Entryway for a modular data center
This application describes the entryway to a remote or modular data center to provide access to data to rural customers or customers that do not have the advantage of large data centers nearby. The entryway to the remote data center must be equipped with safeguards to prevent the intrusion of dust, dirt and moisture from entering the data center storage facility. A two door system with a filtration system and other safeguards is anticipated that will limit the amount of contaminants that can enter the storage facility.
