Containerized data center lands in Manchester
Putting all the data center elements in a shipping container for easy movement and management is an increasing trend and Manchester, UK-based Utopia is using Huawei’s Container Data Center IDS1000-A 20ft 20ft ISO standard shipping container. This includes five 42U racks with power and cabling distribution , air conditioning, UPS, automated fire suppression and environmental monitoring and even CCTV from a unified management platform. It is designed for high reliability and security, fast deployment, mobility, energy-saving and cost-saving. It can significantly reduce cost of ownership compared to building additional data center capacity and is suitable for applications across a variety of enterprises as well as applicable to special mobile scenarios as it can deployed on site in less than one week. A unique anti-vibration system allows for safe transportation and high mobility.
One of the reasons for using a data container is the higher density, which saves more than 30% floor space and the IP55 dustproof and waterproof design, along with a 15 year life span.
Utopia Technology is associated with a global distribution organization that has revenues in excess of £75 million supplying data center equipment from companies such as Huawei, Bitspeed and Inveatech, and has over 50,000 sq foot of office and warehousing space in central Manchester.
