IPenergy / Modul'Data Center
Headquartered in Gardanne, France
Colocation Provider
Modul'Data Center has been the specialised division in the machine rooms of Groupe IPenergy, since 2006, itself specialised in IP communication technologies.
Modul'Data Center was born from the alarming observation that machine rooms were most often designed by public works and civil engineering companies having no proactive views on the development of computer technologies. Despite the profound developments in computing over the past few years with densification in power linked to blade servers, virtualization and generalisation of the 19" format, Data Centres are still designed as they were 30 years ago. Today, this inadequacy is glaring and France must not remain lagging behind in this domain; failing that, availability of computer applications and therefore the company’s competitiveness would be widely impacted!
This situation leads to an observation: 80% of data centres in activity will have to be changed or to evolve profoundly between now and in 5 years time. And this observation is also verified over very recently designed computer rooms which are already unsuitable. Our objective is to meet the new challenges and technical constraints of data centres, enabling in this way to increase availability and security while reducing direct and indirect costs.
We design a Data Centre around current and future computing requirements of the Clients and not a room which holds all the computer equipment; this nuance makes all the difference!
