A factor that has a dominant effect on the approach to modularity in a data center is the data center capacity in watts. To help illustrate this effect, consider the cases of a small computer room in a branch office, a small data center, and a very large data center ![[Pasted image 20241013115104.png]] ![[Pasted image 20241013115143.png]] Design concept: there are at least three fundamentally different modular architectures required to support data centers of different sizes. These architectures are based on the cabinet, the pod, or the room as the core deployment module.
