Public sector
Public money, value proven.
Proven procurement, at sovereign scale.
Governments and the wider public sector are refreshing the data centres that run public services, under budgets that answer to taxpayers and scrutiny that answers to everyone. The decision has to be the right one, and it has to be seen to be the right one. Interact puts measured, independent evidence under it, so the recommendation holds up to the framework that signed it, the audit that follows, and the public it serves.
A government or public-sector data-centre refresh is a large, multi-year commitment, and too often it is signed off without adequate information to make the best decision. We work with governments, agencies and public bodies, from national data-centre organisations to central departments, putting measured evidence under the provisioning decision whatever framework you procure under.
What it gives a public-sector buyer
- Proven to audit. Every figure traceable to measured data, built to survive framework compliance, public audit and political scrutiny.
- Value for public money. Proven reductions averaging 55% in cost and energy against a like-for-like refresh.
- Sovereign resilience, sized right. The capacity and performance public services demand, proven before you commit, across data centres, colocation and cloud.
- Aligned to policy and sustainability. Measured carbon and circular-economy evidence that maps to your sustainability commitments, from energy efficiency to right-to-repair and net zero.
- One evidenced view. Procurement, technical, finance, policy and sustainability leads working from the same numbers.
Why the public sector trusts it
Our authority is independent and on the record. We chair an IEEE water standards working group, co-chair a working group at the GDSA (the Government Digital Sustainability Alliance, an independent advisory body), and our research is peer-reviewed. Our work already sits underneath public-sector data-centre decisions. We sell no hardware and take no vendor commission, which is exactly why a procurement officer can put our evidence on the record.
How we work with you
Start self-serve with Interact Verify, the tooling that benchmarks the estate and models the options on the table. Or bring in Interact Advisory, the senior engagement we run on the decisions that carry the most weight, where the question is rarely the measurement itself but what to do with it. The same dataset and the same authority sit behind both.
Case study
ODC-Noord: driving IT performance.
ODC-N, the national data centre hosting the Dutch government, needed evidence that change would benefit the organisation. The recommended configurations cut energy and carbon 21% while increasing capacity.
