Vantage connaît une croissance exponentielle grâce à ses installations nouvelles jumelées à ses acquisitions à travers l’Amérique du Nord et l’Europe.

The Development team is responsible for the entire process flow of delivering the physical data centers from shovel ready state through commissioning, working with Sales, Operations, and management along the way. The team also manages Vantage’s build partners to success through technical feedback and review, and actively participating in review of schedule and budget.

This approach empowers each member of the team to drive high
