Cable infrastructure maker Datacentersys has appointed Chris Crosby as CEO. 

The firm specializes in large scale data center fit outs of its own manufactured products backed by specialist services. Its product range includes cable assemblies, patch panels, cabinets, cable management and conveyance. 

Crosby said: "The parallels between Data Center Systems today and Digital Realty Trust prior to the company's IPO are remarkable: Both focus on a segment of the IT stack that is ripe for an innovative company to cut through long-standing inefficiencies and offer a solution that saves customers a huge amount of money on their datacenter projects while delivering a better environment for the customer," said Chris Crosby. "The infrastructure solutions that Data Center Systems has pioneered have the potential to impact the industry as much as the wholesale datacenter model that Digital Realty Trust did."

Speaking on the appointment Ehringer said: 'I'm been in business since 1994 and in 2002 formed DCS to take advantage of my mechanical background. We design the infrastructure, do the manufacturing and the installation and testing. What Chris will will do is allow me to see customers, to design and develop products. Chris is very good at growing companies and seeing opportunities."
