Abstract

A manufactured data center (MDC) uses construction systems and methods allowing the MDC unit to serve as a drop-in replacement for a traditional brick-and-mortar computer data center, while providing functional and operational advantages over known modular data centers. The MDC comprises “white space” housing supported equipment such as servers and other heat-producing computing equipment, plus a power center incorporating electrical equipment and infrastructure necessary for operation of the supported equipment, including an HVAC system which may comprise a purpose-built computer room air conditioning (CRAC) unit.

Claims14

Dependent claims

A self-contained manufactured data center (MDC) comprising a plurality of white space modules:

(a) one or more of the white space modules for receiving heat-producing equipment;
(b) a power centre incorporating selected electrical equipment and infrastructure integral to each of the respective white space modules with optional corridor access for supporting the heat-producing equipment installed in the one or more white space modules;
and
(c) a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system for cooling the heat producing equipment installed in the one or more white space modules, wherein the foregoing are all contained within the MDC and disposed laterally so as to minimize the vertical profile of the MDC.
