What is a modular data centre?

A modular data centre functionally provides the same purpose of a traditional, stick-built data centre, but is a portable and scalable method of deploying data centre capacity. It consists of purpose-engineered modules and components that can be easily transported and assembled to meet specific data needs. Modular data centre solutions can combine power, cooling, and IT infrastructure into one pre-engineered, pre-tested, containerized solution.

How are modular data centres impacting the data centre market?

Schneider Electric’s modular data centre solutions are designed to be quickly deployed, meaning they can be set up and operational in a short amount of time. This is beneficial for businesses that have a growing data need that requires the ability to seamlessly add data centre capacity.

Additionally, these solutions are adaptable to complex customer infrastructure requirements. This means they can be customised to fit various technical specifications and needs of different customers, ensuring compatibility with existing systems and processes.

Moreover, they are designed to be versatile for different locations and environments. This implies that Schneider Electric’s modular data centres can function effectively in various geographical locations and under different environmental conditions, whether it's a hot, cold, humid, or dry climate.
