This white paper identifies two key cost drivers that influence the comparison — space costs and average power density. The greater the brick and mortar shell cost, and the higher the average density requirement, the more likely it is that the prefabricated approach offers financial benefits. On the contrary, if you had a building with existing vacant space, the cost analysis would clearly favour the traditional approach.
Download this white paper as it focuses on quantifying the capital cost differences of a prefabricated versus traditional 440 kW data centre, both built with the same power and cooling architecture, in order to highlight the key cost drivers, and to demonstrate that prefabrication does not come at a capex premium.
