Modular Data Center vs. Traditional: When To Choose Each
Search Data Center, Monday, November 20,2023
Organizations have two options for using a data center: modular or traditional. Before deciding, companies should know how much power and cost can come from each option.
Advances in AI, IoT and high-performance computing drive the need for additional data center help. With these advances, customers and facility owners need a way to bring more capacity and power density to their data sources.
There are two types of data centers: modular data centers (MDCs) and traditional data centers (TDCs). MDCs are economical, fast and energy-efficient ways to deploy a data center wherever it's needed. TDCs are large, immobile buildings that can withstand excessive use and power. For some customers, an MDC is the best choice as it is mobile. For companies that need a lot of power to run multiple servers, a TDC is the way to go. Here's an overview of how to decide which is best for you.
