Pod data centre designs have become popular for speed to market (build in 14 weeks) and the sheer power a pre-fabricated pod can provide. Chris Clifford, director of Verb DC claims the pod data centre will have a PUE (power usage effectiveness) ratio of 1.25 - which means the compute cluster is using four-fifths of the total power coming into the data centre. Traditional data centres tend to have PUE ratings closer to 2. He expects this to translate to power savings of between $3000 and $4000 per rack per year.
