Sonic Edge SuperMax Modular Data Centre
Tier-3 Prefabricated Modular Data Centre
Sonic Edge SuperMax is a Tier-3 level prefabricated Modular Data Centre that can go from design to fully commissioned in around six months.
Edge Computing moves the data points from where it is created, stored and processed closer together, removing reliance on centralised Cloud locations. Doing so reduces latency, increases processing power, improves performance and bandwidth all of which delivers better user experience and reduced costs.
If a facility has no internal space for a dedicated Data Centre or Computer Room or needs to build another Data Centre rapidly, deploying a prefabricated Modular Data Centre is a real alternative.
Sonic Edge SuperMax
SuperMax Modular Data Centres enable the design, construction and commissioning of a Tier-3 level Data Centre in a fraction of the time usually required when compared to traditional build methods. This allows customers to accelerate their Data Centre build projects in most cases by up to 50%.
Modular Data Centre
The modular design of SuperMax Modular Data Centre provides greater flexibility and allows it to be designed to fit the construction site. SuperMax can be designed and built to any shape, size or configuration including multi-storey options.
SuperMax has a lifespan of 30+ years and is a cost-effective solution for businesses looking to expand existing infrastructure or new-build Edge deployment.
With configuration starting from 20 racks solutions can be built up to 100+ racks.
Using chilled water or immersive cooling technology it is possible to be able to achieve PUE in the region of 1.15.
Once installed and operational Maintenance Management Services are available with a 24/7/365 emergency call-out facility.
