Siemens has launched a new prefabricated data center module offering.

Siemens Smart Infrastructure, Cadolto Datacenter, and Legrand Data Center Solutions announced this week that they are jointly unveiling a new turnkey modular Edge data center.

The companies are offering customizable, prefabricated modules that can be tailored to unique operational needs and deployed in a fraction of the time – with planning cycles from six to 12 months. The prefab modules are said to be suitable for both permanent operation and interim use.

Siemens will integrate its full suite of Smart Infrastructure technologies – from medium- and low-voltage power distribution, to building automation, fire safety, and physical security systems. Optional maintenance contracts and connection to a 24/7 emergency and service control center complete the solution.

Siemens Financial Services will provide flexible financing and rental models, allowing businesses to scale up infrastructure without upfront capital investment.

Cadolto Datacenter will act as the manufacturer and general contractor of the modular Edge data center, delivering the prefabricated modular building with integrated climate control.

Legrand will bring white space infrastructure, including racks and structured cabling as well as Power Distribution Units (PDUs) and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems.

“With digital transformation accelerating across every industry, our customers need infrastructure that moves as fast as they do,” said Ciaran Flanagan, global head of data center solutions & services at Siemens AG. “This solution offers all the performance of a traditional data center, but with the agility to scale quickly, tailored to our customers’ specific needs. When ramping up capacity, it’s just a case of plugging it in.”

Cadolto Datacenter was formed in 2016 by German modular construction firm Cadolto GmbH.
