OUR STORY

THE WORLD'S BIGGEST CUSTOMERS, DEPEND ON US

THE BEGINNING

Starting to work with a large cloud provider in Texas, soon followed by Facebook, the company found itself at a critical inflection point. Massive growth at the social media company caused it to rethink all of its operations and infrastructure around data centers.   

TWO YEARS OF COLLABORATION

Two years of collaborative engineering and design at Facebook, with SYNNEX participating in the early design and integration work, yielded what became Facebook’s current state-of-the-art data center. In April 2011, Facebook and others made these designs public and incorporated them into the Open Compute Project Foundation, revealing to the world the core integration team that had developed and demonstrated its integration expertise in these breakthrough data center concepts. 

CONTINUED GROWTH

As we have grown and invested not only our technical capabilities, but also in our imperative to become a thought leader in the space, investing in solutions for today, the next five years and beyond. Over time, our customers have  evolved from beyond the large-scale data center landscape into the Edge and on premise cloud environments.
