Key Considerations for your Modular Data Centre Procurement Contract

Digital infrastructure demand paced by a rapid increase in AI computing and expectations for more in the coming years have spurred interest in modular data centers (“MDCs”). Designing and constructing a traditional data center can take years, require substantial engagement with local trades (plumbers and electricians), and require expensive retrofitting as newer AI chips demand greater power and cooling capacity. MDCs offer advantages in deployment speed, scalability, and operational flexibility. However, they still require a significant capital investment and are not yet “set it and forget it.”
