Smart modular data centres

Digitisation is progressing at a rapid pace – and posing enormous challenges for businesses. With automation, robotics, 5G, the increase of intelligent devices (IoT) and especially the sudden expansion of artificial intelligence (AI), more and more data are having to be analysed, processed and handled. Having enough computing power – anywhere and at any time – has become a central prerequisite for business development. Powerful access nodes, right at the edge of the network, are important and must nowadays meet the maximum requirements for speed, short latency times, reliability and security.

With its Smart Modular Data Centres (SMDC) Datwyler offers innovative, scalable and future-proof IT infrastructure solutions, which have been developed especially for edge computing applications. These pre-configured plug-and-play solutions enable companies to process their data efficiently and securely directly at the point of origin – or at least close to the source. From collecting and analysing production data to hosting local AI applications: The SMDC solutions from Datwyler provide a versatile way of covering all modern requirements.

Real-time data processing at the edge
The key advantage of an SMDC is its short latency times: Data are processed in near to real time thus guaranteeing fast reactions and optimum performance. At the same time, the operation of the data centre remains independent of the network, enabling local aggregation and storage of critical data. This increases reliability and reduces the risk of data loss.

Every Datwyler SMDC is a complete data centre solution that has been tailored to meet the user’s exact requirements – fully integrated and from a single provider. It includes a flexible rack configuration – from a single rack, through multi-rack, to multi-module solutions – with integrated power distribution, an uninterruptible power supply, an efficient cooling system, fire extinguishing system, blanking panels and sealing strip as well as a DCIM system.

The entire infrastructure can be installed and commissioned within a few hours. Thanks to its modular design, every system has the flexibility to adapt to growing demands (“pay as you grow”).

Energy efficiency
An important aspect of the SMDCs is their energy efficiency. The Datwyler solutions are setting new standards with a power usage effectiveness (PUE) value as low as 1.3. This low PUE value is achieved thanks to a highly efficient cooling system, optimised airflow and intelligent energy distribution. This reduces not only the energy consumption but also the CO₂ footprint, thus contributing to a sustainable IT strategy.

The focus is always on security: Integrated access control with card and keypad input, intelligent PDUs for energy management and real-time status monitoring ensure reliable, secure operation.

In short: Datwyler’s Smart Modular Data Centre is an ideal solution for companies who, in an increasingly digital world, need powerful, scalable and reliable IT infrastructures. With the SMDC you are opting for a future-proof solution that will provide you with maximum flexibility and reliability.
