Today, when someone mentions “cloud” or “virtualization,” people generally have preconceived notions about its true definition and function. The same can be said about modular and prefabricated data center solutions. At a high level, they’re single, pre-wired systems that allow for quick deployment, lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO), and can be customized to meet most data center technical requirements.
The evolution of modular data centers has risen to the forefront over the last few years. Enterprises needing to quickly deploy projects to support commerce are looking at prefabrication as a strong option for initiatives that need to be up and running within an abbreviated timeline. Data centers also require innovative mission critical power, and thermal management solutions that ensure optimization of IT assets. Modular data center solutions offer scalability in a controlled environment and can be quickly assembled with lower construction costs.
