The main modular concept was mobility. Faced with economic down-turn and credit crunches, business took to modular approaches as a way to get funding approved in smaller amounts and mitigate the implied risk of building a data center.
Two of the biggest reasons typically listed for the problem with data centers are capital and speed of deployment.
The traditional brick and mortar data center takes a lot of money and time to build. Furthermore, the quick evolution of supporting technologies further entices organizations to work with fast and scalable modular designs.
Outside of those two primary drivers there are many benefits and reasons listed for why a modular data center approach is selected.
A modular solution takes the best ideas for design, reliability and efficiency and packages everything into a prefabricated, repeatable and operationally optimized module. This translates to a truly agile data center environment which is capable of scale. As the organization moves to adopt more cloud-based distributed technologies — a modular architecture can be there to im################y support additional workload and business demands.
