Modular data center deployment method and system for data center vessels
A modular data center build method and system including prefabricated data center modules comprised of a plurality of racks, a plurality of rack-mounted computer systems, a door, electrical systems, cooling systems, power connections, water connections, video systems, biometric access system and a fire safety system. A steel beam structure may be employed to secure multiple vertical levels of a plurality of data center modules. The described modular data center build method and system with prefabricated data center modules may be employed to quickly deploy a data center in a repeatable sustainable manner, drastically reducing the build deployment time of a data center from design to fully operational.
1. A modular data center, comprising:
a data center module, which further comprises:
a top wall, a front wall, a back wall, a left side wall, a right side wall, and a bottom wall;
a door;
a plurality of power connections comprised in an electrical system power distribution unit;
coolant distribution piping comprised in the top wall, left side wall, right side wall, and bottom wall;
a plurality of racks comprising
a corresponding plurality of rack mountable computer systems; and
a plurality of recessed wheels comprising pallet jack slots and fastened to the plurality of racks for enabling the plurality of racks to be slid forward, backward or sideways;
a fire suppressant system;
an internal video system;
an external video system; and
a biometric access system.
2. The modular data center of claim 1 wherein the left side wall, the right side wall, front wall, and back wall are perpendicularly connected to the top wall and the bottom wall.
3. The modular data center of claim 1 wherein the cooling distribution piping further comprises a plurality of water connections, compatible with an external closed looped cooling system for cold water supply and hot water return.
4. The modular data center of claim 1 wherein each rack of the plurality of racks is comprised in a beam structure configured to allow a plurality of data center modules to be secured in vertically stacked rows.
5. The modular data center of claim 1 wherein:
the plurality of wheels are recessed in a track system which enables the racks to be slid; and
wherein the track system further comprises a quick lock mechanism to secure each rack in place.
6. The modular data center of claim 1 further comprising a plurality of flexible cable management ladders configured to manage network or power cabling such that each cable management ladder of the plurality of flexible cable management ladders is configured to allow each individual rack to slide forward to provide an access a back portion of the computer systems.
7. The modular data center of claim 1 further comprising a plurality of wireless sensors configured to collect data for a data center infrastructure management suite.
8. The modular data center of claim 7 wherein the data center infrastructure management suite is configured to control the electrical system power distribution unit, the cooling distribution piping, the fire suppressant system, the internal video system, and the external video system installed in the data center data center module.
