Flexible data center systems and methods of deployment are provided. A flexible data center (100, 200) including T rows of server racks (106, 206, 306) can be deployed by constructing a number B of blocks (101, 201). Constructing each block (101, 201) can include constructing from one to a number P of perimeter structures (104, 204, 304) each housing up to a number R of rows of server racks (106, 206, 306). Constructing each block (102, 201) can include constructing a connecting structure (102, 202) connected to the perimeter structures (104, 204, 304), the connecting structure (102, 202) housing operations monitoring equipment (108, 208) for the server racks (106, 206, 306). A total integer number T/R of perimeter structures (104, 204, 304) can be constructed for the flexible data center (100, 200). At most one perimeter structure (10, 204, 304) houses less than R rows of server racks (106, 206, 306). B is equal to an integer number (T/R)/P. At most one block (101, 201) includes less than P perimeter structures (104, 204, 304). |

1. A method of deploying a flexible data center including T rows of server racks, comprising:
constructing a number B of blocks on a site, wherein constructing each block includes:
constructing from one to a number P of perimeter structures, wherein each perimeter structure houses up to a number R of rows of server racks; andconstructing a connecting structure connected to the number P of perimeter structures, wherein the connecting structure houses operations monitoring equipment for the server racks; constructing a total integer number T/R of perimeter structures comprising the number P of perimeter structures for the flexible data center, wherein:
each perimeter structure consumes up to a quantity of power;at most one perimeter structure houses less than R rows of server racks;B is equal to an integer number (T/R)/P; andat most one block includes less than P perimeter structures; selecting a number of power conditioner units for each perimeter structure according to a desired power quality; validating the number of power conditioner units for each perimeter structure via an energy optimization evaluation of the number of the power conditioner units according to a climate of the site; connecting the number of power conditioner units to each perimeter structure; providing a menu driven process for selecting a type of cooling unit from a predetermined plurality of types of cooling units; selecting the type of cooling unit from the predetermined plurality of types of cooling units according to the climate of the site; validating the type of cooling unit that is selected via an energy optimization evaluation of selected cooling units according to the climate of the site; and connecting a number of cooling units of the type of cooling unit that is selected to an exterior of a respective perimeter structure. |
