MODULAR DATA CENTER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17836321 titled 'MODULAR DATA CENTER

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for outfitting a data center by dividing the available space into subsets and installing different modules within those subsets. The modules include a base data center module with common and unique components, as well as auxiliary data center modules with common components. The base module is installed in one subset, while the auxiliary modules are installed in the remaining subsets.

  • The method involves identifying a suitable space for a data center installation.
  • The identified space is divided into subsets.
  • A set of data center modules is selected for installation.
  • The set includes a base module with all necessary components for a fully operational data center.
  • The base module has both common components and unique components.
  • Auxiliary modules are also included in the set, which only have the common components.
  • The base module is installed in one subset of the space.
  • The auxiliary modules are installed in the remaining subsets.

Potential Applications

  • This method can be applied to various industries and organizations that require data centers, such as technology companies, financial institutions, and government agencies.
  • It can be used for new data center installations or for expanding existing data centers.

Problems Solved

  • This method solves the problem of efficiently utilizing the available space in a data center by dividing it into subsets and installing different modules.
  • It allows for flexibility in the configuration of the data center by using a combination of base and auxiliary modules.

Benefits

  • The method allows for modular and scalable data center installations, making it easier to expand or modify the data center as needed.
  • It provides a cost-effective solution by utilizing common components in the auxiliary modules, reducing the need for redundant equipment.
  • The division of space into subsets allows for better organization and management of the data center infrastructure.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method of outfitting a data center includes: identifying a footprint space for installing the data center; dividing the footprint space into a plurality of proper subsets; and identifying a set of data center modules for installation in the footprint space. The set of data center modules includes: a base data center module that includes components to establish a fully operational data center, the components including a first set of common components and a second set of unique components that are unique to the base data center module. The set of data center modules includes at least one auxiliary data center module that includes the first set of common components. The method includes installing the base data center module within a first proper subset of the footprint space; and installing an auxiliary data center module in at least one of the remaining proper subsets of the footprint space.
