Deployment Speed
GoodMFG® modular structures are a superior option when you need to house IT equipment quickly, as our structures can deploy in a matter of hours, not days or weeks. The primary waiting period will be for shipping, which depends on your location within continental North America.
They’re portable, so you can move them anywhere and redeploy them just as rapidly, ensuring your IT infrastructure can be operational almost instantly.
Cost Reduction
Using modular data centers inherently lowers costs compared to traditional structures, but GoodMFG modular structures offer even greater savings. While Slate Tech Magazine reported in 2024 that modular data centers can cost $466,000 to $1 million, our solution provides a more economical base.
For example, a roughly 2,000 square foot data center can be achieved with 16 of our GM19ST models, seamlessly linked together. The base shell cost for this setup is $224,000, offering 14,976 cubic feet of interior volume. This base structure is designed to last for decades, meaning you won’t incur this initial cost repeatedly. Unlike fully integrated systems where replacing a cooling solution might mean replacing the entire structure, our basic shell allows you to swap out components without wiping out cost savings.
Furthermore, Good Manufacturing structures are built with patent-pending composite aluminum panels and a polystyrene foam core, providing superior insulation that helps your cooling system run efficiently. The option for plug-and-play wall panel replacement also extends your data center’s lifespan and reduces maintenance costs by allowing for fast wall swaps instead of entire unit replacements.
Scalability
GoodMFG® modular structures offer exceptional stability and design flexibility for data centers. Whether you’re starting small or planning for future expansion, our structures can help you create a modest data center that can easily grow by adding more stacked or linked modules.
You gain superior design flexibility, allowing you to stack and link Good Modular Structures in various configurations to achieve your desired result, potentially linking enough units to create a building of any size. This adaptability ensures you can retrofit and modify these structures as many times as needed to keep up with emergent technologies and evolving IT demands.
Rugged Construction
GoodMFG® Modular Structures feature rugged construction designed for long-term durability and security. They are built with composite aluminum panels that sandwich polystyrene foam between sheets of #5052 aluminum. These panels are naturally:
- Weather-resistant
- Rust-resistant
- Fire-resistant
- Mold and mildew resistant
- Resistant to blunt force damage from elements like falling branches
This robust construction ensures the structures remain sturdy and stable for decades, only requiring occasional pressure washing. Additionally, they are equipped with electronic locks to help you secure your servers and other equipment, keeping both your hardware and valuable data sources safe and secure.
Why Good Modular Structures?
GoodMFG® offers a “blank slate” approach to creating modular data centers, providing foundational building blocks for IT departments without unnecessary pre-integrated systems. In a world of constantly evolving technology, power demands, and cooling solutions, our structures serve as a highly adaptable, cost-effective base, providing several advantages.
- Lower upfront investment. By not pre-stuffing our structures with complex, pre-integrated cooling, power distribution, or fire suppression systems, we dramatically lower initial costs, a significant benefit for IT departments with tight budgets. You add only the precise systems you need, gaining a robust, secure physical structure without overpaying.
- Avoid redundant costs. If your organization already has preferred vendors, existing contracts, and specific standards for data center components, our structures help you sidestep duplicate systems and avoid paying for proprietary systems you can’t use or integrate.
- Remain vendor agnostic. Our structures provide a neutral environment, giving you the power to select your preferred hardware and software vendors for all internal systems without proprietary lock-ins.
- Future-proofing. Data center technology changes rapidly. Our basic building structure allows you to easily swap in and out more efficient cooling methods or higher-density power solutions as they emerge, matching your investment to your growth and technological advancements.
If a quick, durable, and secure shell that offers unparalleled flexibility appeals to you, then Good Manufacturing Modular Structures provide the perfect solution for your data center needs.
