Rack Integration from Design to Deployment and Beyond: Celestica at CloudFest 2023

The theme of this year’s CloudFest conference — “The Resilient Cloud” — perfectly encapsulates the challenges the industry has faced over the last few years. Pandemic-induced supply chain disruptions, parts and components shortages, and the ever-increasing demand enterprises and consumers worldwide place on public cloud service providers creates  business growth challenges and opportunities. 

Today, data center infrastructure providers, operators, co-location and systems integrators require trusted and experienced organizations to deliver faster, smarter and more innovative integrated rack solutions. Celestica’s world-class engineering teams, global footprint, optimized supply chain, and extensive portfolio of storage, compute and networking Hardware Platform Solutions help our data center customers optimize their applications, lower their R&D costs, accelerate their deployment schedules and gain a competitive advantage.

Rack Design: Begin at the Beginning

Celestica’s engineering expertise and ongoing investments in our portfolio of cutting-edge hardware platform solutions and integration services enable our customers to navigate rapidly evolving market landscapes and capitalize on new opportunities as soon as they arise.

Any successful rack integration project begins at the design phase. Whether the rack is designed by the customer, by our engineering team, or jointly designed by Celestica and the customer, we work to ensure optimal architectural setup, application performance and manufacturability.

When the project is ready to move into production, we apply the latest in advanced manufacturing techniques combined with Lean Six Sigma principles to bring your products to market faster and with the highest level of quality. Our manufacturing services extend from L1 (system / component assembly) through to complete L12 (fully functional, tested turnkey systems), leveraging automated manufacturing solutions wherever possible to accelerate time-to-deployment.

In addition to design, productization, and testing, Celestica manages all other phases of a customer’s rack integration project including configuration-to-order, fulfillment, warehousing, logistics and support services, including IT asset disposition when systems reach end-of-life.
