Overview

What Are Modular Data Centers?

Modular Data Centers (MDCs) are pre-engineered, factory-built computing environments that can be rapidly deployed, scaled, and relocated as business demands evolve. Unlike traditional data centers that require lengthy civil construction, modular solutions are manufactured off-site and arrive ready for connection.

NLC BMC designs, builds, and commissions modular data center solutions across all scales, from a simple single-rack enclosure for a branch office to a containerized data hall capable of supporting an entire enterprise's computing workload.

Three Configuration Types

We offer three standard configurations, each optimised for a different scale and environment:

Single Rack

Single Rack

Ideal for small offices, remote sites, or telco edge nodes. Plug-and-play deployment with minimal space and power requirements.

Small Business
Multi-Rack

Multi-Rack

For medium to large enterprises requiring an expandable solution. Multiple racks integrated into a single prefabricated module.

Enterprise
Containerized

Containerized

Self-contained data halls in a standard shipping container. Deployable in harsh outdoor environments with minimal civil works.

Critical & Remote

Key Features & Benefits

  • Rapid Deployment: Factory-built and tested modules reduce on-site installation time by up to 70% versus traditional builds.
  • Scalability: Start with what you need today and add modules as capacity requirements grow, no facility downtime required.
  • Integrated Power & Cooling: Each module includes UPS, PDU, cooling, cable management, and fire suppression as a unified system.
  • Energy Efficiency: Optimised airflow management (hot/cold aisle containment) and precision cooling deliver superior PUE ratings.
  • Remote Management: DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure Management) integration allows remote monitoring of power, temperature, and humidity.
  • Security: Biometric and card-access controls, CCTV integration, and tamper-proof enclosures for maximum physical security.

Typical Applications

  • Corporate offices and headquarters requiring on-premise computing
  • Hospitals and healthcare facilities with critical uptime requirements
  • Government ministries and public-sector facilities
  • Industrial plants and manufacturing with remote edge computing needs
  • Telecom providers and ISPs requiring distributed edge nodes
  • Smart city projects and Vision 2030 infrastructure programs

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a Modular Data Center (MDC)?

MDCs are pre-engineered, factory-built computing environments that can be rapidly deployed, scaled, and relocated. Unlike traditional data centers that require lengthy civil construction, modular solutions are manufactured off-site and arrive ready for connection.

What configuration types does NLC BMC offer?

Three standard configurations: Single Rack for small offices, remote sites, or telco edge nodes; Multi-Rack for medium-to-large enterprises needing an expandable solution; and Containerized self-contained data halls for harsh outdoor environments.

How much faster is deployment versus a traditional build?

Factory-built and tested modules reduce on-site installation time by up to 70% versus traditional builds, and you can add modules as capacity grows with no facility downtime.

What is included in each module?

Each module includes UPS, PDU, cooling, cable management, and fire suppression as a unified system, with hot/cold aisle containment and precision cooling for superior PUE ratings.

What monitoring and security features are provided?

DCIM integration allows remote monitoring of power, temperature, and humidity. Security includes biometric and card-access controls, CCTV integration, and tamper-proof enclosures.

How is cooling handled in NLC's modular data centers?

Each module uses hot and cold aisle containment with precision cooling for superior PUE ratings, delivered as part of a unified system alongside UPS, PDU, and fire suppression.

Can a modular data center be expanded after deployment?

Yes. You can add modules as capacity grows with no facility downtime, and configurations range from a single rack to multi-rack and containerized data halls.

Are NLC's modular data centers suitable for harsh outdoor environments?

Yes. The containerized configuration provides self-contained data halls built for harsh outdoor environments, while single-rack and multi-rack options suit offices, remote sites, and enterprises.
