Modular and Container based data centers have been a hot subject in the data center industry recently. They are an effective and fast way to implement extra capacity for current data centers that have run out of space and/or cooling.
Container based or modular data centers are an effective way to increase the capacity of your existing data center infrastructure in a rapid and cost effective manner. In addition container based data centers are an excellent way to deploy a data centers in remote or temporary locations.
Currently the most compelling reason to deploy a container based data center may be the energy savings, involved when deploying these energy efficient systems. The ability to save energy in the data center equates to a direct operational cost savings. Container based data centers can save up to 40 to 50% operational expenses over traditional data centers.
Vendor Neutral modular and container based data centers offer a lot of flexibility, as it will be very easy to deploy individual modules or containers designed to meet specific needs in terms of power and cooling densities, equipment types, and location demands which is harder to do in large traditional data centers. In addition, container based data centers afford the flexibility for global enterprises with a large amount of equipment at multiple locations to configure containers from a central location and then deploy them around the world.
The scalability of modular and container based data centers is an advantage over traditional data center space as it allows enterprises with multiple data centers to move capacity between the data centers as required. The deployment time of expanding a facility is much shorter when compared with a traditional data center. Data Centers can take years to design, build and make operational. Modular and container based data centers can be operational in just a few months.
Container Based Data Centers
Our container based data centers are heavy duty highly secure modular technical rooms built inside a rugged, standardized steel freight container and are designed for outdoor applications. These data centers provide unique fire and thermal resistance, anti-vandalism, blast protection and water tightness.
These container based vendor neutral data centers are a highly versatile, mobile solution ideal for mission critical telecom, IT, and network applications where high performance of servers, switches, and other computing and communications platforms is demanded. |
