IBM has been well known through most of its recent history as the world's largest computer company and systems integrator, With over 407,000 employees worldwide.

In November 2009 Applewood Data Services Ltd tendered and were chosen for our pedigree and flexibility to install the network infrastructure for the New Data Centre/Server Farm for IBM in Sale Manchester. Tight time scales were given and Applewood Data Services Ltd were under almost immediate pressure to deliver.

A specification was issued and very strict amount of space was allocated for inter cabinet connectivity which would require high density patching to ensure maximum connections with minimum units of space. IBM Data Centre installed by Applewood Data Services November 2009
