Description

The utility model relates to the field of computing, in particular to mobile computing centers.

Using a mobile data center as an alternative to a stationary one is effective in many cases. First of all, when it is necessary to deploy a data center at remote points where there is no appropriate infrastructure, or when the construction and reconstruction of premises to accommodate a stationary data center is too complicated and costly. With the active growth of the company and regional expansion, mobile data centers are an effective solution to reduce the time needed to open additional offices, branches or retail outlets and to maintain centralized control over the distributed information infrastructure of the enterprise. In addition, the mobile data center can be used as a backup node for a stationary data center.

The data center is a rapidly deployable, cost-effective data center built into a transport container and optimized for efficient use of electricity and space, as well as for maximum productivity. This mobile data center is environmentally friendly. Featuring highly efficient power distribution and cooling systems, it is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional data centers.

The well-known data center of Sun Microsystems is known as Blackbox (http://ru.sun.com/news/press/2007/july/pr260707.html). As part of the Blackbox project, computing and network infrastructure, as well as data storage facilities, are placed in scalable modules equipped with

modern air conditioning, monitoring and energy distribution systems. There can be a variety of standard and individual configurations of systems, storage devices, network tools and software, depending on the customer’s order. For maximum flexibility, all Blackbox project modules are shipped in standard 6-meter shipping containers and can be easily transported using standard shipping methods. Simple connections to water systems, AC sources, and local networks allow customers to quickly deploy a Blackbox project right after delivery.

As a prototype, the MCOD of the CHERUS company was selected (http://www.cherus.ru/files//Mobile_COD_1.pdf). The MCOD is housed in a building that is similar in size to the standard transport 20-foot and 40-foot containers and is equipped with all the necessary engineering systems - power supply, process air conditioning, fire extinguishing, burglar alarm and access control; In accordance with the project, IT equipment is placed in the container: servers, data storage systems, telecommunication systems equipment. With the help of additional partition walls, the MCOD space is divided into two rooms: a vestibule lock and a room with equipment, which allows it to maintain a constant temperature and humidity. The operation parameters of engineering systems and equipment are controlled by an automated dispatch control system, which makes the data center “uninhabitable” all the time between preventive maintenance of systems. In the standard version, the MCOD is designed for 25 kW of electric refrigerating power, the operating temperature range is from -35 ° C to + 45 ° C.

For the reliable operation of equipment that meets a high level of availability, it is necessary to ensure appropriate environmental conditions. First need

to remove a large amount of heat generated by computer equipment. We are talking about the amount of heat that increases with increasing power systems and the density of their layout. Therefore, one of the most significant points is a number of requirements regarding the formation of air flows that cool equipment. In addition, an important task is the convenience of installing or removing equipment from racks.

All these requirements for the placement of equipment and engineering systems, ensuring security for personnel, equipment and information security together guarantee the successful implementation of a data center.

The objective of this utility model is to ensure the most efficient cooling of equipment capable of functioning in a wide range of climatic conditions, and the ease of use of the data center.

To solve this problem, in a mobile data center containing a container equipped with a raised floor, racks with IT equipment installed in it, an electricity supply system, a cooling system, an alarm and access control system, a gas fire extinguishing system, an automated dispatch control system, cable and network equipment placed under the raised floor, a movable platform is installed above the raised floor, which has the ability to move across the axis of the container; racks with T-equipment, in addition, the container is equipped with a screen placed at a distance from the ceiling and spaced from the side wall of the container, separating the flows of cold and hot air, while the flow of cold air is organized through the front wall of the equipment, a forced air cooling system is used as a cooling system installed above existing screen windows. IT equipment consists of servers, data storage systems, equipment

telecommunication systems. The data center can be installed on any vehicle. The platform can be moved by remote control. The container can be divided into two rooms: a vestibule lock and a room with equipment.

Figure 1 shows a diagram of the MCOD; figure 2 is a top view of figure 1, figure 3 is a section aa in figure 1.

The data center contains a standard container 1, divided by a partition 2 into two rooms: a room with equipment 3 and a vestibule 4. In room 3, racks 6 are fixed on a mobile platform 5, on which IT equipment is located, consisting of servers, data storage systems, telecommunication systems equipment (not shown in FIG.). The container 1 is equipped with a cooling system 7, a power supply system, a security alarm and access control system, a gas fire extinguishing system, an automated dispatch control system, cable and network equipment (not shown in Fig.). As the cooling system 7, a forced air cooling system (split air conditioning system) is used. The container 1 is also equipped with a screen 8, located at a distance from the ceiling and spaced from the side wall of the container 1, separating the flows of air cooled by the air conditioners and heated during the cooling of the central heating equipment. Air conditioners 7 are installed above the existing windows of the screen 8.

This design of the MCOD allows efficient cooling of the equipment due to the fact that the air entering through the air conditioners 7 into the container 1 passes through the front walls of the equipment, cools it and enters the area between the ceiling of the container 1 and the screen 8. If in some part of the rack 6 if there is no equipment, then this place is closed by a plug so that the air flow heated from the equipment is effectively taken in by the cooling system 7.

Thanks to this design, the MCOD taken by air conditioners 7 into the space above the screen 8, the air heated from the equipment is cooled

through the windows in the screen 8 again enters to cool the equipment. The proposed design of the installation allows you to cool the equipment due to the circulation of air inside the container 1 without air intake from the outside.

For convenience and safety of the placement of the overall equipment on the racks 6, they can be moved away by moving the movable platform 5, thereby freeing the passage to the racks 6.

The data center can be transported using all available means of transportation.

Simple connections to all life support systems of the center allow you to quickly deploy a data center immediately after delivery.

This development can be used both in the field of military equipment and for civilian purposes, when a mobile computing center is needed. For example, it may be oil companies that, with the help of such a center, installed on the ocean platform, will be able to analyze geological exploration data.
