This case study examines how self-contained, rack-based, micro data centers have been deployed in lieu of traditional enterprise constructed IT facilities for distributed computing sites. These sites include both single room environments and on-premise DR environments. The presentation will show how the use of micro data centers grew from a custom designed targeted use to flexible, modular, solution that can meet a global standardization and be deployed in various environments. The implications of global provisioning will be explored along with lessons learned and the challenges faced in deploying this non-traditional system.
