Micro Data Centers

Why consider micro data centers

Micro data centers are compact, self-contained facilities that bring computing capacity close to where it is needed. For organizations that cannot wait years for a traditional build, micro data centers offer a faster route to running their own infrastructure.

Our micro data centers are delivered through our partner SovereignOne, who works with each customer to develop a customized data solution. Their team treats your data like their own.

What to look for in micro data centers

When you compare micro data centers, these points matter most:

• A turnkey solution, so you are not coordinating many separate vendors.
• Cooling technology that helps reduce running costs.
• Rapid deployment, measured in months instead of years.
• International experience if your micro data centers will serve more than one country.

The U.S. Department of Energy publishes general guidance on data center and server energy efficiency, which is a useful background read before you plan micro data centers.

Questions to ask before you commit

A compact data facility is a serious investment, so it helps to have your questions ready before the first call. Think about the workloads you plan to run, how much capacity you need on day one and how you expect to grow.

Consider where the site will sit and what the surrounding power and network options look like. Your expert can walk through these points with you and explain how a turnkey approach reduces the number of moving parts.

Ask how cooling choices affect running costs over time. Cooling is one of the largest ongoing expenses for any facility that runs servers around the clock, which is why the cooling technology on this page is worth a closer look.

Finally, think about people and process. Decide who will own the project on your side, who needs access to the data and how you want to handle support once the site is live. Clear answers early keep timelines short.

Our partner SovereignOne works with every customer to develop a customized data solution, and treats customer data like their own. Bring your questions, your timeline and your goals, and the conversation will start from there.
