Opening: The Invisible Heart of the Digital Era
In today’s rapidly evolving digital economy, data centers have become the “new infrastructure” supporting both enterprise operations and broader society. From training AI large models, to enabling real-time interactions over 5G networks, to powering everyday cloud applications, nearly all digital activities rely on the robust foundation of data centers.
However, traditional data centers are quietly slowing down digital transformation. They often require a year or more to build, consume excessive energy, and are difficult to scale. Faced with rapidly growing computing demands, this model is increasingly unsustainable. A new answer has begun to emerge—the modular prefabricated data center.
Why Modular Prefabrication?
If traditional data centers are like “custom luxury villas”—time-consuming, expensive, and hard to modify—then modular prefabrication is like a “modern, Lego-style home.”
Imagine this: in the factory, the critical components of a data center are pre-designed and produced in modular form, like Lego blocks. On-site, they can be assembled with ease. Projects that once took a year to deliver can now go live in just a few months. For a telecom operator in urgent need of capacity expansion, this means seizing market opportunities faster.
Flexibility is another core advantage of modular prefabrication. Not much demand yet? Deploy only one or two modules. As data needs grow, simply add more. This “grow as you go” approach is particularly suited to the fast-evolving worlds of AI, edge computing, and cloud services.
On the energy side, modular prefabrication does not stand alone. Combined with advanced technologies such as liquid cooling, it can lower the PUE from the traditional 1.6 to near 1.2, directly reducing O&M costs by 20–30%. For enterprises shaping ESG strategies, this is not only a cost saver but also a boost to brand reputation and corporate responsibility.
Moreover, because all modules are manufactured in standardized conditions in the factory, their stability and safety far surpass traditional ad hoc construction. Like a rigorously tested machine, the modules are ready to operate reliably the moment they arrive on site.
Attom’s Practices and Solutions
At Attom, we put the concept of “modular prefabrication” into practice, creating a complete suite of solutions tailored to diverse needs. Each product is not standalone but designed to address specific application environments and customer pain points.
AgileCub
Think of it as a mobile “container data center,” pre-integrating power, cooling, and IT racks. Its greatest advantage is rapid deployment—simply transport to the site, connect, and it’s ready to use. For edge computing, temporary projects, or telecom operators needing quick responses, AgileCub is a true “plug-and-play” solution.
AgileMod
This is a modular, enclosed data center designed for mid- to long-term projects. Its key strengths are flexible expansion and high reliability: enterprises can start small and expand as business grows. Compared to traditional data centers, AgileMod significantly shortens construction time and reduces O&M costs, making it an ideal choice for financial institutions, government agencies, and large enterprise upgrades.
AgileCore AI
To meet the high-density, high-heat demands of AI workloads, the AgileCore AI modular data center was created. Natively supporting liquid cooling, it efficiently resolves heat dissipation challenges, ensuring chips operate in stable conditions. Whether training large models or handling complex research tasks, AgileCore AI provides a high-performance, sustainable computing foundation.
Supporting Systems: SmoothAir, OceanCool, AgilePower
If the above modules are the “skeleton,” these supporting systems are the “lifeblood.”
-
SmoothAir delivers precision cooling from rack-level to room-level, ensuring stable environments for each module.
-
OceanCool is the next-generation immersion liquid cooling system, drastically reducing PUE and advancing true green efficiency.
-
AgilePower guarantees reliable and continuous power supply, from UPS to distribution cabinets, protecting critical data center loads.
In short, Attom doesn’t just offer individual products—it offers a complete, modular ecosystem. Enterprises can “mix and match” based on needs to achieve the most suitable data center form. This is more than a product choice; it is a future-oriented construction mindset: fast, flexible, green, and resilient to time and technological change.
Case Studies: Practices in Latin America
In Latin America, Claro Wireless faced the challenge of rapid market expansion. Traditional methods risked delays, but Attom’s modular solution enabled deployment in record time.
Similarly, the Central Bank of Latin America, under pressure from both information security and energy efficiency, adopted AgileMod. The result: ensured business continuity and significant energy savings.
Even in academia, MSU leveraged our solutions to build flexible research and educational infrastructure. Different clients, same outcomes: speed, sustainability, reliability.
Conclusion: The Future Is Here
Choosing modular prefabrication is not a stopgap—it is an inevitable trend for the future. It frees data center construction from time constraints, reduces energy burdens, and breaks away from outdated models.
At Attom, we believe that the principles of green, efficient, and scalable will define the core of tomorrow’s data centers. If you are mapping your digital future, join us in building tomorrow’s infrastructure—modular, resilient, and ready for what comes next.
