Divide and Conquer: Understanding the Impact of Modular Design on PUE

Line graph comparing PUE, Power Usage Effectiveness, against IT load utilization for two data centers: one non-modular (yellow line) and one modular with 4 PODs (blue line).
Diagram of an optimized data center room with ITRU method, showing power loads, UPS, CRAC units, and efficiency metrics across different PODs and CR rooms.
A graph showing data center energy consumption and energy savings over ten months. Blue bars represent modular data centers and yellow bars represent non-modular data centers. A green line shows the percentage of energy savings, decreasing from about 60% to nearly 0% as IT load utilization increases from 10% to 100%.
Four graphs displaying POD and IT load utilization for Pods A, B, C, and D, illustrating their load capacities and activation points.
