Analysis of How Data Center Pod Frames Reduce Cost and Accelerate IT Rack Deployments

There is a better way to deploy and manage groups (or pods) of IT racks. Effective, free-standing pod frame containment systems can be quickly assembled and used as an overhead mounting point for services. Unlike traditional deployments, air containment and supporting infrastructure is attached to the frame allowing for racks to be easily rolled in and out.

In this paper we describe effective data center pod frame containment systems and demonstrate how they can reduce time to deploy by 21% and reduce capital costs by 15% compared to traditional methods and containment systems.
