Modular & Containerized Edge Data Center

Growing data volumes and escalating requirements often lead to space problems in existing IT environments. Container solutions suitable for outdoor distributed applications are one possible solution for this kind of Big data applications.

These container solutions are delivered pre-assembled, and can be up and running in next to no time. The spectrum ranges from only IT containers, through to complete all-in-one systems containing the entire physical IT infrastructure, from the rack, to climate control, power supply with a powerful UPS system, through to complete monitoring and, at the customer’s request, an effective fire extinguisher system.

Key Features

• Prefabricated, pretested, and fully configured architecture designed for high mobility in edge computing applications.
• Comprehensive integration of UPS, power distribution, battery, cooling, racks, and other subsystems.
• Advanced management and monitoring system covering power, energy, assets, work orders, security, and capacity management.

Customer Benefits

• Space Optimization: Mobile Edge data centers are compact and have a higher rack density, maximizing performance in minimal space.
• Easy Implementation: Flexsol data centers are factory-tested and integrated, allowing for swift assembly.
• Scalability: Edge data centers offer enhanced flexibility for expansion and reconfiguration compared to traditional data centers.
• Enhanced Energy Efficiency: Cooling can constitute as much as 40% of the total energy consumption of a data center.
• Strategic Location: Edge data centers are typically situated near the endpoints they serve.
• Compact Design: Edge data centers feature a significantly reduced physical footprint while maintaining the same components as conventional data centers.
• Data Characteristics: Edge data centers commonly house crucial data with stringent low latency demands.
• Deployment: Edge data centers are strategically located near endpoints, have a smaller footprint compared to traditional data centers, store critical data with low latency requirements, and can be interconnected with larger central data centers or other edge data centers within a network.

Functionality

The Container modules contain the entire infrastructure for the IT equipment, including the uninterruptible power supply Depending on the version, also with integral cooling generation or ready-to connect for an infrastructure container or conventional infrastructure. In addition to mechanical mounting of the IT equipment in the form of racks, an Power module also contains the power distribution system, including UPS, cooling systems and monitoring components. Depending on the cooling systems used, cooling generation is also pre-integrated. Cooling generation is supplied separately, depending on the cooling system used.
