The industry has many players and approaches to Prefabricated Data Centers…
Schneider Electric 6
Promises from the industry
Lower CostFaster and
Easier
Standardized
Why hasn’t this worked?
Schneider Electric 7
Customers are not convinced of the benefits:
When the industry provides the right pieces at the right cost then prefabrication will get momentum.
●Initial product introductions were just proof-of-concepts
●Early prefabricated ISO container solutions were too restrictive
●Initial prefabricated cost advantage claims were exaggerated
●Unique data center requirements are not aligned with the standardized offer from many vendors
Schneider Electric 8
5 criteria to success for prefabricated data centers…
Multiple building block types and capacities
Engineered reference designs
Global capabilities
Vendor support – Assess, Plan, Design, Build, Operate
Integrated DCIM software into building blocks
Schneider Electric 9
The range of applications demands different types of modules and form factors

Assessment Services • for existing or planned facilities or sites to
understand viability of using prefabrication
Planning Services • to demonstrate where prefabrication
could benefit performance, cost or timing
Design and Build Services • Reference design starting points
• Data centers with all prefabricated modules • Hybrid data center with mix of prefabricated modules and
traditional
• Project management including installation management, site coordination, and construction coordination
Prefab solutions require assistance
Schneider Electric 17
All prefab should be smart ‘out of box’Fully instrumented and programmed in each building block

Summary
Schneider Electric 19
Prefabricated Data Centers provide many advantages . . .
. . . vs. traditional data centers
Predictable Performance
• The density, availability
and efficiency you
expected
• The cost you were
promised
• Less “hands” involved,
less changes to design
Faster Deployment
• Shorten planning cycle
and reduce complexity
• Simplify design and build
process
• Delivery in 12-16 weeks
or less (upon sign-off and
receipt of final drawings)
Flexibility and Scalability
• Defer capital expenses
and minimize over sizing.
• Adjust quickly changes in
demand, up or down.
• Deploy in various
configurations of density
and availability

Prefabrication, Reference Designs and integrated DCIM software simplify the data center life cycle…
Reference Designs simplify and shorten the Plan and Design phases of a data
center design/build cycle
Design and Build cycles are simplified with Prefabricated modular
building blocks
Operations are simplified with fully
instrumented Prefabricated
modular data centers
Schneider Electric 21
Prefabricated subsystems facilitate modular and scalable build-outs, preserve capital and improve energy efficiency…

Prefabricated data centers will come of age when…
1. When suppliers offer tools and services to support decision making for prefabrication vs. traditional build
2. When building blocks of various ratings, technologies, and form factors are available at competitive price points
3. When suppliers are able to deliver an entire solution: assess, plan, design, build and operate a prefabricated data center
