It is the thing of the past when data center construction seemed straightforward. But today with innovations coming in the designs and the construction process, the entire outlook changed. Today, most data center architects prefer to use the modular approach for building the center and it has proven to be highly beneficial too. However, the modular approach has certain steps to it and here are they listed:
Planning
- This phase involves considering the end-users too. The plan is created by working backwards from the goals they have and try eliminating all the underlying problems.
- The designs are made pretty much flexible and this allows building prefabricated data centers. With these designs in mind, any space can be utilized for building these centers which can be scaled in the future to meet the storage and capacity needs.
Timetable
- This might be the best build-up feature that modular data centers have. They arrive at your property with ready to energize features that have all the engineering, construction, and testing performed off-site.
- As the construction has been done off-site, there is less amount of time wasted and less risk in erecting the center up. There are also nominal chances of having wasted hours.
- The modular approach indicates that all of these activities are done in parallel instead of sequential. The architects do not wait for approval as these designs are already pre-approved. There is lesser time wasted in building the permits and site preparations. This accounts for saving as much as 30% of the timeline from traditional construction methods.
Price
- Modular construction is the best-proven method to litigate the cost barriers. There are almost no chances of secondary expenses of generators, waste and others, that are predominant in traditional construction.
- The modular also save on the cost by eliminating chances of stranded capacities and overbuilding. This is how time is accelerated to revenue.
- Modular solutions primarily have smaller operational footprints. This makes them highly energy-efficient and requires lesser cooling power.
Quality
- This construction focuses on improving quality that helps in faster installation. The production time is cut by 30 per cent.
- The projects are pre-tested and pre-commissioned to ensure desired performance.
Construction
- There is no waiting time for site preparation.
- The final assembly and installation are carried out after complete power and IT cabling.
- No requirement for manual cable installation.
The modular approach of Stendel Reich data center architecture projects has made them preferred choice among all prevalent industries today.
