About
Oper8 MicroDC FlexCool
Mission critical IT, Network, Compute and IoT platforms come in many different sizes – however, all them have something in common – their mission critical nature.
Complementing cloud solutions with on-premise infrastructure is a natural fit for many organisations who require:
- Local compute and networking distributed across Warehouse and/or Distribution Centres
- Industry 4.0 systems locally controlling, monitoring and managing industrial processes
- AI, data and video analytics, and IoT data aggregation at the edge
- Cost effective, office connected, (10Gbps to 100Gbps) fibre-speed connectivity to critical compute infrastructure
- Low latency applications
- Local data storage
- A distributed mesh of local data centre capacity
- The need to maintain existing applications or business systems locally – whether they might work in the cloud or not.
A Micro Data Centre FlexCool Solution (MicroDC FlexCool), is a purpose-built data centre comprising one or more IT racks, integrated (and dedicated) cooling racks, with fully integrated systems typical of larger data centre facilities. Oper8’s MicroDCs include integrated power protection, cooling, monitoring and optional fire detection and suppression.
Private Cloud or Hyper-Converged Platform?
A mobile MicroDC that can move when needed?
Preferred location not viable for cooling pipework length?
Not interested in Data Centre Management?
Warehouse or Distribution Centre needs local compute?
Process Control can't migrate to the Cloud?
Latency and network performance challenges?
Local AI and/or IoT data aggregation?
Need local data storage with cloud backup?
Oper8 Global - IT Eco System
The MicroDC is part of the Oper8 Global IT Ecosystem range of Data Centre solutions.
Smaller options are available with the PicoDC and NanoDC, while more capacity is available through our prefabricated MDC solutions.
HPC solutions are aligned for deployment with our MicroDC range, MDC Solutions or with our turnkey HPC platforms.
Model
Oper8 MicroDC FlexCool Features
The MicroDC FlexCool can be right-sized to meet your onsite data centre capacity needs. Typical power and cooling capacity to support local servers, data storage and networking.
Perfect for locally contained AI, IoT, Industry 4.0, edge and core solutions.
Air Conditioning
The Oper8 Global Micro DC FlexCool is designed with a unique air conditioning system. The self contained air conditioning unit does not require any pipework or external motorcondensing units as it is all built in to the indoor unit.
Not only does this reduce cost and speed of deployment, it increases security. Less external components means less risk to mitigate.
Dependent on location the FlexCool system can use ducts to supply the required fresh air and vent the warm exhaust air away from Micro DC. Ducts are optional, if your Micro DC is in a ventilated factory or sited outdoors, then it is possible to vent direct to atmosphere.
The FlexCool system uses DX cooling technologies with EC motors to offer a controlled and efficient cooling package for your compute. R410A refrigerant is used and a low temperature option is available. Cool air delivery can be achieved with single or dual sided airflow dependent on the configuration of your Micro DC.
The FlexCool system is a cost effective, rapidly deployable and mobile solution that offers a unique proposition to IT cooling.
