What is a Portable Data Centre?

A portable data centre, often referred to as a portable modular data centre (PMDC), is a containerised solution that is easy to transport and store. They are often deployed to provide backup for traditional data centres or in the event of a disaster, as they are able to provide network connections in areas where connectivity or power has been compromised.

What are the Benefits of Portable Data Centres?

  • Easy and efficient deployment, especially in times when speed is crucial
  • They contain the required infrastructure, resources, storage and cooling of a traditional data centre in a smaller containerised solution
  • They are often weather-proof and insulated with cooling units to control and monitor high levels of heat density from computing equipment
  • Portable data centres can be transported using standard shipping methods
  • They are a stand-alone modular solution, meaning they can be used alone or alongside any other existing equipment

Workspace Technology's Portable Data Centres:

At Workspace Technology, we offer a range of portable modular data centres to suit your exact needs and requirements. This includes our IOS Containerised Building Solutions, which is a flexible format for telecom cabins, SCIFs, and mobile and prefabricated data centres. They allow for expert portability, transportation flexibility and complete mobility, ensuring you have everything you need wherever you are. Our portable data centres are also fully equipped with all of the infrastructure, equipment, resources and cooling systems required to support or stand in for a traditional data centre.

Our IOS Containerised systems have a range of benefits, including:

  • Enhanced fire resistance as they are lined with fire-rated boarding
  • A minimum life expectancy of 20 years and beyond if they are properly maintained
  • Physical attack resistance security, as they are manufactured with stitch welded steel skins, with the option for additional expamet to be added to the inner wall lining process for further enhanced security
  • Expert portability and flexibility to the size of your operations and your particular data centre needs
  • Innovative design makes them easy and efficient to remove from your infrastructure and replace when they are no longer needed or become insufficient for your operations

All of our portable modular data centres are pre-engineered and pre-tested in our Sutton Coldfield production facility, enduring rigorous inspections to ensure they are up to the job. We also offer a range of additional services to support your portable data centre, including maintenance and remote monitoring and management.
