NICK EWING
MANAGING DIRECTOR
Nick is the Managing Director of EfficiencyIT, and a specialist in data centre, consultancy and engineering.
Today, he is primarily responsible for leading its sales, marketing, and new customer acquisition strategies.
With more than 25 years of experience in the critical IT and infrastructure sectors, Nick is a born problem solver and tech enthusiast. His passion for combining highly efficient technologies with innovative engineering has helped EfficiencyIT to create data centres for some of the world’ s most renowned businesses, including Automotive Sports teams, leading Life Science Institutions and Government organisations.
From the outset, the modular approach enabled it to meet those demands with units that could be built, shipped, powered and connected in weeks rather than months.
Partnership with Schneider Electric underpins modular data centre approach Schneider Electric is central to how EfficiencyIT designs and builds power and cooling systems.
“ One of our primary partners is Schneider Electric,” Nick says.“ We’ ve had a very long relationship with Schneider Electric, going back to the early 2000s.”
He notes how that alignment extends beyond hardware to core company values.
“ Schneider Electric has a fantastic sustainability ethos and it’ s something that is very important to us,” Nick says.“ their tech supports our customers from the power layer all the way to the chip. We can work with Schneider Electric because their solutions align with our view of sustainability and electrical efficiency.”
That relationship is also evident in the dedicated range of prefabricated solutions that EfficiencyIT has developed, aptly named, ModularDC— power modules, traditional enterprise compute facilities, secure government units and AI pods.
The company’ s modular data centres incorporate Schneider UPS and electrical systems, with capacities scaling up to several megawatts. The solutions have been adapted to support high-density applications, including those requiring liquid cooling for racks supporting 50kW to 100kW or more.
Rapid deployment and scaling to meet AI demand The speed and flexibility of prefabricated systems have become vital as AI drives data and compute intensity beyond current infrastructure limits.“ Prefabricated facilities are on the rise and demand will only increase because of the need for speed to market. HPC, AI and GPUaaS are all driving this,” Nick says.
