A data center module is a data center that can be prefabricated using generally standardized off-the-shelf components, and quickly assembled on a collocation site where a shared central facility is provided. The data center module is typically configured to be deployed with other identical data center modules around the central facility both in side-to-side and/or in back-to-back juxtapositions, typically without the need for interleaving space between adjacent modules in order to maximize real estate use. Each data center module typically comprises harden party walls, several floors for accommodating all the necessary electrical and cooling subsystems and for accommodating all the computing machinery (e.g. servers). Though all the data center modules share similar physical configuration, each data center module can be independently customized and operated to accommodate different needs. Each data center module also incorporates a highly efficient hybrid cooling system that can benefit from both air-side and water-side economizers.
A data center module, the module comprising an outer envelop and a plurality of levels, the plurality of levels comprising at least a ground level and at least one upper level, the ground level comprising a cooling system, the at least one upper level comprising a plurality of computing machines, the plurality of levels being in fluid communication thereby allowing downward and upward movements of air within the module, the module comprising an air handling unit located on a top portion thereof, the air handling unit being in fluid communication with the top of the at least one upper level, the air handling unit comprising at least one air intake and at least one air exhaust to allow air to enter and exit the module.
A data center module, the module comprising an outer envelop and defining a lower part, a middle part and an upper part, the lower part comprising a cooling system, the middle part comprising a plurality of computer machines, and the upper part comprising an air handling unit, the upper part being in fluid communication with the middle part and the middle part being in fluid communication with the lower part to allow downward and upward movements of air within the module, the air handling unit comprising at least one air intake and at least one air exhaust to allow air to enter and exit the module.
A data center complex comprises a central facility and at least one data center module in communication with the central facility.
A method to deploy a data center complex comprising a central facility and at least one data center module, the method comprising:
