The data center industry finds itself at a pivotal crossroads. The rise of AI workloads, increasing energy demands, and the need for sustainable infrastructure are reshaping how hyperscalers and colocation providers operate.

That is why Johnson Controls has strategically positioned its Global Data Center Solutions (GDCS) division to meet the complex demands of modern data centers with an approach built on three foundational pillars: Innovation, scalability, and consistency.

Innovation - Fueling breakthrough product development to meet the ever-evolving technical demand

Scalability - Enabling global manufacturing capacity to support a rapid and reliable deployment

Consistency - Ensuring uniform performance and quality across all regions

“As data centers are becoming more densely populated from a power standpoint, we’re able to continuously innovate new products and continue to leverage the scale that we have across the globe”

And this is the biggest reason why Johnson Controls’ global data center organization initiative has been customer-led and customer-focused from day one.
