Modular Data Centers
Design, Deployment, and Other Considerations
Within the data center (DC) construction market, analysts have recently described a category called Modular data centers (MDCs). In 2012, this type of build represented less than 5% of the total market, but it has been projected to almost double every year for the next several years. This chapter describes MDC definition, design, and deployments, along with other consideration of similarities and differences with more traditional data centers. A critical understanding of the definition of a MDC is that it can have no compromises with respect to a standard data center. While the future market likely has multiple premanufactured choices for building out full or partial MDC designs, the chapter defines common features of many of the designs to assist in evaluating the elements that need to be considered for any one particular set of choices.
