For companies scaling AI infrastructure, \u201cend-to-end\u201d means having a single logistics partner manage the full lifecycle of data center equipment \u2013 from factory pickup and deployment to decommissioning, refurbishment, and redeployment.<\/p>\n
The objective is consistent: fewer handoffs, faster deployment, and greater visibility across every stage. In fact, around 85% of hyperscalers say they would prefer to work with a single end-to-end logistics partner, yet only 43% feel they currently have one.\u00a0That gap \u2014 85% wanting it, only 43% getting it \u2014 defines the commercial opportunity DHL is positioned to capture given our scale, footprint and capability.<\/p>\n
That journey typically begins with first-mile pickup at the factory and continues through international transport, staging and warehousing, and high-security, white-glove delivery into the data hall \u2013 the secure area within a data center where racks and servers are installed and commissioned.<\/p>\n
But the work does not end once equipment is live. As infrastructure is upgraded, servers and racks must be securely removed, refurbished, recycled, or redeployed to other locations. Managing this full lifecycle has become increasingly important as AI hardware grows more valuable and refresh cycles accelerate.<\/p>\n
For customers, this approach delivers greater speed, predictability, and accountability through one integrated partner. With capabilities spanning multiple business units, DHL Group is well positioned to support the entire data center lifecycle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For companies scaling AI infrastructure, \u201cend-to-end\u201d means having a single logistics partner manage the full lifecycle of data…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18635,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21057],"tags":[185,699,22154,21073,21072,4730,5869],"class_list":["post-18634","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dhl","tag-article","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-delivered","tag-deutsche-post","tag-dhl","tag-digitalization","tag-innovation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18634","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18634"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18634\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18635"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18634"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18634"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18634"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
