Nano data centres: The DC you need may be closer than you think…

When you think of a data centre, what do you think of?  A room, the gentle hum of servers, amazing structured cabling, and aisles of satisfying blinking LEDs? 

It is easy to get trapped into the DC mindset.  The mindset that a data centre is BIG, powerful and almost like your castle.  Of course, the other aspect of these data centres is the cost, and the hassle of working out where to house them!  There can also be huge challenges relating to building regulations, planning and site reconfiguration.

In reality a data centre can be any size you need it to be, and with so much compute power now available in such small dimension, with fantastic thermal efficiency, a DC could fit under your desk, or in a cupboard, and retain all of the features of a room data centre.  You can overcome all of these challenges and still have a DC that meets your needs and includes:

  • Air conditioning
  • PDUs
  • Fire detection and suppression
  • Back up
  • UPS

Believe it or not all of these can be achieved in units the size of a telephone box or smaller.  They can also be highly customised to meet your needs, whether they relate to server capacity or security. They don’t even need to be indoors and can be made secure fully weatherproof.

Take a look at our new range of Micro, Nano and Pico data centre solutions and you’ll be amazed at what can be achieved.  The new data centre that you want, or even need, may be more in reach than realised.
