Global Coverage

The value of localization: Our localized approach reduces currency risk, maximizes tax efficiency, aligns OEM warranty and support programs, and supports local rules and regulations. Deploying technology closer to where it's used isn't just operationally smart — it's better for the planet. WWT's regional integration model reduces airfreight miles, minimizes packaging and supports your Scope 3 emissions reduction targets.

Secure and compliant: All WWT facilities are monitored via 24/7 CCTV with 90-day video retention. High-value equipment is stored in access-controlled, security-caged areas. All employees and subcontractors undergo standardized background checks, and our resources maintain the appropriate government clearances.

Our methodology

Our services framework sets us apart

Not every deployment requires the same depth of integration. WWT's four-level service framework scales from direct shipment to fully configured, tested and cabled rack builds — giving every project a clear, repeatable process and precise control over how much work happens before your technology ships.

ATC: AI Infrastructure

The Advanced Technology Center (ATC) is a digital ecosystem accessible anytime from anywhere in the world.

AI infrastructure moves fast, and it doesn't arrive pre-configured. WWT's ATC is built to test and validate AI solutions before our integration centers handle the complexities of GPU server deployments, multi-node cluster builds, high-density rack cabling and AI-ready networking at enterprise scale.

From procurement through power-on, we get your AI infrastructure ready for production.

Not sure what AI infrastructure you need? WWT's AI Proving Ground environment within the ATC lets you test configurations before they ever reach a rack.

Frequently asked questions

about our Supply Chain & Integration capabilities.

A: Staging refers to the process of receiving, inspecting and preparing individual devices for deployment — applying asset tags, loading firmware, configuring settings and verifying that each unit is ready to ship.

Integration goes a step further: It's the work of assembling components from multiple vendors into a complete, tested system. A staged laptop is configured and labeled. An integrated rack is fully built, cabled, powered on, burned-in and tested as a working unit before it ever leaves the facility.

WWT provides both, across four service levels that scale with the complexity of your deployment.

A: WWT's service framework covers four levels of integration depth (L1-L4), so you get exactly what your project requires.

Level 1 is stock and direct ship — procurement, warehousing and delivery without modification.

Level 2 adds physical integration work such as asset tagging, custom labeling, kitting and packaging, without powering on the equipment.

Level 3 covers configuration: firmware loads, operating system imaging, application deployment and MDM enrollment across any device type.

Level 4 is full rack and stack — the complete physical and logical build of rack systems, including cabling, power management, burn-in testing and custom crating for delivery to your data center.

A: WWT operates integration facilities across four global regions, totaling approximately 4.6 million square feet of staging and integration capacity.

In North America, the WWT North American Integration Center (NAIC) in Edwardsville, Illinois — just outside downtown St. Louis — spans five buildings and more than 4 million square feet. It is one of the largest dedicated IT integration campuses in the world.

In EMEA, WWT's European Integration Center in Amsterdam, Netherlands, provides approximately 338,000 square feet of capacity.

In the Asia-Pacific region, WWT operates facilities in Singapore and Mumbai, India. This regional footprint allows WWT to stage technology closer to where it will be deployed, reducing transit times, shipping costs and customs complexity.

A: Yes. Multi-OEM integration is a core part of what WWT does. Our engineering teams regularly design and build rack systems containing components from multiple manufacturers — networking, compute, storage, power and security equipment — configured and tested as a unified solution in a single facility. Managing multiple supplier timelines, coordinating firmware compatibility across vendors and producing a clean, documented build is standard practice. For programs with OEM-specific certification or validation requirements, WWT maintains the technical staff and infrastructure to meet those standards.

A: WWT supports global refresh programs through a combination of regional integration centers, just-in-time delivery and dedicated program management. Rather than shipping pre-configured equipment across borders from a single location, WWT stages technology in the region where it will be deployed — reducing transit times, lowering shipping costs, simplifying customs and cutting the program's carbon footprint.

WWT's program management capabilities cover procurement, demand forecasting, material planning and inventory management, including both WWT-owned and customer-consigned inventory models. For large, multi-site programs, WWT assigns dedicated program management resources to maintain visibility and coordination across the full deployment cycle.

A: AI and GPU server deployments introduce unique integration challenges: high-density power requirements, complex multi-node cabling, firmware dependencies across components and the cost of discovering configuration errors after equipment has shipped. WWT's integration facilities are built for this kind of work. The North American Integration Center supports up to 6 megawatts of production lab power with 10 megawatts in reserve — the infrastructure needed to power on, test and burn-in dense GPU clusters before they leave the facility. WWT engineers configure, validate and stress-test AI infrastructure so systems arrive at your data center production-ready.

For organizations that want to validate configurations before committing to a full deployment, WWT's Advanced Technology Center (ATC) provides AI-specific lab environments for testing and proof-of-concept work.
