Key benefits of modular systems

In an era of accelerated digital transformation, modular data center designs are emerging as a cornerstone for operators, consultants and contractors. Prefabricated modular systems address today’s pressing construction and operational challenges head-on.

efficiencies through standardization
With standardized modular enclosures, skids and rack-based systems, modular designs enable data centers to be deployed faster than traditional builds. The use of prefabricated components minimizes on-site construction time and reduces the risk of delays due to weather or other site-specific issues.
Modular data center systems are factory-built, pre-commissioned and factory-tested. This ensures stringent quality control, minimizes installation risks and enhances predictability compared to traditional on-site installation methods.
Pre-engineered systems drive cost savings, with repeatable bills of materials (BOMs) to simplify supply chain management. Through the use of standardized modular systems, we can help ensure consistent quality and reduce variability, which leads to more predictable project outcomes.

Addressing the labor shortage
with prefabricated modular systems
Sustainability is a key consideration in modern modular designs. By incorporating energy-efficient cooling systems, optimized power usage and eco-friendly building materials, modular data centers reduce their environmental footprint while maintaining peak performance. Modular systems can integrate renewable energy sources, such as solar panels, to further minimize their carbon footprint. Moreover, streamlined processes reduce waste during construction and operation.
Traditional construction methods often result in project delays, cost overruns and quality issues. Through controlled factory environments, pre-fabrication and pre-commissioning, weather-proof containerized modules help maintain consistent quality standards and significantly reduce delays during construction, while also preventing contamination and environmental damage. 
With much of the work completed in a controlled factory environment, modular systems reduce reliance on scarce on-site skilled labor, improving safety and minimizing construction site risks.
