MODULAR DATA CENTER

摘要

A modular data center is constructed utilizing two building modules, wherein each module includes a computer rack disposed therein, which computer rack is spaced apart from an exterior wall to define an exterior access space and spaced apart from an interior opening to define an interior access space. The modules are joined so that their openings abut one another, the adjacent interior access spaces forming a contiguous space between the two computer racks, which space satisfies access requirements for each computer rack. The interior access space between the two computer racks may be enclosed to form an environment that can be separately cooled from the remainder of the modular data center. A method provides two building modules joined together so that the access spaces for the computer racks overlap, wherein a portion of the access space of one module forms part of the access space of the other module.
