Flexible data center infrastructure distribution

A method of providing infrastructure to support incrementally installed computing capacity in a data center, the method comprising:

• monitoring support capacity for a network system;
• determining that network capacity will fall below a threshold support capacity upon installation of an incremental amount of computing capacity at the data center;
• and
• concurrently installing at the data center, with the installation of the incremental amount of computing capacity, a network communication infrastructure module, wherein the network communication infrastructure module has an incremental support capacity proportional to the incremental amount of computing capacity being installed at the data center.

A system, comprising:

• a data center;
• an inventory site;
• one or more computer systems, the one or more computer systems comprising at least one memory storing program instructions and at least one hardware processor configured to execute the program instructions to implement a computing capacity deployment system configured to determine an incremental amount of computing capacity is to be installed at the data center to satisfy demand for computing capacity;
• and
• one or more other computer systems, the one or more other computer systems comprising at least one memory storing program instructions and at least one hardware processor configured to execute the program instructions to implement an infrastructure capacity distribution system configured to:
• determine whether support capacity of various types of infrastructure systems of the data center will fall below a threshold support capacity upon installation of the incremental amount of computing capacity at the data center;
• and
• order an infrastructure module for a particular type of infrastructure support system that is stored at the inventory site be installed in the data center in response to determining that support capacity for the particular type of infrastructure support system will fall below the threshold support capacity upon the installation of the incremental amount of computing capacity at the data center,
• wherein the inventory site comprises a plurality of infrastructure modules each having an incremental support capacity for a particular type of infrastructure support system that is proportional to an incremental amount of compute capacity being installed at the data center without providing additional support capacity for other ones of the plurality of types of infrastructure support systems.
