Electrical and industrial products distributor Wesco International on March 1 announced it has formed a Data Center Solutions group, which is expected to provide customers with a “wider range of services and solutions” that include comprehensive data center lifecycle management.

The move is in line with Wesco’s recent evolution since its acquisition of Rahi Systems Holdings in September 2022. Rahi is a provider of global hyperscale data center solutions.

Wesco said the new group is expected to bring together complementary technologies, solutions and services to support Wesco’s hyperscale and multi-tenant data center customers. The new team will be led by Tarun Raisoni, Senior Vice President and General Manager and one of Rahi Systems’ founding members.

“Global data center customers provide dynamic and exciting business opportunities due to accelerating data consumption, increased adoption of the cloud, and ongoing demand for data storage and management,” said Bill Geary, Executive Vice President and General Manager for Wesco Communications & Security Solutions. “As our data center clients increase their scale, footprint, scope, and complexity, our ability to service them as the best tech-enabled supply chain solutions provider is paramount. With our new Wesco Data Solutions team, we provide more solutions and focused expertise around the clock and around the world.”
