The PMDC is a key member of the IBM Data Centre Family and is the only family member to offer complete installation flexibility enabling the client to have a new, fully functional data centre just outside their existing building or half way around the world in any remote location within 12-14 weeks. The solution is specifically designed for organizations requiring immediate additional computing capacity.

Unlike similar competitive offerings, IBM's PMDC solution supports multiple vendor technologies and offers organizations a reduction in energy consumption by as much as 50 per cent compared to accommodating IT systems within a traditional data centre facility. Featuring complete physical infrastructure including power and cooling systems and remote monitoring, the PMDC has all the elements of secure operating environments found in traditional "raised-floor" data centres, including protection from fire, smoke, humidity, condensation and temperature changes. All IT equipment contained within the PMDC can be easily serviced and maintained from within a closed, physically secure and environmentally tight container.

"With businesses expanding rapidly in India, IBM's PMDC's are well equipped to offer an immediate, secure and portable solution that uses a plug-and-play design providing an environmentally isolated and physically protected, fully functional data centre. It is tailored for unique applications such as expansion of local data centres, solutions for temporary data processing, mobility of data centres and remote applications, disaster recovery management, co-location as well as turnkey private cloud installations," said Akash Saxena, Vice-President, Offerings Management & Development, Global Technology Services, IBM India/South Asia.
