Prefabricated modular
data centers are expensive
Prefabricated modular data centers are often less costly than traditional builds.
Building on the last decade of experience, PMDCs are produced off-site using factory-tested, standardized components and are delivered to the site exactly when the site is ready for installation.
This technology significantly reduces the time – and associated costs compared design and build bespoke data centers.
Prefabricated modular data centers
are just shipping containers.
They’re ugly and can’t be customized.
While they are containerized data centers, they are also customizable, durable and can easily blend into other data center infrastructure.
While the very first PMDCs were based on ISO containers, PMDCs now span the full data center infrastructure spectrum: rows, rooms, full facilities and power
and thermal infrastructure. Standardization still allows customization, especially as
PMDCs become more common
and available.
Prefabricated modular data centers are a security risk. They can be lifted onto a flatbed and carted away!
Prefabricated modular data centers are as resilient and secure as any other type of data center.
PMDCs are just another type of data center. They will be equally secure if they are protected through the same digital and physical safeguards you use to protect a data center building or edge equipment.
They’re a niche product only used when a center runs out of white space.
The adoption of prefabricated modular data centers is rising in businesses of almost all scales.
2022 data from OMDIA showed that, of the 228 surveyed companies who operate their own data centers, 99% plan to include prefabricated modular data centers in their future strategy. 93% of this same group plan to make PMDCs their default construction strategy in the future.
Bust the myths of PMDCs to consider the benefits of a containerized data center for your infrastructure.
