What Makes Siemens' New 'All In One' Data Centre So Special?
A ground breaking 'all in one' modular data centre has been launched by industry leaders Siemens Smart Infrastructure, Cadolto DataCenter GmbH and Legrand Data Center Solutions.
This next-generation edge data centre represents a revolutionary turnkey solution meticulously engineered for unparalleled speed, scalability and sustainability. The game-changing system made its highly anticipated debut at Data Center World Frankfurt, taking place on 4-5 June 2025.
Siemens is the exclusive technology partner for this project and it will provide and integrate sophisticated energy and building automation systems with flexible financing options.
The data centre has been optimised to meet the demands of modern IT infrastructure and should be capable of handling everything from standard processing to high-performance AI applications.
"With digital transformation accelerating across every industry, our customers need infrastructure that moves as fast as they do," says Ciaran Flanagan, Global Head of Data Center Solutions & Services at Siemens AG.
Unprecedented options for customisation
The surge in demand for reliable high-performance computing (HPC) continues to accelerate dramatically, driven primarily by AI breakthroughs, edge processing innovations and increasingly data-intensive applications.
Consequently, businesses find themselves desperately seeking agile, efficient and rapidly deployable infrastructure solutions that transcend mere capacity expansion and offer true scalability.
The collaborating companies reveal that their revolutionary modular solution directly addresses these critical needs. It delivers a comprehensively integrated plug-and-play data centre that can be effortlessly configured, installed, expanded and relocated as business demands shift.
Breaking away from traditional containerised data centres, this innovative modular design delivers prefabricated modules that can be precisely tailored to each operator's unique requirements.
These versatile units can be deployed in a fraction of conventional timeframes, with planning cycles compressed to just six to 12 months.
These advanced modular data centres excel at supporting high-density workloads, including the most demanding AI computing applications.
"This solution offers all the performance of a traditional data centre, but with the agility to scale quickly, tailored to our customers' specific needs," Ciaran explain.
"When ramping up capacity, it's just a case of plugging it in."
Each modular edge data centre unit arrives factory-built and delivered as a completely ready-to-operate solution, dramatically minimising on-site disruption while enabling seamless live upgrades without any downtime.
The system operates with approximately 30% fewer CO₂ emissions during construction, boasts an impressive 90% recycling rate and features fully reusable components – presenting a truly 'future-forward approach' to sustainable digital infrastructure.
- Seamless system interaction
- Minimised interface complexity
- Accelerated deployment
- Connection to a 24/7 emergency and service control centre
- Optional maintenance contracts
The future of sustainable infrastructure
As the project's exclusive technology partner, Siemens seamlessly integrates its comprehensive suite of Smart Infrastructure technologies.
This powerful combination encompasses medium and low-voltage power distribution, advanced building automation, state-of-the-art fire safety and robust physical security systems.
Smart Infrastructure stands designed to revolutionise infrastructure at unprecedented speed and scale, fostering collaborative ecosystems while dramatically accelerating each customer's digital transformation journey.
The overarching goal focuses on empowering businesses to scale up their infrastructure capabilities without requiring substantial upfront capital investments.
- Legrand’s PDU solutions are intelligent enough to be reliable and secure for critical IT equipment. Its PDUs are designed to offer reliability, innovation, modularity and efficiency, which is especially important given the need to create data centres that are powerful, reliable and efficient.
Cadolto Datacenter takes on the pivotal role of manufacturer and general contractor for the modular edge data centre, delivering expertly prefabricated modular buildings with seamlessly integrated climate control systems.
Meanwhile, Legrand Data Center Solutions contributes its deep expertise in IT white space infrastructure – encompassing everything from sophisticated racks and structured cabling to intelligent Power Distribution Units (PDUs) and advanced Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems.
These fully equipped, energy-efficient data centres prove suitable for both permanent operations and interim deployment scenarios, according to the companies.
They can be strategically positioned wherever needed across an extensive range of industries, including pharmaceuticals and automotive sectors.
Similarly, the innovative "IT-ready" rental models are specifically designed to enable lightning-fast deployment without upfront investment requirements, making them ideal solutions for temporary IT hubs, research lab environments, or other short-term infrastructure challenges.
