In a recent discussion, Dave Phillips, Marketing Manager, and Gareth Meyer, Chief Revenue Officer, shared their vision for the company’s future and the evolving data centre landscape with IT Channel Oxygen.
As a leader in , we remain committed to building strong channel partnerships and driving client success. Our strategic initiatives include exploring acquisitions in the US, enhancing service offerings, and expanding into emerging markets like the Nordics.
AI and GPU Workloads: A Game-Changer for Data Centres
The rise of AI and GPU-heavy applications is reshaping data centre operations. Gareth Meyer explains “Companies deploying AI at scale require infrastructure capable of handling massive computational power and data throughput. For example, many of the current DC pioneers are building facilities capable of supporting tens of thousands of GPUs to power applications”
The Nordics are playing a pivotal role in this shift, offering advanced infrastructure, renewable energy, and innovative cooling solutions. Facilities designed for megawatts per rack are setting new benchmarks for scalability and efficiency, while requiring data centre professionals to adapt to high-power environments and rapidly evolving technologies.
Gareth continues “Technimove has prioritised upskilling its workforce, enabling our engineers to support these specialised environments and provide around-the-clock operational expertise.”
The Rise of Hybrid Data Centres
While cloud adoption has dominated the past decade, many organisations are now embracing hybrid models, combining public cloud with private, on-prem infrastructure.
According to Gareth, “Rising costs, performance challenges for non-cloud-native applications, and the specialised demands of AI workloads are driving a shift back to hybrid infrastructure”.
Hybrid environments offer the best of both worlds: scalability and flexibility alongside greater control over sensitive data, reduced latency, and optimised costs. “While the public cloud served as a vital solution during the pandemic, businesses are now evaluating the cost-effectiveness and performance optimisation of hybrid models,” Gareth continues.
Sustainability: The Cornerstone of Innovation
With rising energy costs and environmental concerns, sustainability has become a driving force in data centre innovation. Gareth highlights how the Nordics, with their abundant hydropower and geothermal energy, provide a blueprint for greener facilities.
Meyer says “The Nordics, once again, are leading the charge. They have access to a lot more hydropower and geothermal energy, and facilities in that region offer something of a blueprint for greener data centres”
This focus on sustainability isn’t just about meeting regulatory requirements—it’s a strategic advantage that aligns operations with global climate goals and fosters long-term innovation.
Simplifying Complexity with Packaged Services
As data centres grow more complex, the demand for packaged services is increasing. Offerings like physical audits, cooling assessments, and network optimisation help businesses streamline operations while allowing experts to handle infrastructure intricacies.
Dave Phillips, Marketing Manager, underscores this shift, emphasising Technimove’s commitment to delivering clear, scalable solutions that let clients focus on their core business priorities.
“We aim to simplify service selection and scalability, ensuring clients can focus on their business while we handle the complexities. It’s important for that to come through in our messaging and marketing to let our clients – both new and existing – know that we’re putting their requirements first.”
Looking Ahead: 2025 and Beyond
To stay competitive, businesses must invest in expertise, adopt hybrid infrastructure models, prioritise sustainability, and leverage strategic partnerships. Meyer believes training and certifications will be key to maintaining operational excellence and providing the best-qualified professionals to deliver top-tier services.
As Meyer says “Training and certifications will be key to Technimove maintaining our operational excellence and keeping us at the forefront of everything we do, and providing the best and most qualified people to deliver those services”
As the data centre industry evolves, Technimove aims not just to respond to trends but to help define them—offering forward-thinking solutions that empower businesses to thrive in 2025 and beyond.
“Our mission is to provide clients with the tools and expertise they need to navigate this ever-changing landscape,” says Meyer. “We’re not just adapting; we’re leading the way.”
