Installation• Locate container(s) on level surface

• Connect power, water and network connections

• Test PMDC infrastructure systems

• Install and connect IT equipment

• Final test entire system



Movement- Prepare new installation location

Concrete pad or level surface prepared Power, water and network sources brought to installation location Rigging equipment to place container(s)

Business challenge Traditional data center construction would take 18 –

24 months Needed immediate data processing capability Dessert location made on-site construction difficult

Solution PMDC provided complete data center in shipping

containers, including data center infrastructure Plug-and-play installation in a remote location

Scalable Modular Data Center


Scalable modular data center (SMDC) is an innovative solution for today’s data centers

A cost-effective, high quality 500-2,5000 square foot (50-250 square meters) data center. The SMDC can be custom designed and installed in nearly any working environment in less time and at a lower cost than a traditional raised floor data center.

SMDC benefits• Rapid deployment: A fully functional, cost effective data center in 8-12 weeks• Energy efficient design: UPS systems and in-row, load variable cooling• High quality: complete turn-key solution from planning to install and start-up


Scalable, modular cooling: A quick view of perimeter vs in-row cooling

Perimeter Cooling• Cools entire room and under raised floor

• Must deliver cold air at great distances

– Must overcome obstructions– Floor tiles must be strategically

placed and moved/adjusted

• Hot return air mixes with cooler room air lowering return air temperature

– Increases room air temperature– Lowers delta T across coil

• Not capable of cooling high density loads

– Effective to 2 – 6kW/rack

In-Row Cooling• Cools only the racks and IT equipment

• Close coupled, very short air paths

– No obstructions to air flow– No raised floor or floor tiles required,

all air flow at rack level

• Very little, if any, hot/cold air mixing

– Easy hot air containment (rack or row level)

– Increased delta T across coil

• Can support very high density loads

– Up to 30kW/rack and more


What does a typical SMDC infrastructure look like?

SMDC Floor Plan (500sf/50sm)- 2 rows of 5 IT equipment racks- 4 InRow cooling units per row- One UPS/batteries and PDU per row- Chilled water distribution unit
