Red Cloud demonstrates value of modular data centers with Australian expansion

Simplified connectivity
Data Center Dynamics noted that one of the reasons that Red Cloud chose a modular data center approach is the desire to create a technology-neutral data center. Agnostic modular data centers are capable circumventing format wars, connecting as easily to rival power distribution and cooling methods. Near-universal connectivity also makes it easy for companies to integrate new modular equipment with legacy gear. A long-distance employee utilizing a remote console server, for instance, would be able to access information from the modular data center as easily as a traditional facility.

Accessible upfront costs
Modular data centers are designed to be assembled step by step, as opposed to investing in new cooling and storage infrastructure each time the company is forced to meet greater capacity needs. This approach is more efficient than retrofitting the data center in stages. A modular strategy eliminates the energy waste created by the data center's unused capacity. This strategy is also far cheaper than investing in an entire data center facility from the get go.
