The Smart Alternative to a Brick-and-Mortar Data Center: Dell MDC

Intelligent Connectivity and Flexibility: The Dell Modular Data Center
Take a look at the hyperefficient, snap-together, flexible choice over the traditional brick-and-mortar or pod-type data center: the Dell™ Modular Data Center (MDC) solution. Many key benefits make the Dell MDC a compelling alternative for your data center solution. Read a few of those benefits:

Speed: The Dell MDC can be designed, built, and up and running 75 percent faster than a traditional data center.

Efficient: Designed for hyperefficiency, the Dell MDC choice provides important advantages for flexible growth and cost reduction. When you choose an MDC from Dell, the Dell Data Center Solutions (DCS) engineering team works hard to optimize your entire data center to reduce operational costs. Best of all, the MDC is modular, so you can add only the modules you need, incrementally, as you grow, without substantial up-front costs.

Flexible: Where the competition force fits IT into a rigid shipping container, we collaborate with customers like you to custom build your MDC.
