The common definition of a framework is an underlying structure on which expansion can be built, with increasing utility.

This concept can be applied to a physical structure; for example a supporting aluminium framework. A set of ideas, the 'framework of our cultural values or intellectual decisions'; or a web framework, a comprehensive guide on how to develop and maintain software and code.

Since 2004, modulan has embodied these principles in developing solutions for data centres around the world. Our "framework" continues to operate on these three planes.

In the physical environment, our lightweight strong and modular racks and cabinets secure an incredibly valuable store of servers. In the strategic environment, we have developed proprietary planning tools to ensure data centres can operate at maximum efficiency both in terms of space and energy. In the operating environment, our products enable efficiencies in climate control and worker productivity that helps deliver on a world class data centre's key promise, the highest possible availability.
