Serverfarm

What Serverfarm does

Serverfarm is a global data center developer and operator with more than 25 years of experience designing, building, and managing critical IT infrastructure for hyperscalers, AI companies, and large enterprises. Headquartered in Los Angeles / El Segundo, California, and operating across North America and EMEA, the company runs a portfolio of 11-plus owned and operated facilities spanning Atlanta, Chicago, Houston (CTX1, CTX2, HTX1), Los Angeles, Moses Lake, Northern Virginia, Toronto, Amsterdam, London, and Tel Aviv. Its core offerings are organized around three product lines — AI-ML Data Centers (high-density, liquid-cooled facilities supporting 50–600kW per rack), Build-to-Suit Data Centers, and Data Center Campus developments — supplemented by the InCommand Data Center Management as a Service (DMaaS) platform that manages more than 750 client facilities globally through DCIM IT and DCIM FM service desks.

The company's underlying technology centers on proprietary waterless Air Cooled Chiller (ACC) closed-loop cooling, adaptive reuse of existing buildings to deliver AI-ready capacity in 12–18 months versus 3+ years for greenfield construction (reducing embodied carbon by up to 88%), and NVIDIA DGX-Ready certified supply chains that support SuperPOD and BasePOD reference architectures. Serverfarm is an NVIDIA Certified DGX Platform Partner of Choice and operates the InCommand DMaaS platform for outsourced facility and infrastructure management.

Revenue is generated through three streams: subscription-based colocation and wholesale leases of raised floor, power, and cooling infrastructure; one-time build-to-suit development fees and subsequent colocation agreements for hyperscale campuses; and recurring managed services revenue from InCommand DMaaS, DCIM IT, and DCIM FM contracts. Pricing is quote-based, structured as multi-year commitments, and depends on power density, location, and scope of services. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting CTOs, CIOs, and data center leaders at hyperscalers and AI companies, supplemented by participation in industry events such as Datacloud Global Congress. The company is privately held following Manulife Investment Management's September 2024 acquisition of a controlling interest.
