Container data center

Why containerised

A factory or a plant rarely has a room that suits servers, and building a concrete room for one rack rarely justifies itself. A container data center can be placed where the power and the fibre already are, and scaled by adding a second unit.

Edge locations

Edge data centers sit at the fringe of the network to keep latency low for a local area. They are smaller than hyperscale halls but need the same computing infrastructure — which is exactly what a purpose built container provides.

How it is built

• Waterproof and airtight shell, IP54 to IP65 on request
• Mineral wool insulation for both thermal and fire performance
• Protected ventilation grilles for cooling equipment
• Sealed cable entries, raised floor or cable tray

Data sovereignty

Many companies keep data in house to protect trade secrets. With 5G and machine to machine traffic growing, local storage and local processing keep becoming more common — and a container is the fastest way to add it.
