Data Centre Core Service Pods

Workspace Technology’s approach to modular data centre design is simple yet effective. We provide a selection of standalone core data centre infrastructure service pods that can be combined together to create a complete Shared Services Infrastructure System. Our core pod systems include the following:

� Power Pod � Mechanical Services Pod � UPS Critical Power Pod

Core data centre service pods can be deployed and interconnected in a number of topologies depending on the ‘Tier’ rating of the data centre facility. These can be scaled to meet data centre design demands with pod capacities ranging from 160kW, 250kW, 500kW to 1000kW. Additional core service pods can be installed in parallel or in an independent circuit to support any required expansion of the modular data centre installation.

Central Modular Data Centre Pods

Workspace Technology’s Central Modular Data Centre (MDC) pod is the fundamental building block for modular data centre deployments.

The Modular Data Centre System is designed specifically to support low, medium and high density rack applications. Typically each Central MDC Pod can support 10 to 12 equipment racks with design densities ranging from 5kW to 60kW, and by deploying multiple pods, the rack count can be scaled to suit individual data centre requirements.

Containerised & Modular Pod Formats

Where ongoing portability and flexible transportation is paramount, Workspace Technology’s 2.4m wide x ISO container format offers the ideal solution.

Alternatively where installations are ‘static’ and ease of serviceability is critical, custom manufactured modular pods offer a practical alternative to ISO containers, built with widths ranging from 3.0m to 3.6m rack access in a similar fashion to a conventional bricks & mortar data centre.
