The Portable Modular Data Center (PMDC) is a portable data center solution built into a 20, 40, or 53-foot intermodal container (shipping container). It can be stored easily and then deployed when needed to augment traditional data centers or provide backup functionality in the event of a disaster.

A PMDC provides network connections in disaster stricken areas where traditional power and connectivity resources have been impacted. Generally, PMDC's come with modules for power generation (diesel generator), Servers and other computing resources. There are cooling units to control the massive amounts of heat that is generated by high-density computing resource and internet connectivity resources (often satellite uplinks).

Portability

The Portable Modular Data Center is either fully or partially loaded with computer equipment can be transported using standard shipping methods. The PMDC is weather-resistant and insulated and can be placed in environments like the tundra or the desert.[1]
