Datacenter and cloud

Since 2020, I have gained five years of experience in the Data Center and Cloud computing sector. During this time, I have contributed to the design and implementation of complex IT infrastructures, which are essential for the digitalization of large corporations and Public Administration. My experience has provided me with a deep understanding of the latest technologies in the field of IT infrastructure. I have worked on colocation, hybrid, and on-premise cloud solutions, focusing on optimizing performance, security, and sustainability.

A Rating 4 (former Tier 4) ANSI/TIA Datacenter
