Patent number: 9116536Abstract: A data center inside a shipping container having computing equipment and associated devices located in its interior. The data center includes computing equipment, an internal network, an external network, power supplies, a lighting system, and a controller. The power supplies and the lighting system connect to the controller, which in turn connects to the internal network. The computing equipment connects to the power supplies. A remote computing device connected to the external network communicates with the controller through the internal network. The remote computing device receives information from the controller and instructs the controller to selectively energize and de-energize the power supplies and the lighting system. The controller may have a user interface configured to display data associated with the computing equipment and other devices and systems located within the container.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2014Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Inventors: Stephen V. R. Hellriegel, Mario L. Jaena, Brian D. Koblenz, David Louis Anderson, David Driggers, Hampton Walker Haddock, Jr.

Publication number: 20150130352Abstract: A data center inside a shipping container having a lower plenum and an upper plenum in its interior. Heated air in the upper plenum exits therefrom into a plurality of heat exchangers adjacent thereto. Air cooled by the heat exchangers travels toward and enters the lower plenum. The data center includes a plurality of carriages each having an equipment receiving portion located between an open bottom portion in open communication with the lower plenum, and an open top portion in open communication with the upper plenum. Fans inside each of the carriages draw cooled air up from the lower plenum into the open bottom portion of the carriage, blow the cooled air up through the equipment receiving portion thereby cooling any computing equipment received therein, and vent the cooled air through the open top portion into the upper plenum.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2014Publication date: May 14, 2015Inventors: Stephen V.

Patent number: 8842430Abstract: A data center inside a shipping container having a lower plenum and an upper plenum in its interior, individual computing devices, and a humidity. Humidity inside the container is controlled by a humidity sensing device that reports the humidity level to a central controller. The central controller is connected to a humidity control device and the individual computing devices. Based on the humidity level, the central controller will adjust the output of the humidity control device to maintain the humidity internal to the container at a pre-determined level. The central controller energizes and de-energizes individual computing devices depending on the humidity level inside the container and other factors associated with the operation of computing devices. The central controller is also connected to, and communicates with, an external communication network.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2011Date of Patent: September 23, 2014Inventors: Stephen V. R.
