• A Modular Data Center offers unparalleled
  flexibility.
• You can ship your data center anywhere in the
  world for addition, integration, or retrofitting
  into your existing data center footprint.
• You can also combine modular data centers into a
  single system.
• These data centers are characterized by a variety
  of cooling and power options, meaning there will
  be something to match your particular business
  requirements.
• The mobility of a modular data center allows you
  to use it in remote locations or makeshift
  locations.

• To understand the possible motivations behind the
  concept of portable modular data centers, let us
  look at the advantages offered by them.

4
Space Saving

• The data center containers / Modular Data Centers
  pack a high density of compute and storage
  infrastructure in a relatively small amount of
  space.

5
Cooling Efficiency

• A normal data center is big and hence it comes
  with higher cooling requirements.
• Since the modular data center occupies a very
  small space, highly efficient cooling
  technologies (like liquid cooling, Evaporative
  Cooling, etc) can be used with them.
• The reduced cooling requirements of modular data
  centers save a lot of running cost.

6
Maintenance

• Most of the components in modular data centers
  have built in redundancy. 
• These servers might even be replaceable with
  standard rack mount servers (1U/ 2U) if the
  vendor supports them.

7
Cooling and Power Distribution

• Most of the Modular Data Centers have
  self-contained cooling and power distribution
  technologies built-into them right out of the
  factory.

8
Compatibility and Inter-working

• Some modular data centers may even come with
  pre-loaded virtualization / application softwares
  (depending on clients requirements).

9

• A modular solution takes the best ideas for
  design, reliability and efficiency and packages
  everything into a prefabricated, repeatable and
  operationally optimized modular data center
  system.
• This translates to an agile data center
  environment which is capable of scale.
