Corgi Insurance Launches Data Center Insurance Program

In a significant development for the tech sector, Corgi Insurance has unveiled a new insurance program specifically tailored for data centers. With the rapid growth in AI and cloud computing, data centers are becoming vital infrastructure that support these technologies. However, as demand surges, operators face complex risks related to construction, operations, and the intricacies of hardware management.

A Holistic Approach to Insurance

The newly launched program by Corgi aims to streamline the insurance process for data center developers and operators. Traditionally, operators had to navigate multiple policies and carriers to cover their unique vulnerabilities. Corgi's innovative solution consolidates crucial exposures into a single program that encompasses the entire lifecycle of a data center, from construction and commissioning to ongoing operations.

Construction Coverage

During the construction phase, the program provides builders with specialized coverage against risk and delays in startup. This ensures that any unexpected losses that delay the operational readiness of the facility are covered. Corgi recognizes that any setbacks during this crucial phase can lead to significant financial repercussions.

Operational Coverage

Once operational, the needs of a data center evolve significantly. Corgi offers coverage for essential property and infrastructure such as power, cooling systems, and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). Additionally, the program includes business income coverage to protect against interruptions caused by covered losses that may take the facility offline.

Protecting Valuable GPU Assets

One of the standout features of the new insurance program is its focus on the hardware assets within data centers, particularly Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). Corgi introduces a unique residual value protection plan for GPU hardware, which is becoming increasingly critical as companies invest heavily in AI and high-performance computing. This aspect of the program ensures that these expensive components are safeguarded as financeable assets.

Meeting the Needs of the Modern Infrastructure

"Data centers are evolving into crucial infrastructure globally, but the surrounding insurance frameworks have lagged behind these changes," stated Nico Laqua, co-founder of Corgi Insurance. The company aims to address the insurance needs essential to the successful building and operation of these facilities, particularly in light of the increasing investment in AI infrastructure.

Corgi Insurance’s new program is not only designed for data center operators but also for colocation providers, GPU cloud and AI compute hosts, and the developers behind these vital establishments. As the tech landscape continues to transform, Corgi’s proactive approach positions it as a leader in the insurance sector.
