CommScope’s new Data Centre on Demand solution provides a flexible, highly efficient, purpose-built alternative to the traditional brick and mortar data centre.

With the unprecedented pace of technological evolution and the continuous need to drive down costs, many organisations are looking to reduce their total cost of ownership and simplify operational management by deploying a pay-as-you-grow data center solution. With numerous available options, Data Centre on Demand offers customers a tailored approach to addressing the needs of today while providing the flexibility to adapt with the business needs of tomorrow.

“Enterprises are dealing with a continual data deluge and have to find ways to expand their capacity quickly and efficiently,” says CommScope senior vice president, Enterprise Solutions, Kevin St Cyr.

“Some are up against the wall when it comes to physical space or available power and Data Centre on Demand gives them a viable solution to expand quickly and easily with industry proven technology.”

Data Centre on Demand features a full range of available data centre options for organisations implementing an initial data centre or adding to an existing facility. The solution offers capabilities and customer benefits including:

• Proven technology based on systems operating in extreme climates for more than six years
• Scalable solutions from one to thousands of racks without disruption
• Proven annual average data centre power usage effectiveness (PUE) as low as 1.03 to 1.06 (industry PUEs typically range from 1.8 to 2.9)
• Standardised repeatable designs that reduce complexity and shorten planning and deployment time
• Customisable configuration, with off-the-shelf components supporting multiple TIER levels, security, fire and core infrastructure
• Pre-integration with CommScope iTRACS data centre infrastructure management (DCIM)
• Integration with CommScope industry leading infrastructure solutions
• All solutions backed by industry leading data centre architects, engineers, and a global partner services program

“This is more than just a traditional modular data center offering,” Kevin says.

“It is not just a shipping container with servers. It is designed specifically with the same usability and ease of access to IT equipment as a traditional data centre, but with lower up front and operating costs.”
