Arvato moving into computer logistics
Earlier this week Arvato announced plans to acquire ATC Computer Transport & Logistics, securing access to the latter’s Irish and European networks. ATC caters to data-centre operators and high-tech forwarders, as well as saas companies, offering high-security transport, white-glove delivery and technical services.
Coupled with Arvato’s existing tech expertise in supply chain management, this will allow the companies to expand computer logistics operations for clients in Ireland, Europe and beyond. The acquisition has already received regulatory and anti-trust approvals; the new combined entity can soon work to build a portfolio covering the entire data centre lifecycle, from construction to operations, maintenance, modernisation and decommissioning.
“Together we aim to set new standards in data-centre services,” says Mitat Aydindag, Arvato’s president for tech. (mk)
