  • Patent number: 9572279
    Abstract: A container-type data center enabling transportation while having IT equipment stored therein, Vibration isolation table units laid on a floor surface in a storage unit of a container are composed of a lower plate and an upper plate, and multiple spring vibration isolators are fixed between the plates. The lower plates of adjacent vibration isolation table units are fixed via a lower fixing member, and upper palates of adjacent units are fixed via an upper fixing member. Two racks are loaded per single vibration isolation table unit. By adopting this configuration, even when shock is applied on the container, the vibration transmitted from the container can be absorbed by the spring vibration isolator. Thus, even when the container is transported with the IT equipment and the like stored in the rack, it becomes possible to prevent the occurrence of failures such as fluctuation of the IT equipment, fall of the equipment by vibration, or detachment of internal components.

  • Patent number: 9317335
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus calculates parameters corresponding to the data processing structure of a web system. An extraction unit 22 extracts, from operation data of a web system having capacity control parameters including a maximum queue length indicating the maximum size of a queue which temporarily stores request data and the maximum number of simultaneous executions indicating the maximum number of times the request data can be processed in parallel, an internal retention time required for the web system to process data in each number of internal retention requests which is the sum of the number of uses of the queue and the number of times the request data is processed in parallel. A coefficient calculation unit 23 applies an approximate equation corresponding to the data processing structure of the web system to the internal retention time in the number of internal retention requests extracted by the extraction unit 22 to calculate coefficients of the approximate equation.
