A roof system including a frame, a plurality of roof panels, wherein each roof panel is connected to the frame and is rotatable with respect to the frame, and a holding mechanism for holding a first roof panel among the plurality of roof panels in a closed position, wherein each roof panel among the plurality of roof panels overlaps at least one adjacent roof panel among the plurality of roof panels, and wherein release of the holding mechanism causes each of the roof panels to rotate toward an open position in a sequential manner.

A structural grid support system adapted for transferring seismic loads to the vertical structural supports of a modular structure. The system includes larger and longer high load capacity main runners with mechanically fastened cross tees, which transfer seismic forces without failing. The structural grid can provide a diaphragm using mechanically fastened connections in a single horizontal plane without requiring additional overhead support from the roof deck, or requiring fewer such supports. The main runners may include additional connecting elements disposed within the usable space beneath the runner (e.g., ventral threaded receivers) for attaching deployment-specific equipment or hardware, such as network cable trays.

Provided is a rack, comprising: a plurality of rack units; and a plurality of lockers each housing a different respective subset of the rack units, wherein respective lockers among the plurality comprise: a first respective barrier disposed between a respective pair of the rack units; a second respective barrier disposed between another respective pair of the rack units; a third respective barrier that is orthogonal to the first barrier and the second barrier, the third respective barrier being moveably or removeably coupled to the rack; a respective volume configured to receive one or more computing devices; and a respective lock configured to secure the third respective barrier to the rack in the closed position when in a locked state.

A modular datacenter facility and a method thereof is provided in accordance with some embodiments. The module datacenter facility can be constructed with an initial set of building modules of different types of functionality. A first building module can be a data-floor building module. A first set of sidewall-connected heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (“HVAC”) units can connect to a sidewall of the modular datacenter facility and use electrical power provided by a first electrical power distribution building module to supply conditioned air into an air-supply plenum of the sidewall to cool computing systems housed in the data-floor building module. The first set of the sidewall-connected HVAC units allow for fewer penetrations in a roof of the data-floor building module, thereby minimizing an amount of leaks potentially occurring in the roof of the ceiling, and thereby minimizing risk of any damage to the computing systems.

The invention relates to a Data Center Operating System. An embodiment of the present invention comprises: a memory component that stores inventory data for a plurality of data centers; an interactive interface that receives one or more user inputs; an API input that receives data from one or more data center systems; and a processor configured to perform the steps comprising: receiving, via the API input, monitored data from a plurality of data centers at one or more locations; automatically generating, via the processor, an interactive data center floorplan that comprises the monitored data at a device-level for a specific data center; and displaying, via the interactive interface, the interactive data center floorplan in one or more views wherein the one or more views comprises detailed data for a particular rack in the specific data center.

Provided is a rack, comprising: a plurality of rack units; and a plurality of lockers each housing a different respective subset of the rack units, wherein respective lockers among the plurality comprise: a first respective barrier disposed between a respective pair of the rack units; a second respective barrier disposed between another respective pair of the rack units; a third respective barrier that is orthogonal to the first barrier and the second barrier, the third respective barrier being moveably or removeably coupled to the rack; a respective volume configured to receive one or more computing devices; and a respective lock configured to secure the third respective barrier to the rack in the closed position when in a locked state.

A power management system for a microgrid includes a base; a mast extending from the base; a wind turbine coupled to the mast; a plurality of solar panels mounted on the mast; a gasoline or diesel power generator; an energy storage unit on the base to receive power from the wind turbine, the solar panels, the power generator, and the grid; and a controller coupled to the energy storage unit, wind turbine, solar panels, power generator, and the grid, the controller optimizing operating cost, power availability and power redundancy.

The present disclosure relates to a roof mounted modular cooling unit (“RMC unit”) which is adapted for use above a unit IT structure being used to help form a data center. The RMC unit has a housing configured to be secured perpendicularly relative to a longitudinal axis of a frame of a modular unit IT structure. The housing has a cold air discharge compartment at one end thereof, overlaying a cold aisle formed within the unit IT structure, from which cold air from the modular cooling unit is discharged into the cold aisle, and a hot air intake compartment selectively located to overlay the hot aisle, into which hot air from the hot aisle is drawn. A width of the RMC unit is sufficient to substantially span a full width of the one of the equipment racks.

According to one embodiment, a data center air cooling system includes a first information technology (IT) room and a second IT room, each with electronic racks with one or more pieces of IT equipment. The system includes an air cooling unit configured to provide cooling air into an air chamber, which is configured to supply the cooling air to the first IT room. The system includes an air duct system that is configured to supply the cooling air from the air chamber to the second IT room and is configured to return warmed air from the first IT room and the second IT room to the air cooling unit. The system includes several louvers that are each configured to open and close independently and in different combinational modes to create several airflow management modes for cooling pieces of IT equipment in the first IT room, in the second IT room, or a combination thereof. The system may also include one or more fans or fan systems in the design.
