14. Progression from Traditional to Modular Data Center
Traditional Data Center Modular Data Center
Key characteristics -
Efficiency varies (PUE = 1.3 – 2.0) Optimal Efficiency (PUE as low as 1.03)
Expensive , all up front Lower upfront investment; “pay-as-you-grow”
Power & Cooling exactly designed around IT
Designed for lowest common denominator
workload
1 to 2 year project timeframe < 6 month lead-time
Accommodates variety of IT, but facilities Flexible – modules “snap” together to build variety of
updates happen slowly solutions, even under same roof
