3M Solutions for Data Center Infrastructure and Networking

Speed & Performance

3M Data Center Solutions are designed to deliver fast performance, quickly. From high-speed connectivity solutions that reduce power usage to field-terminated fiber connectors that enable fast, onsite installation to modular fiber management systems that provide scalability for your fiber network, 3M Data Center Solutions can expedite deployment while improving your bottom line ASAP.
Uptime & Reliability

The demand for data is exploding. And it isn’t going to stop. Customers expect data centers to perform like utilities. Which is to say, reliably, all the time, without interruption. Because if they do go down, the effects can be catastrophic. Just minutes of downtime can cost thousands or even millions of dollars. The reasons for data center downtime are many, including overheating servers, fires, interruption of power, operator error and security breaches. 3M Data Center Solutions can help with all of them. Because the data world waits for no one.
Efficiency & Sustainability

On average, only about half the energy used by data centers actually powers the servers and storage. So how can you reduce the waste and increase efficiency? One way is to spend less energy cooling the servers. Another is to use products that are more energy efficient and environmentally sustainable in the first place. The kind you’ll find at 3M Data Center Solutions.
