“Rising Integration of Modular and Prefabricated Data Center Designs”
- Modular construction enables quicker project completion, which is crucial for meeting the rising demand for real-time digital services
- For instance, ST Telemedia Global Data Centres adopted modular builds to speed up deployment in South Korea
- Prefabricated components reduce on-site labor and errors, supporting consistent quality in large-scale data centers, especially in high-tech urban areas where skilled labor is limited
- For instance, Huawei and Equinix are actively investing in modular infrastructure to expand their regional footprint, with Huawei's prefabricated data halls gaining traction in markets such as Malaysia
- The approach supports flexible capacity expansion for cloud providers in markets such as Singapore and India, helping them address surges in demand with minimal service disruption
- It also aligns with sustainability goals by improving energy efficiency and reducing construction waste, which is increasingly important for companies aiming to meet environmental standards and carbon neutrality targets
