Modular data centers are data centers that are portable and can be deployed anywhere. They are made up of modules that are purpose-engineered. In the current market usually traditional data center is well known but with technical and financial advantage modular data center is on the rise.
Advantage of the Modular Data Center:
Time to deployment: The great thing about using a prefabricated data center is that they come custom configured and ready to go. All the engineering, construction, and testing is performed off-site, so the unit arrives ready to power up and commission. By eliminating the steps required for on-site construction, such as approvals, building permits and site preparation, you can cut installation time by 30 percent or more.
Modular systems are scalable: Modular infrastructure can be deployed based on current IT requirements, and additional components can be added later on demand. This will significantly reduce the total cost of ownership.
Lower cost to operate: Modular data centers are generally more efficient and less expensive to operate. This is because all the components have been chosen for tight integration, which means fewer subsystems. Also, more than half of a conventional data center’s energy costs go to power the chillers. But with a modular data center, you have a more compact space that is more energy efficient and requires less cooling power.
Smaller operational footprint: Most of the costs for data center goes for renting or acquiring space. While taking up less space clearly saves money. Using a modular data center approach also allows users to build out as needed, adding additional modules and even stacking them to take up less space.
Modular systems are changeable: In the system, modules can be reconfigured to provide great flexibility to meet changing its requirements.
Modular systems are portable: Standalone components, standard interfaces, and Easy-to-understand structures save time and money when installing, upgrading, reconfiguring, or moving modularity.
High density and low PUE: Although it is modular, prefabricated data centers are fully operational and completely self-contained. The system is integrated with servers, data storage, power lines, internal monitoring, software, security, cooling, and even fire detection. These plug-and-play data center modules exhibit an extremely low power usage effectiveness (PUE).
Modular components are replaceable: Failed modules can be easily replaced for upgrades or repairs, and often do not need to stop the system from running.
Flexibility: Even though it is pre-constructed, data center modules are still fully customizable. This means you can specify the hardware for inclusion or use your own for whatever configuration suits your requirements. Everything can be assembled to order, including cooling, lighting, and power; even security systems can be set up to use keypad, RFID, or biometric access. Plus, with custom hardware and software, you still shorten time to deployment and cut setup costs.
Easier commissioning: Commissioning a modular data center is much easier than commissioning a traditional data center. FAT (Factory Acceptance Testing) before deployment gives you greater confidence in your data center since you will know it is working before you deploy it.
