* New TradeOff Tool allows users to determine whether a prefabricated facility is the best solution for deploying additional data centre capacity
* Speed of deployment, agility and cost competitiveness are key factors in decision making
* The tool delivers high-level cost assessments and enables the different approaches to be modeled and tested
Schneider Electric, the leader in digital transformation of energy management and automation, has introduced a Prefabricated vs Traditional Data Center Cost Calculator, providing users with a cost analysis for considering the best approach to deploying new IT infrastructure capacity and delivering key insights into procurement decisions.
The digital TradeOff Tool, designed by Schneider Electric's Data Centre Science Centre, allows decision makers to investigate whether a prefabricated, or traditional approach to deploying new data centre infrastructure is the most appropriate, based on both the IT requirements and demands of the business. Users can also examine the effects of a combined approach, utilising prefabricated modules for only one, or some of the elements.
Rapid deployment, flexibility and scalability
Today's speed of business demands data centre infrastructure which can meet the need for rapid deployment, flexibility and scalability. Although not new, prefabricated data centres are a disruptive technology, transforming the way customers design and build data centres. By removing time and cost from facility construction and upgrades, prefab enables the industry to address the unpredictable nature of growth and technological advance through predictable data centre performance.
Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure Ready(TM) Prefabricated Data Centres offer significant advantages over traditional builds. They comprise pre-engineered, pre-assembled and pre-tested physical infrastructure systems, delivered as standardised modules direct to the customer site in as little as 12 weeks.
The choice of prefab can encompass one or all of the key data centre functions including IT racks, cooling, uninterruptible power supplies, distribution and switchgear. In many cases the sizes range from small single rack-sized edge computing solutions, to data hall-sized prefabricated...
