Modular Data Centers: IT Module
Overview
The IT Module is a self-contained solution that enables you to deploy IT equipment incrementally in a just in time manner without building out a complex, costly environment upfront. Designed with flexibility in mind, our IT Module uses outside air as the primary cooling medium, delivering an average PUE of 1.1. Unlike other data center "containers," Lee Technologies' IT Modules are vendor neutral, have been built to serve lower density users at 5-14kW per rack, and can be deployed in 10 weeks or less.
However, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Lee Technologies' design-build expertise allows for easy alterations or customizations to meet specific client needs. Likewise, our modules perform well in many environments - both outdoors or indoors.
