Nimbus

Building data centre resilience

The surge in data usage is driving a construction boom for data centres. Developers and data centre operators must navigate a specialised risk and insurance landscape for their projects to succeed.

Marsh’s Nimbus programme is a market leading insurance solution for data centre construction projects, designed specifically for their unique challenges. It helps streamline coverage for every stage of the project lifecycle, from planning and construction to completion and handover. 

Marsh has been at the forefront of supporting and delivering results for clients in the construction, data, and technology sectors. Our innovations continued with the launch of the Marsh Data Centre Insurance and Risk Management Services. This group brings together specialists from across Marsh, enabling clients to access effective risk management and insurance solutions to navigate the complexities of data centre operations and optimise their investments and operational capabilities.

Recognising the growing need for data centre construction projects, Marsh Nimbus furthers our commitment to meeting the technology sector’s infrastructure demands.
