Modular moves from fringe to mainstream

Enhanced technology just around the corner
The modular data center market is bound to keep growing as the technology improves and IT staffs discover new ways to combine modular systems with the company's current hardware. On the technology side, Dell has recently announced that the company has received a custom order to design a 200 Petabyte modular data center, according to Enterprise Tech. While the company has no plans for rolling out such a container for mass production, the announcement is an important hint at what the next generation of modular data centers will be capable of. In the meantime, there are plenty of ways that customers can maximize the effectiveness of current-generation modules. Combining modular technology with a remote console server would allow customers to maximize the users that can access a single network at once, making modular data centers even more cost effective.

Perle's wide range of 1 to 48 port Perle Console Servers provide data center managers and network administrators with secure remote management of any device with a serial console port. Plus, they are the only truly fault tolerant Console Servers on the market with the advanced security functionality needed to easily perform secure remote data center management and out-of-band management of IT assets from anywhere in the world.
