Inside the i/o ANYWHERE modular data center
(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) – Data center operator i/o Data Centers (www.iodatacenters.com) announced on Thursday that it has opened a 221,000 square foot modular data center factory in Phoenix to manufacture its i/o ANYWHERE data center modules.
According to the press release, the factory’s initial capacity allows for up to 18 MW of data center modules per month. The first i/o ANYWHERE modules are to be rolled out of the factory in the first half of 2011 to satisfy existing orders.
Released in July 2010, i/o ANYWHERE modular systems are ideal for customers who want to have the option to deploy the modules at any of their IT sites and maintaining them with their own staff.
i/o says the opening of a factory “means that today any data center can be transformed into a more flexible and scalable asset, the lifecycle of current infrastructure can be extended, and users of all sizes can reduce their total cost of ownership.”
“We have seen incredible demand for i/o ANYWHERE from all types of users, as no other way of deploying data center capacity can match its quality and scalability,” said George D. Slessman, CEO of i/o. “Our customers no longer have to deal with a disjointed series of data center acquisitions and construction projects in order to create data center capacity. i/o ANYWHERE delivers enterprise data center capacity whenever and wherever our customers need it.”
i/o ANYWHERE is based on the i/o OS operating system to provide monitoring, alarming, remote control and management systems with real-time information.
The modules can be configured, delivered and operational in “a matter of weeks”, according to i/o.
i/o says its data center modules include 100 percent of the critical infrastructure required for an always-on data center and are scalable to meet power demands.
