Advantages of Micro-Modular Data Centers

IT Challenges Today

Current Data Center Practices Out Dated Large up front cost before day one of production IT demand moves faster than construction Inability to charge properly for IT as a service

OPEX 2 out of 3 watts wasted on cooling Maintenance on under utilized infrastructure Cooling Infrastructure driving total electricity usage out of proportion Cost for electricity and services goes up every year

Limited Cooling / Electrical Capacity Inflexible Infrastructure (Once a raised floor always a raised floor) Constant Demand for Expansion Expensive Retrofit for High Density Zone

Factors Causing Current Data Center to waste 2 of 3 Watts purchased

•Distance of CRAC (Computer Room Air Conditioner) from heat load•Air Bypass allows hot air from servers to be drawn through CRAC before cooling heat load or drawn through equipment repeatedly creating hotspots

Fundamental Problems with Traditional Data Centers

•Produce 2-3% Worldwide Pollution (170 MT CO²) for Coal Burning Power Plants Supporting Data Center Electrical Consumption (40x other building types) (Mckinsey Group)

•Over the Next Five Years Power Failures and Limits on Power Availability will Halt Data Center Operations at More than 90% of All Companies. (AFCOM 2006)

Mckinsey Group

“since power and infrastructure costs continue to rise while the cost of servers measured in work done per $ continues to fall, it actually is correct to say that the fully burdened cost of power does, or soon will, dominate all other data center costs. (James Hamilton Chief Architect Microsoft 2008)

Current Trends Indicate Power Demand from Data Centers will Require 14 New Power Plants to be Built by 2012 (Department of Energy)

Efficiency=Green

Industry Direction Change

Modular/Containerized Data Centers • Benefits over Traditional Data Centers Include:

– CAPEX savings of 35-50% – OPEX savings of 20-30%– Time to Deploy from years to 6-8 months

Negatives– Still has large price tag prior to operation

Micro-Modular Data Centers• Benefits over Container Data Centers Include:

– CAPEX Additional savings of 40-50% – OPEX Additional savings of 30-35%– Significant Flexibility– Time to Deploy to 2 months

They have all of the characteristics of a Data Center Building. They are designed specifically to support High Density IT equipment.

When TCO is viewed from the point of view of the useful work performed, the singlelargest cost driver of TCO for data center and network room physical infrastructure is the unabsorbed overhead cost of underutilized infrastructure. The highest return investment that the average data center operator or specifier can make in relation to physical infrastructure is in scalability.

Problems Solved with Micro-Modular

• Up To 50% $ Savings on Electricity•Patented zero bypass cooling system•50-80% More efficient = Green

• Up To 75% Floor Area Savings•25 ft² for EMS enclosures vs. 100 ft² traditional raised floor

• Fire Resistant and Water Resistant•Air Tight Closed Loop System

• Scalable from 1 Micro Data Center to 100’s; “Pay as You Need”•Purchase cooling, security, fire suppression as needed

The Solution is Clear MICRO MODULAR

• Save Money– Eliminate costly infrastructure with a self-contained, high-density, cost-

effective data center.– Reduce the costs to plan, build and implement your data center– Reduce overall operating expenses

• Save Energy– Closed loop cooling dramatically cuts cooling and electrical costs – Significantly reduce data center’s harmful carbon footprint

• Save Time– Micro-Modular Data Centers can be built, fully populated and delivered in

weeks vs. months or years– Have a fully functional data center when, where and for however long you

need it

• Save Space– Reduce your data center footprint by up to 70 percent– EMS products can be located in a warehouse, garage, office or closet
