Vertiv Ranked as One of the Leading Suppliers in Rapidly Growing Modular Data Center Market

March 17, 2021

Research conducted by Omdia reveals that the global market for prefabricated modular data centers, from the edge to the core, increased by more than 65%

Mexico, DF [March 17, 2021] Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, has been ranked by technology analyst firm Omdia as one of the leading suppliers in the prefabricated modular (PFM) data center market with the second highest market share worldwide. The released research has highlighted that benefits such as the ability to scale with confidence are driving significant growth in the adoption of PFM solutions in all geographies.

“Scaling with confidence is a balancing act. If we get it wrong it could mean wasting capacity or, conversely, missing new opportunities due to lack of resources. Reducing risk and increasing trust depends on sage leadership, where agile and flexible technology is also vital,” said Anderson Quirino, sales director, Vertiv Latin America. 

The Omdia report, Prefabricated Modular Data Centers, published in early 2020 and based on 2018 and 2019 data, valued PFM shipments at more than $1.2bn USD in 2018 with growth in deployments set to increase by more than 65% for 2019. The analyst group attributed this strong growth to a number of factors including scalability, the benefits of offsite manufacturing and integration, and speed of deployment.

“Latin America is seeing an increase in adoption of PFM data centers for large hyperscale and colocation use, and Cloud service providers are deploying them to mimic traditional data center buildings, specifically when expanding into new availability zones,” said Martin Olsen, vice president of global edge solutions for Vertiv.

Lucas Beran, principal analyst for Omdia’s cloud and data center research practice and the report’s author, identified speed of deployment as the primary driver for many owners and operators. “The rapid growth of data and insatiable demand for compute is driving the rapid growth of data centers. Given that a traditional data center takes 18 to 24 months to deploy, a quicker solution is often needed,” he said. “On average, suppliers of prefabricated modular data centers can deliver a solution in four to six months.”

“In Latin America, due to the high costs of building and operating traditional data centers, the search for prefabricated data centers has also increased. Prefabricated modular data centers can shorten the time between the building and operation of the new center by up to five months versus traditional construction methods. This improves agility with rapid deployment and speeds up the ROI for this type of project,” added Quirino.

The Omdia report defined a number of different forms of PFM data centers with varying use cases, including IT and facility-specific designs and so-called all-in-one modules (with integrated IT, power, and cooling infrastructure) which are commonly used in education, industrial, and healthcare applications as well as remote and harsh environments. According to Omdia, demand for edge computing is driving uptake of all-in-one modules for edge locations that need a small data center presence close to end users. The ‘plug and play’ approach has the benefit of not only cutting the time for start-up and commissioning to just a few days instead of weeks, or months, but also reducing the potential for quality issues, as components are pre-integrated and pre-tested off-site.

As described in the report, Vertiv’s PFM designs cover a range of different offerings to meet specific customer needs, such as the Vertiv™ SmartMod™ – a fully self-contained, easily-configurable and ready-to-order PFM product range that enables new data center whitespace to be rapidly deployed. Vertiv also provides completely custom PFM solutions, which include design, project management and system integration.

With the aim to help customers get the most from their infrastructure, Vertiv Latin America has just launched a campaign to help data center owners and operators learn how to Scale with Confidence with Vertiv solutions designed for reliability and scalability. The campaign elements highlight the benefits of Prefabricated Data Centers, including integrated intelligence that enhances flexibility and manageability of critical power and thermal management, to monitoring and management and services.
