Common uses of these systems include:
A prime use case is when Africa Data Centers wanted to increase the capacity of its data center in Johannesburg. The expansion had to form part of a legacy building which had limited available space, resulting in the development of a bespoke version of Eaton’s xModular configurable system, tailored to meet their requirements.
Their compact design and availability in standard ISO footprints enable fast transport and easy on-site installation, even in hard-to-reach locations.
Common configurations of modular data center enclosures:
A self-contained unit that provides electrical infrastructure, including uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), power distribution units (PDUs), generators, and switchgear.
Houses the computing, storage, and networking equipment. It typically includes racks, cooling systems, cabling, and security features.
Integrates power, cooling, and IT infrastructure into a single, self contained enclosure. It’s an all-in-one data center.
Whether you need edge computing in remote locations or scalable data capacity in metro areas—our modular systems are ready to adapt. Try our selection tool to find the right fit for your needs.
