- FIG. 12B shows a top view of the housing 400
- the enclosure 400 includes a generator 402 , fans 404 A and 404 B, and condensing coils 406 A and 406 B.
- openings are provided in the housing to cause air drawn by the fans to pass over the generator and the condensing coils. In this manner, common fans can be used for the generator and the condenser coils.
- one or more condensers may be collocated with the electrical generation system, but arranged so that separate air flows are directed across components of the generator and the condensers.
- the condensers may be coupled to the air conditioning units described above to provide a source of coolant to the air conditioning systems.
- equipment In typical mobile data centers and communication centers, equipment is mounted along the sides of a trailer or shelter with an aisle located in the middle of the equipment to provide access to the equipment. Cooling is typically provided by externally mounted air conditioning units that provide bulk cooling to the trailer or shelter to cool personnel in the trailers and to cool equipment mounted in the trailer. In such a situation, the amount of cooling that must be provided tends to be greater than that actually needed to cool the equipment and the personnel, as the air is not typically circulated in an efficient manner. This can result in the need for additional power for the shelter.

Description
- This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/619,389, entitled “MOBILE DATA CENTER,” by B. Rimler, filed on Oct. 15, 2004, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- The present invention relates generally to a system and method for providing data center infrastructure, including power distribution, cooling and equipment mounting facilities for electronic equipment, and more specifically to methods and apparatus for providing a mobile data center solution.
- Centralized data centers for computer, communications and other electronic equipment have been in use for a number of years, and more recently, with the increasing use of the Internet, large scale data centers that provide hosting services for Internet Service Providers (ISPs), Application Service Providers (ASPs) and Internet content providers are becoming increasingly popular. Typical centralized data centers contain numerous racks of equipment that require power, cooling and connections to communications facilities. It is common in data centers to use raised flooring, beneath which power cables and communication cables may be run between racks of equipment and to facility distribution panels. In addition, it is common to use the space beneath the raised flooring as an air plenum to provide cooling to the racks of equipment. In some facilities, in place of, or in addition to the use of raised flooring, overhead cable ladders are used to route cables throughout the facility. These cable ladders are typically fastened to support members in the ceiling of the facility.
- It is often desirable to operate equipment within data centers seven days a week, 24 hours per day, with little or no disruption in service. To prevent any disruption in service, it is common practice in data centers to use uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs) to ensure that the equipment within the data centers receives continuous power throughout any black out or brown out periods. Typically, data centers are equipped with a relatively large UPS at the main power distribution panel for the facility. Often, the UPS is a 480 volt 3 phase unit that is selected to have sufficient capacity to meet the power requirements for all of the equipment within the facility.
- In addition to using centralized data centers, it is often desirable to provide Internet access, and other information technology services on a temporary basis at locations that otherwise have no Internet access or only limited access. For example, at major national or international sporting events, political conventions and other large gatherings, it is often critical to provide Internet and other telecommunications access for attendees of such events, and for members of the press covering such events. Further, after natural disasters, rescue workers, and insurance adjusters often have the need for mobile data centers that include their own sources of power and cooling. In addition, there is often the need at a centralized data center to provide additional capacity on a temporary basis to handle, for example, a short-term increase in need. While solutions for mobile communications and control systems have been in use by the military, other government agencies, and news organizations for some time, these systems provide solutions that are far different from typical data centers and often not compatible with standard data center equipment.
- In at least one embodiment of the invention, a mobile data center solution is provided that can address mobile or short term needs for access to the Internet, telecommunications systems and other data processing and information technology systems.
- A first aspect of the invention is directed to a mobile data center.

The mobile data center may also include a console area having a user console, wherein the console area is isolated from the first aisle and the second aisle to prevent air flow between the first aisle and the console area and between the second aisle and the console area. The mobile data center may include a generator for generating electrical power, wherein the generator is electrically coupled to the first uninterruptible power supply and the second uninterruptible power supply. The mobile data center may include a transfer switch electrically coupled to the generator, the first uninterruptible power supply and the second uninterruptible power supply and having an input to couple to a utility source of power, and wherein the transfer switch is configured to provide power from one of the generator and the utility source to the first uninterruptible power supply and the second uninterruptible power supply. In the mobile data center, the row may be substantially centered in the trailer with a width of the first aisle being substantially equal to a width of the second aisle.
- A second aspect of the invention is directed to a method of providing air flow in a mobile data center having at least one row of equipment racks disposed in the data center and arranged to provide a first aisle along a front side of the row of equipment racks and a second aisle along a second side of the row of equipment racks. The method includes drawing warm air from the second aisle into a cooling device, providing cool air from the cooling device to the first aisle, drawing cool air into at least one equipment rack of the row of equipment racks to cool data processing equipment in the at least one equipment rack, and exhausting warm air from the at least one equipment rack into the second aisle.
- In the method, providing cool air may include providing cool air from at least one cooling device, and the method may further include isolating the first aisle from the second aisle to prevent flow of air from the first aisle to the second aisle other than through the at least one cooling device. In the method, providing cool air may include providing cool air from at least one cooling device located in the at least one row of equipment racks. The method may include providing cool air from a plurality of cooling units located above the at least one row of equipment racks. The method may include providing uninterruptible power to equipment in the at least one row of equipment racks. The data center may include a console area, and the method may further include providing a separate cooling device for the console area.

FIG. 10 shows a plan view of the interior of the trailer with the equipment removed to show location of acarpet section 180 on the floor of the data center. In one embodiment, as described below in further detail, the area of the floor that contains thecarpet section 180 is a raised floor section that uses standard data center raised floor panels. As shown inFIG. 10 , the area of the trailer near the user console may also be carpeted. - In one embodiment of the
data center 100, a raised floor is included in the floor of the trailer to facilitate the running of cables between equipment in the data center. Further, cables may be run across the roofs of enclosures of the rows ofequipment FIGS. 10A, 10B , 10C and 10D.FIG. 10A shows atruss system 150 that is used in one embodiment of the present invention to provide additional support for the floor in the trailer.FIG. 11B shows a perspective view of thetruss system 150.FIG. 11C shows an end view of the truss system, andFIG. 11D shows a detailed view of one side of the truss system. In different embodiments, the truss system may be implemented using wood, steel, other metals, or a combination of these. As shown inFIG. 11A , the truss system includes numerous support pieces that provide structural strength and mounting flanges for the floor of the trailer. - In one embodiment, standard raised floor tiles (with carpeting as shown in
FIG. 10 ) are used in the areas designated 152A, 152B, 152C, 152D and 152E, and fiberglass reinforced plywood flooring is generally used over the remainder of the floor. However, in at least one embodiment, the plywood flooring may have one or more standard raised floor tiles or other access devices incorporated within it to allow personnel to gain access to the area beneath the plywood floor. Further, in other embodiments, the raised floor area may cover more or less of the floor space of the trailer. - In one embodiment, an improved mounting system for the raised floor is used which eliminates the need for the use of pedestals with the raised floor tiles creating more room beneath the floor to run cables. Each of the
areas sides FIG. 11D , an 18 gauge steel “J”channel 156 is mounted to thesides areas side 154A to 154B running at two foot intervals may be added. The cross pieces may be made of steel or some other material. The use of the “J” channel eliminates the need for raised floor pedestals. While the particular design of the raised floor described above is for use in a mobile trailer, embodiments of the invention directed to the raised floor may be used in other situations in which it is desirable to use a raised floor, including in fixed data centers. - As discussed above one or more condensers for the air conditioners may be collocated with the electrical generation system. In one particular embodiment, the electrical generation system is implemented using a Cummins diesel generator in combination with a Newage-Stanford alternator and the condenser(s) are implemented using Heatcraft coils. In this embodiment, the generator, the alternator and the condenser(s) are contained within a common sheet metal enclosure along with electrical fans that are powered from a variable speed drive located adjacent to the automatic transfer switches in the data center, which is connected to the electrical system in this embodiment. The electrical fans are used to cool the generator as well as to provide air flow across the condensers. The combination of one or more condensers with the electrical generation system in this embodiment results in a significant space savings in the trailer allowing additional “U” space to be included in the data center.
- One embodiment of a
housing 400 used to contain a generator of a mobile data center that is collocated with condensers used with air conditioning units of the data center will now be described with reference toFIGS. 12A and 12B .FIG. 12A shows a side view of thehousing 400, andFIG. 12B shows a top view of thehousing 400. Theenclosure 400 includes agenerator 402,fans coils - In other embodiments, one or more condensers may be collocated with the electrical generation system, but arranged so that separate air flows are directed across components of the generator and the condensers. The condensers may be coupled to the air conditioning units described above to provide a source of coolant to the air conditioning systems.
- In typical mobile data centers and communication centers, equipment is mounted along the sides of a trailer or shelter with an aisle located in the middle of the equipment to provide access to the equipment. Cooling is typically provided by externally mounted air conditioning units that provide bulk cooling to the trailer or shelter to cool personnel in the trailers and to cool equipment mounted in the trailer. In such a situation, the amount of cooling that must be provided tends to be greater than that actually needed to cool the equipment and the personnel, as the air is not typically circulated in an efficient manner. This can result in the need for additional power for the shelter. In addition, in such typical mobile data centers, the mounting of equipment along the sides of the shelter prevents access to the back of equipment, making it difficult to use standard data center equipment and cabling and/or requiring special blind mating connectors and cooling techniques to cool equipment designed to be cooled from front to back.
- As discussed above, at least one embodiment of the present invention overcomes drawbacks of typical mobile data centers by providing mounting and cooling schemes for data center equipment that allows the equipment to be contained in racks and cooled in an efficient manner. In one embodiment, the row of racks is substantially centered in the trailer to provide a cool aisle and a hot aisle having substantially the same width. In another embodiment, the hot aisle may have a width less than the width of the cool aisle, with the width of the hot aisle being great enough to allow an operator to access equipment in the racks from the hot aisle.
- Having thus described at least one illustrative embodiment of the invention, various alterations, modifications and improvements will readily occur to those skilled in the art. Such alterations, modifications and improvements are intended to be within the scope and spirit of the invention. Accordingly, the foregoing description is by way of example only and is not intended as limiting. The invention's limit is defined only in the following claims and the equivalents thereto.
