What we'll cover.

    The proposition

    Advice, not a reseller pitch.

    Every vendor says their product is the answer. Our advisory is independent, and now backed by whole-of-market data through our AVANT partnership.

    Whole market

    Compare providers and facilities across the market, not just the ones we happen to resell.

    On real data

    Live pricing, performance and reviews through the Pathfinder platform.

    Your outcome first

    Vendor-neutral recommendations built around your requirement, not a price list.

    What you get The longlist, the filters, the comparison matrix and the audit scores, in one pack.
    Powered by Pathfinder

    The market, mapped.

    The process

    Requirement to decision, with evidence.

    01

    The rail runs on its own. Hover to pause, or click a stage to jump to it.

    Due diligence

    The brochure, and the data.

    Every facility looks good on the tour route. Our audits score what sits behind it: capacity, resilience, operations and evidence.

    The facility Example claims, identifiers withheld

    Claims of the kind that appear in any facility brochure. The checks are the same on every audit we run.

    2 MW, three markets, one right answer.

    A fintech scaling into Europe needed 2 MW across three candidate markets. We ran requirements, longlist, audits and negotiation, and the chosen site beat the incumbent favourite on both connectivity and cost.

    Why Optronix

    Independent advice, from people who build.

    We don't just recommend a facility and walk away. Selection is the first stage of the data centre lifecycle, and where we start with most clients. After it we design, build, migrate and operate, all under one roof.

    The advice is honest because the relationship is long: we're the ones who'll deliver whatever you choose.
