Summary:
Many data center owners are taking a modular or phased construction approach to reduce the costs of design, construction, and operation and build time. This approach allows companies to make a smaller initial investment and to delay some capital expenditures by scaling capacity with business growth.

Data center infrastructure experts from Starline, ABB and 451 Research participate in a panel session moderated by Uptime Institute to discuss how the drive for scalability is changing the landscape of data center design and operations.
