Reinventing the edge: Siemens, Cadolto and Legrand introduce new modular data center
As demand for reliable, high-performance computing accelerates – driven by AI, edge processing, and data-intensive applications – businesses need more than just capacity. They need agile, efficient, and rapidly deployable infrastructure that scales as fast as their ambitions. This new modular solution delivers just that: a fully integrated, plug-and-play data center that can be configured, installed, expanded, and relocated with unprecedented ease.
Fast, scalable and sustainable: Siemens presents groundbreaking modular edge data center solution for the next phase of digital transformation
Reinventing the edge: Siemens, Cadolto and Legrand introduce a next-generation modular data center
Siemens, Cadolto and Legrand introduce new modular edge data center. The innovative system debuts at Data Center World Frankfurt, taking place on June 4–5, 2025.
Unlike containerized data centers, this solution offers customizable, prefabricated modules that can be tailored to unique operational needs and deployed in a fraction of the time – with planning cycles from six to 12 months. The data center supports everything from basic workloads to high-density, AI-powered computing.
Acting as an exclusive technology partner, Siemens integrates its full suite of Smart Infrastructure technologies – from medium- and low-voltage power distribution, to building automation, fire safety, and physical security systems. Optional maintenance contracts and connection to a 24/7 emergency and service control center complete the solution. As both product provider and integrator, Siemens ensures seamless system interaction, minimizes interface complexity, and accelerates deployment. With Siemens Financial Services providing flexible financing and rental models, businesses can scale up infrastructure without upfront capital investment. Cadolto Datacenter acts as manufacturer and general contractor of the modular edge data center, delivering the prefabricated modular building with integrated climate control. Legrand Data Center Solutions brings its expertise in IT white space infrastructure – from racks and structured cabling to intelligent Power Distribution Units (PDUs) and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems.
“With digital transformation accelerating across every industry, our customers need infrastructure that moves as fast as they do,” said Ciaran Flanagan, Global Head of Data Center Solutions & Services at Siemens AG. “This solution offers all the performance of a traditional data center, but with the agility to scale quickly, tailored to our customers’ specific needs. When ramping up capacity, it’s just a case of plugging it in.”
The fully equipped, energy-efficient data centers are suitable for both permanent operation and interim use. They can be deployed wherever needed – from secure high-performance computing in pharmaceutical environments to temporary applications such as test setups in the automotive sector, space-constrained office locations, or even disaster recovery scenarios. “IT-ready” rental models enable fast deployment without upfront investment, making them ideal for temporary IT hubs, lab environments, or other short-term infrastructure needs.
Each unit of the modular edge data center is factory-built with precision engineering and delivered ready-to-operate, minimizing on-site disruption and enabling live upgrades without downtime. With approximately 30 percent fewer CO₂ emissions during construction, a 90 percent recycling rate, and fully reusable components, it’s a future-forward approach to sustainable digital infrastructure.
Visitors can experience the new solution first-hand at Data Center World Frankfurt, Hall 8, Catering Area CA4 – where a full-scale demo unit will be on display.
