  • Publication number: 20140298741
    Abstract: A method of providing a removable building structure containing computing equipment. The method comprises providing an array of cabinets. The cabinets are formed from vertical support pillars wherein at least some of the vertical support pillars are hollow and have apertures formed along their length and arranged to enable air flow through the posts to control the temperature within the building. A roof is supported by using the array of cabinets as a modular constructional element of the building structure to provide support providing outer walls for the building. Computing equipment is placed in the cabinets.

  • Publication number: 20110173906
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a floor gland for covering an access hole provided in a raised floor structure to allow cabling to pass through the floor structure. A problem with this arrangement is that cooling air passing underneath the raised floor structure can escape through the access hole. A floor gland is provided to fit into the access hole, the floor gland having sealing means that are secured to a sealing member mounted across the open area of the floor gland at a distance from the edges of the access hole such that the sealing means extend out from the sealing member towards the edges, thereby effectively sealing the access hole to prevent the passage of cooling air.
