How It Creates More Efficient Data And Operations
As the end-to-end integrator and designer of the Mesa data center, Comarch assembled both the vision and the expertise to ensure a smooth interface between software and hardware.
As one of the leading users of IBM Power, Comarch is uniquely positioned to offer fully managed hosting services for IBM Power as well as IBM-based Comarch PowerCloud solutions. Comarch’s in-house knowledge-sharing helps clients streamline and maximize results with IBM Power infrastructure.
The facility also extends Comarch’s cloud computing platform for clients to create efficiently managed solutions on the servers using x86 microprocessors. Comarch Cloud offers a wide range of virtual computing resources, performance and storage tuned to each customer’s requirements, a self-service cloud management portal and a fast direct connection to network backbone providers.
Optimized connectivity between sites and the data center maximizes efficiency, both in the Mesa tech corridor and throughout Comarch’s global operations. The data center infrastructure packs the most computing power into the smallest possible space to emphasize efficient power density, drawing 2 million watts of power from about 15,000+ square feet of floor space. For context, a modern laptop computer draws about 50 watts.

The Data Center Of The Future:
A Reliable IT Partnership
Comarch emphasizes streamlined relationships, helping data center clients focus on their own business agility while realizing cost savings at the infrastructure level.
“Comarch is a big company, but we still have a relatively flat organizational structure,” says Marcin Geroch, consulting director of data center and IT services at Comarch. “This means our customers get access to our upper management early in the relationship, and we can make very quick decisions about customer needs.”
The relationship relieves clients of the significant and rising capital and labor costs to maintain both the hardware and staff expertise necessary to manage an in-house data center. It also helps those with legacy infrastructure modernize in a fraction of the time of an internal overhaul. Comarch’s Global Operations Center provides around-the-clock monitoring and performance management.
And Comarch’s proprietary software stack means the company can wring out cost at every level of design while also negotiating at scale with suppliers of labor, hardware, physical infrastructure and utilities.
“Our core technology is 100% proprietary,” Filipiak says. “As head of the R&D department, I take great pride in that.”
“This new data center in Arizona allows us to extend the Comarch R&D ecosystem to North America. Owning the data centers keeps us true to our brand as a system integrator and complete solution provider, supporting our customers the only way we know how.”
