We collaborate closely with clients from the outset, balancing risks, costs, and long-term benefits. Each project is tailored to meet specific needs and budget requirements, ensuring smooth delivery.
Our approach covers key design areas: architectural, electrical, mechanical (cooling), data infrastructure, and security. We analyse these components thoroughly to optimise performance, capacity, compliance, and build or maintenance costs.
Whether through outright purchase, lease-to-own, or rental options, we provide turnkey solutions designed for future-proof growth.

Datablok is Shapes solution to the problems faced by a traditional fixed datacenter.
With lower sunk costs Datablok is a prefabricated, modular, transportable, secure containerised data centres. Each is a bespoke turnkey solution created specifically to fit your ICT environmental infrastructure requirements both now and in the future.
Built uniquely to the customer specification in 12-16 weeks Datablok uses the highest quality 10’, 20’ or 40’ ISO-certified containers, ensuring requirements for deployment, capacity, availability, security and functionality are met.
Specifications can include emergency/standby generators, fault-tolerant power and cooling systems, fire detection/suppression, access control systems and comprehensive remote monitoring/management options.
Datablok is an ideal solution when the option of using a third-party off-site co-location facilities either in-country or offshore does not satisfy an organisation’s security, cost or performance demands.
Applications well suited to the Datablok include the physical housing of ICT equipment for production, disaster recovery, backup, development, communication or edge requirements.
PRODUCTION
Datablok is well suited to provide a cost-effective, secure and high-availability environment for your production hardware. All our solutions are bespoke to ensure they provide value and deliver the required ROI for our customers.
DISASTER RECOVERY
Easily established either as a permanent or a portable ICT disaster recovery environment, the datablok provides the opportunity to design your DR systems to your specific requirements. Options include adding workstations internally for emergency use.
DEVELOPMENT
A viable option for project-based ICT environment requirements, the datablok can be deployed in significantly shorter timeframes than a legacy ‘bricks-and-mortar’ data centre, with the option of selling the valuable asset at the completion of the project.
EDGE DEPLOYMENTS
Your Datablok solution can be custom designed for a wide range of edge requirements, including micro edge data centres and edge colocation facilities. Fast deployment times and the ability to relocate as demands change make the datablok an ideal choice.
Once your Datablok is installed and commissioned on site, an ongoing proactive maintenance program is implemented to ensure expected performance metrics are exceeded. Remote real-time monitoring is utilised to assist with the proactive response to any potential technical issues.
A well-maintained datacenter keeps your ICT infrastructure running efficiently and securely, minimising risks and downtime.
Our valued customers choose a Datablok solution for a combination of reasons specific to their ICT infrastructure needs and budget.
Key factors supporting the business case include the following:
With Tier-III and Tier-IV fault-tolerant and concurrent-maintainable topologies.
With a typical build completion time of 12-16 weeks.
Of 30+ years in the harshest environments
By adding to your infrastructure solution as your capacity requirements grow.
Your data centre safely, quickly, easily easily and very cost-effectively.
Your existing data centre when buildings lack the internal space to build, extend or upgrade.
Your entire data centre build project for long-term or short-term requirements.
Due to energy efficient power and cooling equipment design and operation.
That are always incurred when building a ‘fixed’ data centre.
A fully operational data centre locally for deployment nationwide or off-shore.
From physical or environmental threats; fire, flooding, storms, earthquakes, break-ins, etc.
Including standby generator/s, redundancy, racks, security, remote management etc.
All critical operating parameters, alerts, alarms, access, event logs, etc.
