Prefabricated Data Center Modules

When your reputation is built on the speed, agility and expert knowledge of data center infrastructure, co-location and edge computing services, there is no room for down-time or error.

This white paper compares pre-assembled and integrated data center modules, presents the advantages and disadvantages of each, and identifies which environments can best leverage the prefabricated module approach.

This paper proposes standard terminology for categorising the types of prefabricated modular data centers, defines and compares their key attributes, and provides a framework for choosing the best approach(es) based on business requirements.

This paper creates a framework for modular data center architecture and describes the various ways that modularity can be implemented for data center power, cooling, and space infrastructure.
