Datacentre Centre of Excellence

Your hub for datacentre excellence

Our dedicated Center of Excellence (CoE) for modern datacentre strategy, architecture, and delivery.

What is our mission?

The Westcon‑Comstor Datacentre (DC) CoE gives partners, CSPs and co‑location providers a centralised capability to design, modernise and operate high‑performing datacentres. We combine cross‑vendor architectures, workload‑aligned designs, automation best practice and energy‑aware optimisation to help you deliver scalable, resilient and AI‑ready environments across customer segments—from SMB and mid‑market to large enterprise.

Step inside the Datacentre CoE

Who’s it for

Serv-Edu-howto-card

Partners modernising customer estates

DC‑focused resellers, CSPs expanding from cloud‑only into hybrid, teams delivering refresh, consolidation or AI platform design.

Serv-Support-Card

Providers expanding their value‑add

Co-location providers introducing managed DC services, and network/security partners moving into DC infrastructure.

Serv-Edu-digital-card

Customers needing neutral guidance

Enterprises seeking multi‑vendor clarity, and SMB/mid‑market organisations with on‑prem DCs planning hybrid transitions.

The challenges we help you solve

Increasing complexity across compute, storage, virtualisation, security and multi‑cloud.

Pressure to support AI and high‑density workloads with limited specialist skills.

Conflicting vendor roadmaps and platform changes (hypervisors, Disaster Recovery (DR), orchestration).

Need for stronger margin, differentiation and repeatable DC services.

What the Datacentre CoE delivers

End‑to‑end architecture support

Multi‑vendor, outcome‑aligned designs covering compute, storage, fabric, virtualisation, DR, cloud and security.

Workload and platform guidance

Modernise vs migrate, consolidation paths, hybrid patterns, AI‑ready designs and optimisation.

Integrated delivery capability

Pre‑builds, POCs, install services, health checks and lifecycle optimisation.

Partner growth and margin improvement

Faster quoting, commercial optimisation, funding support and repeatable high‑margin services.
