Modular Data Centres

Workspace Technology’s Modular Data Centre Solutions delivers a modular approach to data centre design and eliminates the need for traditional “bricks and mortar” buildings. A Modular Data Centre architecture will help clients significantly reduce the time to deploy and helps control and reduce overall capitol expenditure without compromise.

A Modular Data Centre solution can be deployed within and existing campus, open space or within warehousing style buildings.

Workspace Technology has developed its successful Mobile Data Centre “MDC” containerized solution originally lunched in 2008 to create the fundamental building block for large scale “modular” data centre deployments.

Workspace Technology’s Modular Data Centre architecture allows MDC pods to pre-engineered, tested and commissioned prior to delivery and commissioning on site.

Containerized data centre solutions offered by a number of global I.T players including Sun and HP, are based on standard 2.4m width containers. The narrow width of these containerized data centre’s means that front and rear rack access is restrictive and awkward.

Workspace Technology’s Modular Data Centre platform can be built with widths starting from 3.5m, providing excellent access for single aisle rack deployments. The Modular Data Centre system is designed specifically to support a range of low, medium and high density rack applications. Typical Modular Data Centre pods can support 10 to 12 racks with densities of 5Kw to 25Kw.

Workspace Technology offers a number of cooling technology options including rear rack and evaporative free air cooling. The deployment of the FreeCool evaporative cooling solution reduces installation cost and helps to reduce power emissions. When combined with evaporative free cooling, Workspace Technology’s Modular Data Centre pods can deliver Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) ratings of 1.2 to 1.1. Significantly exceeding current industry average expectations of 2.6.

The Modular Data Centre can be built to either Tier 2 or Tier 3 data centre design standards, depending on client specification and availability requirements.

Workspace Technology’s Modular Data Centre solution creates a true “pay as you grow” model for large data centre infrastructures. The Modular Data Centre helps global companies manage data centre infrastructure costs inline with the growth its compute real-estate.

The Modular Data Centre MDC solution is a truly scalable solution which enables both SME and Large Corporate clients to benefit from its design advantages.
