We are a service driven organization comprised of exceptional humans with big hearts. As such, why we do what we do and the vision and values of who we do it with matters far more than what we do every day. We encourage you to read through our Vision and our Values below. If we are aligned here, we can accomplish anything together.
Our Vision
At the crossroads of high-tech fluid dynamics, real estate, and our energy grid sits the data center. An asset and industry that is misunderstood, mostly hidden, and at the core of the brave new digital world we live in today. They are the ever-evolving and growing metropolitan city designed to house the data and data processing that drives our economy forward.
There is no cloud, just someone else’s computer and the data center is the home of every “cloud” you use today… and will remain the home of every “cloud” your great-grandchildren will eventually use.
If you’ve ever walked into one of these purpose-built 100,000+ square foot facilities, with the security gates, iris scanners, bio-metric readers, badges, guards, and machinery all around you, it’s hard not to have your jaw drop, and an overwhelming feeling that you’re standing in something special.
Some say, ‘If you’ve walked through two or three of these facilities, you’ve seen them all!’ However, our experience has proven that this is far from reality. Each property and property owner is unique, and the use cases for these facilities only continues to grow in proportion to the volume of data sets being aggregated every second. Underwater data centers, data centers on ships, data centers in space, from 1,000 sq ft to 1,000,000 sq ft and beyond – we love them all!
The industry is, in fact, at an all-time high on numerous levels. Valuations of companies in the space, year over year IBIDA growth, year over year revenue per square foot, total industry spend, total square footage in production… every variable is growing and, in most cases, growing faster than ever before.
With Apple, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and IBM combined spending over $58B on data centers annually, the language of the data center has become one of the most valuable anyone can learn in the world today.
At Mentat Partners, we have not only learned to speak that language, but we’ve helped to translate the data center language into terms anyone can understand.
You may ask “why?” You see, we love data centers. LOVE. THEM.
Our Values
Servent Leadership
As servant leaders, we are called to remember that business is personal and that our focus is on building long term relationships with our clients and partners. This is achieved through taking a proactive and genuine interest in their lives as well as their personal and professional wants, needs and desires.
Navigating to Truth
Our value is in helping our clients navigate to the Truth. As such, before we act, react or share information both internally or externally, we must be certain it is, in fact, the Truth. We must also not be afraid to face the Truth, even if it is not agreeable to, or in opposition to, our existing beliefs and values.
Inherent Potential
Within most all human beings is the inherent potential to become and accomplish whatever one’s heart may desire. We are called to encourage and inspire others to pursue their passions, for so long as this potential, or the accomplishments sought, are not in conflict with our core values.
Continuous Learning
Just as the technologies we represent and deliver are continually evolving and improving, so must we.
Accountability & Integrity
We will do what we say we will do and be accountable for our actions should we succeed OR fail in accomplishing that which we set out to accomplish.
Honesty & Transparency
We will be honest and transparent with ourselves, each other, our clients and all who touch our lives.
