A computing center module (151), comprising: a plurality of containers (102), each container (102) having a plurality of side walls (102s) that are substantially (e.g. on 3 sides) fully openable with two fixed walls (102z) behind them on the two short ends having standardized feed interfaces (412) for all media and containing at least one entrance door (712t), thus leaving the container (102) unchanged; a computing device (104) within the container (102), the computing device (104) having a plurality of processors (104p); an improved reliability power supply infrastructure (106) within the container (102) for supplying electrical power to the computing device (104); wherein the power supply infrastructure of each container (102) of the computing center module (151) or the entire container (102) is individually pre-certified with respect to a reliability of the computing device (104).

Disclosed is a prefabricating and stacking combined data center. The data center is formed block structures in a multi-dimensional stacking manner. The block structures are disposed to be a fire protection layer, an air return layer, a bridge architecture wiring layer, a top-cabinet wiring layer, a cabinet device layer, and an air supply layer from up to down, which are independent from each other. Provided is a prefabricating and stacking combined data center. Operation difficulty of site construction is greatly reduced by prefabricating block structures by a factory, forming the data center by multi-dimensional stacking, and connecting the block structures with each other by splicing on site. In addition, according to different requirements of customers, corresponding ancillary facilities may be designed based on volume of an IT device, and the device and a computer room may be reasonably and effectively arranged according to the corresponding national standards and specifications.

Embodiments are disclosed of a module attachable to an electronics rack. The module includes a housing attachable to a rear part of the electronics rack. One or more pairs of laterally-running mounting channels are positioned within the housing and one or more service panels are positioned within the housing. Each of the one or more service panels is movably mounted to a corresponding pair of mounting channels, and each of the one or more service panels can be coupled to at least one electronic device to be mounted in the electronics rack. Implementing the modules to racks and data centers can be realized with multiple methods.

A self-standing data center infrastructure system includes a bottom frame and a collapsible top frame that are configured to be inserted into a standard shipping container for transport to a data center location. At the data center location the bottom frame is secured to a floor of the data center and the top frame is mounted as a pre-assembled unit on the bottom frame. The top frame is then expanded to provide infrastructure support to one or more rows of racks. Also, the racks may be secured to the bottom frame without the need for additional anchoring of the racks.

A server placement controller determines a placement location for a custom server based on infrastructure support system requirements of the custom server and based on infrastructure support system capacities at respective unoccupied slots of a server mounting structure of a data center. In some embodiments, a server placement controller may utilize a hierarchical optimization process to select a placement location for a custom server, wherein the selected placement location meets the requirements of the custom server while also optimizing use of one or more infrastructure support systems, such as power infrastructure support system, a networking infrastructure support system, a cooling infrastructure support system, or other infrastructure support systems of a data center.

A computing system includes an array of compute module racks, each compute module rack containing a plurality of compute modules and each compute module being accessible by extracting the compute module rack out of the array of compute module racks. A liquid distribution infrastructure comprising liquid coolant supply lines and return lines is arranged in a first plane adjacent to the array of compute module racks and coupled to each of the vertical racks to provide liquid cooling for the plurality of compute module racks. A power distribution infrastructure comprising power supply lines is arranged in a second plane adjacent to the array of compute module racks and coupled to each of the compute module racks. An optical interconnection infrastructure comprising optical fiber cables is arranged in a third plane adjacent to the array of compute module racks and coupled to each of the compute module racks.

A network-attachable rack-mountable computing device is housed within a shippable enclosure and is configured to mount in a rack. The device may be initialized (e.g., prepared to receive data, and an updateable electronic shipping display set to a shipping destination) by a service provider and shipped, in accordance with a displayed destination address, as a self-contained shipping unit. The device may be coupled with other devices via coupling mechanisms included in an enclosure of the device and may be mounted in a rack at a destination via mounting brackets included in the enclosure of the device. The device may be installed onto a network at the destination and loaded with data. When the device is received back at the service provider, the data is transferred from the device to a service provider storage facility, wiped of data, and prepared to be sent out again.

A cooling system for a datacenter is disclosed. An evaporative cooling subsystem provides blown air for cooling the datacenter and a repurposable refrigerant cooling subsystem controls moisture of the blown air in a first configuration and independently cools the datacenter in a second configuration.
