Micro Data Centre

A Micro Data Center (Micro DC) is a condensed version of a traditional data centre that integrates all essential components of a typical data centre. This allows organizations to address the low-latency storage and data processing challenges in a cost-effective way.

Below are the commonly found components in Micro DCs:
• Fire suppression technology
• Physical security measures
• Environmental monitoring
• In-rack/in-container cooling
• Uninterruptable Power Supplies (UPS)
• Power Distribution Units (PDU)
• Networking equipment
• High-performance servers
• Server racks/enclosures

Micro DCs are modular. This allows for components to be easily swapped along the way if there is any requirement change.

MDCs deliver several business benefits including:

Low Latency
Micro DCs can be deployed closer to the application, lowering latency substantially.

Increased Resilience
Multiple failover options become feasible.

Faster Deployment Times
Due to their small size, Micro DCs can be shipped and assembled quickly. This also makes accessing adequate power and space easier, significantly speeding up Micro DC provisioning.

Standardization
By implementing a repeatable and standardized design, OPEX and maintenance costs are reduced.

Scalability
Micro DCs allow businesses to scale up/down based on demand. This allows for a more agile and elastic approach to infrastructure suitable for today’s fast-changing technology.

Reduced Costs
Traditional DCs are very costly. The standardized and modular design of MDCs lower OPEX, while the small footprint can keep CAPEX low.
