When it comes to designing, building, and operating mission critical data centers, simple is better. Prefabricated data center building blocks comprised of Power, Cooling and/or IT White Space can be connected to provide a semi or fully prefabricated data center solution. Prefabricated data center solutions provide multiple advantages to include predictable performance, faster deployment and, flexibility and scalability versus traditional build data centers. This presentation will show you how a pre-fabricated modular data center architecture can dramatically simplify your design and build process and lower your total cost of operation.

5. The industry has many players and approaches to
Prefabricated Data Centers…

6. Promises from the industry
Lower Cost
Faster and
Easier
Standardized
Why hasn’t this worked?
Schneider Electric 6

7. Customers are not convinced of the benefits:
● Initial product introductions were just proof-of-concepts
● Early prefabricated ISO container solutions were too
restrictive
● Initial prefabricated cost advantage claims were
exaggerated
● Unique data center requirements are not aligned
with the standardized offer from many vendors
When the industry provides the right pieces at the right
cost then prefabrication will get momentum.

8. 5 criteria to success for prefabricated data centers…
Multiple building block types and capacities
Engineered reference designs
Global capabilities
Vendor support – Assess, Plan, Design, Build, Operate
Integrated DCIM software into building blocks

16. Prefab solutions require assistance
Assessment Services
• for existing or planned facilities or sites to
understand viability of using prefabrication
Planning Services
• to demonstrate where prefabrication
could benefit performance, cost or timing
Design and Build Services
• Reference design starting points
• Data centers with all prefabricated modules
• Hybrid data center with mix of prefabricated modules and
traditional
• Project management including installation management, site
coordination, and construction coordination

19. Prefabricated Data Centers provide many
advantages . . .
Predictable
Performance
• The density, availability
and efficiency you
expected
• The cost you were
promised
• Less “hands” involved,
less changes to design
Faster
Deployment
• Shorten planning cycle
and reduce complexity
• Simplify design and build
process
• Delivery in 12-16 weeks or
less (upon sign-off and
receipt of final drawings)
. . . vs. traditional data centers
Flexibility and
Scalability
• Defer capital expenses and
minimize over sizing.
• Adjust quickly changes in
demand, up or down.
• Deploy in various
configurations of density
and availability

22. Prefabricated data centers will come of age when…
1. When suppliers offer tools and services to support decision making
for prefabrication vs. traditional build
2. When building blocks of various ratings, technologies, and form
factors are available at competitive price points
3. When suppliers are able to deliver an entire solution:
assess, plan, design, build and operate a prefabricated data center
