The solution is scalable, offering configurations for retrofits or standalone data centers, and supports sustainability goals with improved PUE and lower carbon footprints.
- In February 2024, NTT DATA and Schneider Electric announced their partnership to co-innovate solutions for edge computing, integrating Edge, Private 5G, IoT, and Modular Data Centers. This collaboration aims to address the increasing demand for AI applications at the edge by delivering high-performance, scalable infrastructure. The companies have also deployed a private 5G-enabled EcoStruxure Data Center at Marienpark Berlin, a 30-hectare innovation park.
- In November 2023, Vertiv Group Corp, a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, launched the Vertiv SmartMod Max CW, a modular data center designed to meet the increasing need for swift compute deployment. This flexible and scalable system can handle IT loads of up to 200kW and features chilled water cooling, promoting energy efficiency and minimizing environmental impact.
- In September 2022, Vertiv Group Corp launched prefabricated modular data centers in India, providing flexible, scalable solutions for deploying IT assets quickly and efficiently. These modular data centers incorporate Vertiv Group Corp's critical power and thermal management technologies, including uninterruptible power supply (UPS), thermal management units, and monitoring systems. Designed for ease of deployment and scalability, these solutions aim to meet the growing demand for data centers in India, driven by the government's infrastructure status for data centers and the rise of hybrid work culture.
Market Drivers: Increased IT and 5G-Driven Infrastructure Demand
The prefabricated and modular data centers market has been experiencing significant growth, driven by the surging demand for IT infrastructure and the rapid expansion of 5G networks. With the expansion of data-intensive applications, such as IoT, AI, and cloud services, businesses require flexible and scalable solutions to support their IT infrastructure needs. The deployment of 5G networks further accelerates this demand by enabling faster data transmission, lower latency, and enhanced connectivity. Prefabricated and modular data centers offer a cost-effective and efficient approach to meet these growing demands, allowing organizations to adapt to the dynamic requirements of modern technology ecosystems quickly.
Additionally, companies have been increasingly focusing on developing innovative solutions to meet the rising demand for AI-driven technologies and scalable infrastructure. For instance, in October 2024, Cisco Systems, Inc. unveiled new plug-and-play AI solutions, including the Cisco UCS C885A M8 AI servers and AI PODs, to simplify AI adoption for enterprises. With only 14% of enterprises currently AI-ready, the company's offerings address a critical market need, streamlining deployment and reducing complexity. These advancements align with the growing demand for scalable AI infrastructure, supporting transformative applications such as generative AI.
Market Challenges: Seamless Integration with Existing Infrastructure
One of the key challenges in the growth of the prefabricated and modular data centers market is ensuring seamless integration with existing infrastructure. Many enterprises operate legacy systems with distinct configurations, protocols, and architectures, making aligning modular solutions without extensive customization difficult. This mismatch can result in extended deployment times and added costs, reducing the overall appeal of modular data centers. Additionally, concerns around compatibility and disruptions to operational workflows further exacerbate the reluctance of businesses to adopt these solutions at scale.
Additionally, organizations face significant hurdles in adapting modular data centers to legacy IT systems. For example, industries reliant on older equipment and proprietary systems often struggle to incorporate new modular solutions without costly overhauls or upgrades. Moreover, enterprises operating in heavily regulated sectors, such as healthcare or finance, face stringent compliance requirements that further complicate the integration process. These factors collectively affect the rapid adoption of prefabricated and modular data centers, particularly in regions where traditional infrastructure remains dominant.
Market Opportunities: Opportunities for Solution Providers to Collaborate with Hyperscale Cloud Providers
The growing partnership opportunities between solution providers and hyperscale cloud providers have been driving significant opportunities in the prefabricated and modular data centers market. As hyperscale cloud providers expand their global footprint to meet rising data demands, they increasingly seek scalable, efficient, and quick-to-deploy data center solutions. This collaboration allows solution providers to utilize the cloud providers' vast networks while delivering value-added services that enhance deployment efficiency and operational reliability.
For instance, in January 2024, EQT Infrastructure announced a partnership with EdgeConneX to develop high-powered, purpose-built data centers tailored for global hyperscale customers. This collaboration aims to meet increasing demands for cloud, AI, and critical digital infrastructure by expanding into new markets worldwide. Supported by EQT Infrastructure's industry expertise, EdgeConneX has tripled its capacity and expanded across Asia, Latin America, and Europe since 2020. The initiative plans to deliver hundreds of megawatts of data center capacity to support the growing digital economies and hyperscale customer requirements, reinforcing its role as a leading global provider of sustainable data center solutions.
