As the digital landscape rapidly evolves, T5 Data Centers is strategically enhancing its operational framework. The company is announcing the formal alignment of its Services and Properties businesses into two distinct, highly focused operating entities. This evolution reflects T5’s significant growth and reinforces T5 Data Centers’ “Forever On” commitment to disciplined execution, operational excellence, and being the trusted partner for the world’s most advanced businesses.
Driving Focused Excellence
For nearly two decades, T5 Data Centers has led the industry in developing, constructing, and operating world-class digital infrastructure. The increased scale across its business lines necessitates a refined focus. By establishing T5 Services and T5 Properties as separate, dedicated organizations, T5 Data Centers empowers each to operate with greater independence, clarity, and accountability. This strategic move ensures the company continues to deliver the unparalleled performance and reliability its clients – from hyperscale to enterprise, telecom to government – expect, especially as demand for high-performance data center infrastructure, including specialized liquid-cooled environments, intensifies.
T5 Services: Precision in Execution
Under the leadership of Tom Mertz, COO & President, T5 Services will oversee T5 Construction and T5 Operations. This organization is purpose-built to deliver safe, reliable, and high-performance data center facilities, particularly in complex, live, and energized environments where uptime is absolutely non-negotiable.

T5 Operations ensures 24/7 mission-critical uptime, managing over 3GW of capacity across 50+ data centers globally, guaranteeing seamless, “Forever On” performance.
T5 Properties: Strategic Vision and Value
Peter Almond, CIO & President, will lead T5 Properties, managing T5’s assets and development activities. This organization drives the company’s development strategy, capital planning, power expertise, and site selection for scalable, high-density facilities optimized for next-generation workloads. T5 Properties excels in securing large-scale power capacities and delivering tailored, innovative solutions that are the demands of the AI era. With an owner’s mindset, the company prioritizes long-term value creation, disciplined capital deployment, and thoughtful growth, ensuring its facilities are designed, built, and maintained to evolve with future technological and business requirements.
