MeshBlox - Containerised Benefits

Containerised Benefits

Operations managers demand both lower operating costs and less labour in the management of IT site housing. DataBlox delivers massive operational benefits over traditional bricks and mortar or transportable hut facilities. Read below on how a containerised DataBlox unit can make your Operations manager's job easier.

DataBlox10 to DataBlox20 transitions

Moving equipment into server rooms and data centers can be a exhausting and time consuming process. Unpacking, building, re-packing, shipping, unpacking and installing. Using the modular racking system with DataBlox equipment can be installed and configured and tested off-site out of the facility in you IT/Comms lab. When the time is right the pre-installed racks can be moved directly into the DataBlox units and commissioned in minutes not hours or days

Cooling Upgrade - Scale with need

The DataBlox includes a unique feature of modular cooling. The whole cooling system can be removed and replaced with greater or less powerful units depending on your needs. This feature also allows companies to take advantage of future generation cooling systems that are greener more energy efficient, lowering your energy bills overtime.

Rack, centralised or site UPS configurations

Depending on your site and equipment availability need UPS configurations and capacities change. Rather than specify a fixed UPS specification, DataBlox offers three configuration choices. For transitional sites you can even bring your rack mounted UPS with you.

Where to put DataBlox

Unlike brick and mortar Data Centres or tenanted building with allocated server room, DataBlox can be placed where you need it. Careful placement of DataBlox will benefit in several key areas, operational performance, installation costs, staff access and future moves or expansions. As a component of the MeshBlox needs analysis we will assist your delivery teams with determining the best location. See how we can help place DataBlox for you.

Meeting Tier II & Tier III redundancy baseline

DataBlox is a complete high-availability - self contained server room, small data centre or advanced telecommunications room. In each application of equipment housing, availability is one of the primary goals. Measuring high availability is often a subjective and seldom proven feature. Fortunately the Uptime Institute provides the IT & telecommunications industries with a suitable baseline for determining the physical and operational features required for a facility to claim high availability. The following extract highlights the use of DataBlox within a Tier II and Tier III context.

Power Consumption minimisation

DataBlox provides an ideal platform upon which to build a high efficiency infrastructure. Combining high tech innovatine design and best of breed technologies DataBlox provides a head start for your next server room or datacentre. Modularity provides a path to easy scalability - match your power and cooling sizes to your equipment and maximise efficiency.
