While data center managers (DCM) certainly see the differing options for modular data centers as providing a means of faster deployment and space maximization at a lower cost, those attributes can come at a price all their own. Since these data center modules are typically removable, consideration needs to be given to installation and removal logistics. These logistics may include access for cranes, trucks, forklifts in many cases while data center lifts are often a part of every installation. This is particularly true where necessary free space and enough turning radius to bring a module in or take it out is a prime consideration.
Les DCM peuvent avoir un certain nombre d'outils DCIM pour les aider à faire face à ces changements afin d'assurer une efficacité optimale de l'espace avec le placement des modules. Cela signifie prendre en compte la logistique des couloirs d'accès aux services entre les modules, si nécessaire, mais aussi la meilleure disposition des modules d'infrastructure par rapport à ceux qui ne portent que la charge utile.
Deployment speed is always a concern, but it cannot come at the cost of the resiliency and operational efficiency of the overall data center design. Keeping up with the pace of these types of deployments can require highly flexible server-handling devices that can meet the space limitations while also providing the stable weight lifting capacity that are needed in the deployment and outfitting of modular data centers.
For many DCMs modular data center designs are part of an expanding data center where multitenant needs are constantly in flux. That means that data center lift solutions must be able to accommodate a wide range of options beyond just weight, stability, lifting capacity, and streamlined footprint. Server equipment setup solutions like server-handling devices must have the ability to provide the tight turning radius and the lateral shelf movement to accommodate all modular and traditional data center configurations.
