What CRSC does
CRSC (Computer Room Services Corporation) is a privately held Canadian data center consulting, construction, and facilities management firm headquartered in Ajax, Ontario, with seven regional offices spanning Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, and Dieppe (New Brunswick), and operational reach into the United States. Founded in 1989, the company has designed and built more than 300 mission-critical facilities across Canada and provides end-to-end services spanning pre-construction consulting, design, construction management, equipment procurement, facilities management, and 24/7 maintenance supported by a centralized Network Operations Center (NOC).
The company's technology stack centers on mission-critical electrical and mechanical infrastructure, including vendor-neutral DCIM systems, NOC-based remote facilities management, hot-aisle containment, and free-air cooling solutions in which CRSC was the first cold-climate beta tester with Vertiv (Liebert). CRSC was the first Canadian colocation provider to achieve Uptime Institute Tier III construction certification (Markham, Ontario) and a LEED-certified facility, and has executed a 50MW hyperscale colocation build for a top-five global brand, demonstrating capability at the high-density (>10kW/rack), large-scale end of the market. Proprietary differentiation also includes a co-developed mobile technician application with Nova Solutions for field service workflows.
Commercially, CRSC operates a sales-led, direct-to-enterprise go-to-market with customized, project-based (quote-driven) pricing and multi-year service contracts. Revenue is generated across professional services (design, consulting, permitting, audit/lifecycle), managed services (facilities management, equipment maintenance), and hardware sales (power, cooling, monitoring, batteries from suppliers including Liebert, ABB), with telecommunications and FTTH services rounding out the mix. The customer base is concentrated in financial services, colocation providers (including a long-tenured client at its eighth facility), telecommunications, and general enterprise customers across Canada. The company is led by President & CEO Craig Oldman and is privately held with no disclosed external investors.
