A containerized data center is a modular data center solution that uses standard containers (e.g., 20-foot and 40-foot international standard containers) as its carrier. Through factory prefabrication, it integrates IT equipment (servers, storage, and network devices), power systems, cooling systems, security systems, and other components into a single unit. It breaks the limitations of traditional data centers—such as on-site construction, long cycles, and poor flexibility—and boasts core advantages of high standardization, mobility, and rapid deployment. It serves as an efficient IT infrastructure for addressing temporary computing needs, edge scenarios, and special environments.
| Module Category | Core Equipment | Function |
|---|---|---|
| IT Equipment Module | Servers, storage arrays, switches, firewalls | Undertakes data computing, storage, network transmission, and security protection |
| Power Support Module | UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), battery banks, diesel generators (optional) | Ensures uninterrupted operation of IT equipment during power outages and adapts to different power supply environments |
| Cooling and Heat Dissipation Module | Power distribution systems / precision air conditioners (air-cooled / water-cooled), ventilation systems, hot aisle containment (optional) | Controls the temperature (usually 18~27°C) and humidity (40%~60%) inside the data center to prevent equipment overheating |
| Environment and Security Module | Temperature and humidity sensors, smoke detectors, access control systems, video surveillance, fire protection systems (e.g., gas fire suppression) | Monitors the data center environment in real time and prevents risks such as theft and fire |
| Structure and Protection Module | Galvanized steel container body, thermal insulation layer, dustproof and waterproof shutters, grounding system | Provides physical protection, isolates from harsh external environments, and ensures equipment safety |
A containerized data center is a prefabricated, modular solution that integrates IT equipment, power systems, cooling systems, and security systems into standard shipping containers (like 20-foot or 40-foot containers) for rapid deployment and high mobility.
Unlike traditional data centers, containerized versions break through the limitations of long on-site construction cycles. They offer high standardization, excellent mobility, rapid deployment, and superior flexibility for edge computing or temporary needs.
The temperature is managed by a Cooling and Heat Dissipation Module using precision air conditioners (air-cooled or water-cooled) and ventilation systems to maintain a stable temperature of 18~27°C and humidity levels of 40%~60%.
It features a dedicated Power Support Module equipped with UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) and battery banks, along with optional diesel generators, to ensure uninterrupted operations and adapt to various power grids.
Yes, the outer body is made of galvanized steel with a thermal insulation layer, dustproof/waterproof shutters, and grounding systems. It also includes smoke detectors, video surveillance, access control, and gas fire suppression systems for complete physical and environmental security.
