Data Center Solutions Data Center on Demand™
A quantum leap forward in energy efficiency,
design flexibility and deployment agility
Remember the days when your data center planning was simple? If you needed more capacity, it was just a matter of adding more server and storage cabinets. Today you have more options—and questions—than ever before, encompassing everything from cloud solutions to hosted services to co-location or traditional enterprise-owned and built.
What if planning and capacity decisions could be simplifi ed? What if the complexity of building your own data center was reduced along with time-to-delivery? What if you could build only what was required today and seamlessly scale following a pay-as-you-grow data center model?
With CommScope, all of this is possible.

Introducing Data Center on Demand
In a constantly changing industry,
deploy your data center with confi dence.
The typical build cycle for a traditional data center is 2-3 years.
That means the data center you build today may be obsolete before it ever sees the light of day. In an IT environment that evolves rapidly, how can you possibly forecast your technology needs that far away?
Trends, technologies, techniques and applications are in a constant state of fl ux. That makes it diffi cult to determine the right strategy to seamlessly migrate any data center.
In the meanwhile, your budget and capacity constraints continue to escalate.
Your success depends on your agility—how quickly you respond to:
• The dynamic IT requirements of your enterprise
• Changes in your business strategy
• Fluctuating energy needs and costs
• Advancing technology
Data Center on Demand™ is the answer. It isn’t a modular data center. It’s not an ISO containerized data center. It is a purpose-built data center that offers energy effi ciency, rapid scalability, easy deployment—and above all, simplicity.

Simplifi ed deployments
scaled to your business needs.
Data Center on Demand is much faster and easier to install than traditional or containerized data centers. Accelerated design and build phases reduce deployment timeframes from years to weeks. When you need additional capacity, simply expand your existing data center, on demand and as required.
Customize your Data Center on Demand solution
Deploy Data Center on Demand on premise, in a fi eld, outdoors, indoors within a prepped building, in extremely harsh environments—
anywhere with access to network power, water and ventilation. Deploy with racks or cabinets of varying sizes and dimensions or as white space to call your own. Tailor individual solutions and supporting infrastructure to specifi c business and environmental requirements based on an array of mechanical, electrical, fi re, and security options. Design and build your own core infrastructure or CommScope experts can do it for you.

Installs quickly and easily in nearly any locale.
The data center business is high-risk, high-cost and high-pressure. You must plan ahead, act fast and implement the right strategy the fi rst time—
every time. In this environment, responsive agility and time-sensitive rollouts are paramount. But these challenges don’t need to adversely affect your decision—not with the agility and fl exibility offered by Data Center on Demand.
Deployable whenever and wherever you need it
BUILT TO SUPPORT YOUR THRIVING DATA CENTER Traditional solutions require large CapEx. Modular solutions are prefabbed as templates.
Containerized solutions are built for shipping. CommScope’s purpose-built solutions are designed for you.
Think ahead of change.
Capture opportunity.
As your network evolves, so too will the challenges you face. It’s critical that you make the right strategic investments now to reduce your total cost of ownership in the long run. You can stay ahead of—and take advantage of—changing technology with one simple approach: think of your network as a living, breathing, constantly evolving asset that must continually adapt to survive and fl ourish.
That’s why we refer to our portfolio as a Living Infrastructure. It’s our extensive, continually evolving portfolio of enterprise solutions and services for data centers and buildings. It’s driven by an established, holistic approach to deploying, managing and optimizing infrastructure in your constantly changing IT environment. This perspective enables us to continually evolve solutions that help you stay ahead of emerging technology.
After all of the effort you might spend on a traditional build, the last reality you want to face is that you’ve actually stranded a good portion of your power and capacity within the fi rst 12, 18 or 24 months.
You need maximum fl exibility. Data Center on Demand offers it. Following our Living Infrastructure methodology, it maximizes your ability to remain highly agile by enabling you to do what is most important: rapidly add power and capacity—when and where you need it.
Instant power and capacity to keep your living infrastructure thriving
Available in 1, 4, 10 or 20-rack building blocks.
THINK OF THEM AS INDIVIDUAL DATA CENTERS WHICH CAN BE COUPLED TOGETHER AT THE INITIAL INSTALL OR SLOWLY OVER TIME—ALL WITHOUT ANY DISRUPTION OF SERVICE.
