Concentric, a national power and maintenance organization, has announced the acquisition of Critical Components (CCI), a data center services provider focused on critical power and precision cooling infrastructure. Concentric says the deal expands its data center infrastructure capabilities and service footprint, with CCI based in Atlanta and positioned as a provider in the Southeast US.
Concentric reports that CCI provides critical power and precision cooling services for data centers, as well as industrial and healthcare customers. Concentric also states that CCI will take a leadership role within Concentric to support Concentric’s stated mission of serving critical-infrastructure customers’ growing needs.
“Data centers require local expertise backed by enterprise-grade capabilities to meet the demands of speed, scale and ongoing resilience,” said John Winter, President and CEO of Concentric. “CCI has built an incredible organization. The strength of their team and capabilities is already meeting the design, build and service needs for some of the largest data center customers in the world. We are excited to have their leadership in delivering a one-stop platform for critical power and cooling services that data centers, utilities, and industrial users increasingly need across the US and beyond,”
“We’ve spent decades developing expertise in critical power solutions for commercial and industrial customers,” said Scott Cockerham, Founder and CEO of CCI. “Our team is known for solving complex power and cooling challenges with speed and precision. Concentric gives us a broader footprint and the resources to scale for our customers’ growing requirements.”
Concentric says the combined organization will address evolving data center infrastructure demands by pairing Concentric’s power solutions with CCI’s industry relationships and technical expertise, with an emphasis on comprehensive critical power and cooling capabilities for high-profile clients. Concentric also ties the acquisition to rising demand for artificial intelligence and advanced computing that it says is increasing the complexity of power and cooling challenges for data centers across the US.
