Modular Data Center

A modular data center system is a portable method of deploying data center capacity. A modular data center can be placed anywhere data capacity is needed.

Modular data centers typically come in two types of form factors;

• Containerized data centers
• Customized as required for the facility

Containerized data centers

Containerized data centers or portable modular data centers, fits data center equipment (servers, storage and networking equipment) into a standard shipping container, which is then transported to a desired location. Containerized data centers typically come outfitted with their own cooling systems. Cisco makes an example of this type of data center, called the Cisco Containerized Data Center.

Customized as required for the facility

Customized modular data center fits data center equipment into a facility composed of prefabricated components that can be quickly built on a site and added to as capacity is needed.

Huawei FusionModule2000 Smart Modular Data Center

Huawei FusionModule2000 is a next generation, smart modular data center — awarded the world's first "Uptime Tier IV Ready" certification — integrating power, cooling, rack and cabling, and management systems.

With a wide range of applications, the structure can be either single- or dual-row, with support for hot or cold aisle containment. In addition, with Artificial Intelligence (AI) built in, data center reliability, availability, and efficiency are all significantly improved, through the use of Huawei’s iPower, iCooling, and iManager systems.

Single modules can be applied to small- and medium-sized data centers, while multiple modules can be used to construct a large data center that meets the requirements of large sectors such as government, finance, and more.
