changes and deliver products that support them.
Logistics for the supply of data center materials is the integration of all these elements.
Data Centers have common goals, but unique challenges.
We solve challenges by creating custom-tailored solutions to keep the build going, and the data center operating.
Off-site material storage plans for ongoing operations, customized shipping and crating, customized logistics plans, global POP deployments, and a range of customized products.
