At least one of the plenums can supply air to a computer room. | 10-06-2011 |
20110307102 | Modular System For Data Center - A modular computing system for a data center includes one or more data center modules including rack-mounted computer systems. An electrical module is coupled to the data center modules and provides electrical power to computer systems in the data center modules. One or more air handling modules are coupled to the data center modules. The data center module may include two pre-fabricated portions, each portion including a row of racks of computer systems. The two computing module portions of the data center module may combine to form a computing space when coupled to one another. | 12-15-2011 |
20140059945 | EXPANDABLE DATA CENTER WITH SIDE MODULES - Enlarging a computing room includes moving a movable wall of a computing room away from one or more other walls of the computing room such that a gap is created in an expansion zone between the movable wall and the other walls. Side modules are coupled in the gaps between the movable wall and the other walls such that the side modules, the movable wall, and the other walls define an enlarged computing room that includes the expansion zone. | 03-06-2014 |
20140059946 | EXPANDABLE DATA CENTER WITH MOVABLE WALL - A data center includes a floor that supports rack computing systems and walls that enclose a computing room. The computing room holds the rack computing systems. One of the walls is a movable wall. The movable wall translates relative to the other walls to increase or decrease the size of the computing room. | 03-06-2014 |
20140088979 | PROVIDING SYSTEM RESOURCES WITH SECURE CONTAINMENT UNITS - A system for providing resources to customers includes racks, sub-rack level secure containment units in the racks, and a provisioning control system. The sub-rack level secure containment units each enclose system resources. The racks hold two or more of the sub-rack level secure containment units. For each customer, the provisioning control system may provision a set of sub-rack level secure containment units to the customer. The provisioning control system may monitor, and create a record of, events of physical access to the system resources in each customer's set of sub-rack level secure containment units. | 03-27-2014 |

20140238705 | FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM FOR SUB-FLOOR SPACE - A system includes a raised floor, a sub-floor space below the raised floor, electrical components in the sub-floor space, and a fire suppression device coupled to the raised floor. The fire suppression device dispenses fire suppression material the electrical components in the sub-floor space. | 08-28-2014 |
20140326436 | CARRIER WITH ADJUSTABLE HEAT REMOVAL ELEMENTS - A system for removing heat from a computing device includes a carrier and one or more heat removal elements. The carrier includes a carrier surface having a carrier surface pattern. The carrier surface pattern includes coupling portions. The coupling portions of the carrier surface pattern selectively couple, at different locations on the pattern, the heat removal elements to the carrier. The heat removal elements conduct heat from heat producing components of the computing device to the carrier. The carrier conducts heat away from the heat removal elements. | 11-06-2014 |
20140340842 | COOLING SYSTEM WITH DESICCANT DEHUMIDIFICATION - A system for removing heat from electrical systems includes a dehumidification device including a desiccant, an evaporative cooling device, and air moving devices, and an air flow control devices. The air moving device moves air through the dehumidification device, the evaporative cooling device, and the electrical systems. The air flow control device controls a rate of flow of through the dehumidification device | 11-20-2014 |
20150061384 | Shared Backup Power For Data Centers - In a data center having multiple resource zones, each of the zones has an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) and associated power storage elements such as batteries. A power bus may be provided between the resource zones to connect the outputs of the power storage elements of the resource zones. The power storage elements may thereby be shared between the UPS's so that an individual resource zone may be operated for a longer duration under anomalous conditions. | 03-05-2015 |
