Containerized data centers are modular structures designed to accommodate all the necessary components of a conventional data center, such as servers, cooling systems, power sources, among others. These structures can be easily transported and installed in any location, providing several advantages for companies that choose this type of infrastructure. Below, we present seven reasons to consider using a containerized data center:
Agility in implementation
The assembly of a traditional data center can take months or even longer to complete. With a containerized data center, it is possible to expedite this process and significantly reduce the time required to put the data center into operation. The modular structure comes pre-prepared, eliminating the need for complex construction and installation of infrastructure.
Scalability
Containerized data centers are designed to allow for easy scalability. If a company needs more processing or storage capacity, it is possible to quickly and simply add new modules. This flexibility facilitates business growth and avoids unnecessary investments in infrastructure that may become obsolete in the future.
Location flexibility
Unlike conventional data centers that require specific infrastructure and dedicated space, containerized data centers can be installed in any location, including remote or hard-to-reach areas. This is especially advantageous for companies that need to implement data centers in temporary locations.
Space savings
This type of infrastructure is designed to optimize the space used, ensuring better utilization of available areas. This allows companies to use physical space more efficiently and save costs related to property acquisition.
Reduced operational costs
Containers have highly efficient cooling and power systems, resulting in energy savings and reduced operational costs over time. Additionally, they are designed to facilitate maintenance and management, reducing technical support and maintenance costs.
Security
Containerized data centers are built with robust materials and offer an extra layer of security for the equipment and stored data. Additionally, they are designed to withstand natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods, ensuring data integrity even in the most adverse situations.
Portability
If a location change is necessary, containerized data centers can be easily transported to a new location without the need to dismantle the entire structure and restart the assembly process. This offers flexibility for companies that need to adapt to new realities or relocate their data centers according to business needs.
ModSecur IT Container engineered by Maxiglobal
The ModSecur IT Container is an outdoor data center infrastructure that is completely self-contained and transportable, thanks to its format and construction characteristics. It is a custom-made solution with a format and supports that allow for easy transportation. The structure integrates external cooling units and a generator, ensuring autonomy for the infrastructure even in the absence of electrical power.
Designed and manufactured entirely in Portugal, its modular construction ensures scalability and redundancy up to Tier 4. The construction characteristics, such as double walls with thermal, acoustic, and fire insulation, combined with high-efficiency equipment, make this product highly efficient with PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) indexes below 1.5.
