Rapid deployment -- modular data centers can be deployed very quickly, usually in a matter of weeks;By contrast, building a traditional data center usually takes months or even years.
Low cost - low cost building materials and construction methods reduce costs for users using container data centers and prefabricated units.In some countries or regions, buyers can also enjoy tax and regulatory benefits.Hybrid customers (who use container data centers in traditional data centers) share data center space with other data centers, thus saving money.
Easy to deploy - container data centers and prefabricated units can be deployed at any location specified by the purchaser.
Easy to expand -- more space can be added if needed, in the form of additional container data centers, prefabricated units, or floor areas.
Disadvantages:
Poor durability - it is unclear to what extent container data centers and prefabricated modular data centers can stand the test of time and weather.
Service availability is low - it is difficult and costly to provide water, electricity and network resources to container data centers and prefabricated units located in remote areas.
Lack of workspace - most modular data centers, especially container data centers, are designed to accommodate equipment, not people.
Vendor lock-in - many modular data center products require only vendor specific hardware or solutions.
Poor security - isolated container data centers or prefabricated units are more likely to be broken into or destroyed than normal buildings.
Optimized cooling system;Improve the use of heat channels;Capacity to add new server applications;And extended the service life of the container.This means that the value of the modular data center location has changed from the start, improve the function, efficiency and reliability at the same time reduces the cost, shorten the period and reduce the complexity and difficulty of the construction.
Traditional data centers in the construction of infrastructure and hardware equipment deployment process due to the cost, construction difficulty and operational management difficulty, and many other elements, it has promoted the rapid development of the modular data center from the side, although the industry for modular data center still have doubts, but we are from many enterprise manufacturers at home and abroad in recent years it is not hard to see among technology, product development, the future of modular data center will be a period of rapid growth.
Container data center is best known for putting servers, storage and network equipment into containers. This is the container data center.The concept of the container data center originated from SUN's "black box plan" in October 2006. Although SUN was later acquired, these advanced design concepts were carried forward.Followed by a server industry had the eldest brother, followed by IBM in 2008 also launched its container data center products, the HP, Google, cisco, Microsoft, SGI giant also have launched their own container data center products, heat up time container data center.
Micro module data centers is the number of cabinet as a whole, foreign called IT/Server module, domestic call IT micro module, decomposition to Server/network facilities and infrastructure but through certain logical precision coupling becomes a common carrier module, data center on computing or storage resources can be independent of the complete data center.The micro module can effectively solve the air conditioning and refrigeration problem of high-density frame, and the maximum power consumption of single frame can reach more than 15KW.Micro module data center adopts the modular components and uniform interface standard for data center of fast, flexible deployment, and later expanded, this not only can greatly reduce construction cost, but also can shorten the construction of data center and deployment cycle, enhance the mobility and flexibility of data center deployment.Micro module data center with advanced refrigeration technology, power supply technology and other advanced technology, improving both inside the data center equipment running efficiency, and improve the efficiency of energy use, reduce the waste of energy, has greatly promoted the green data center.
For scale, the warehouse data center is just between container data center and micro module data center, usually 1 ~ 2 layer structure, internal with micro module form or container, short construction period, usually for 12 to 18 months.The micromodules of the warehouse data center are preset by the manufacturer, and the components of each module are shipped to the site for assembly, and the deployment speed is fast.More space can be added if needed.Storage data centers are often converted into storage data centers by using abandoned factories or buildings.Of course, storage data centers have their limitations, such as poor durability and limited use of vendor specific hardware or solutions.The actual application of warehouse data center is not many, after all, there are not so many waste factories to be used, and more of them are promoted as a medium data center solution.
