The Oper8 Global Micro Data Centre incorporates the traditional Data Centre Hardware, only smaller.
Making Micro Data Centre Simple and Secure
By bringing data processing closer to end-users and enabling organisations to distribute their Data Centre footprint, a Micro Data Centre can reduce costs and deployment times while increasing resilience and scalability.

About
Oper8 Global MicroDC
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 hyperconverged IT platforms
- The need to maintain existing applications or business systems locally – whether they might work in the cloud or not
- High Performance Compute (HPC) locally
- 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
A Micro Data Centre, or MicroDC, 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.
Making IT Simple and Secure
Through
High-Security Technology Infrastructure
The MicroDC is part of the Oper8 Global IT Ecosystem range of Data Centre solutions. Also check the MicroDC FlexCool solution supporting Warehouse, Distribution and Industry 4.0 deployments.
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.

For HPC, CDUs (condenser water distribution units) are required.
Data Centre Cooling
The Oper8 Global Micro is designed with a unique air conditioning system. The self-contained air conditioning unit does not require any pipework or external moto-condensing units as it is all built into the indoor unit.
Not only does this reduce the cost and speed of deployment, but it also increases security. Less external components mean less risk to mitigate.
UPS System
Oper8 Global offers a great selection of rack-mounted UPS systems from well-established, industry-leading manufacturers.
Systems are designed to suit a resilient infrastructure and offer a broad power range.
Rack Fully Customisable
Like most conventional IT racks, the Oper8 Micro DC uses 19” rack rails to accommodate standard Data Centre Hardware. To maximise efficiency of the smaller footprint, it is possible to add a further 6U to the side of the rails to mount switches, EMS, Fire Panels etc vertically. In total an additional 12U can be supported using the rails.
Fire Detection & Suppression
Protect your environment by optioning a fire detection and suppression system. Available from 1U high, the tiny device can detect fire using an intelligent smoke aspirating system and extinguish any threat by the inbuilt suppression system.
A range of suppression mediums is available to mitigate a fire risk to your IT estate.
Environmental Monitoring
Let Oper8 Global’s EMS and DCIM systems monitor the environment to mitigate risk and keep you informed as to what is going on 24/7 where ever you are.
Not only is the environment monitored, but additional hardware (UPS/Fire etc.) is also able to be monitored, providing customers with an excellent overview of their IT estate in real-time, anywhere in the world.

Testimonials
What our customers are saying
Oper8 Global’s CloudBox solution was the perfect choice for Bennett + Bennett. After years of using portable hard drives, we were looking for a solution that allowed us to access our data in a single, global namespace, along with the security, backup, and encryption that CloudBox offers, as the costs of cyber insurance continue to rise. We love finding technology teams as passionate about their work as we are.
If the worst happened and Gadens came under cyber-attack, the risk of an attacker exposing our data and that of our clients has been reduced dramatically due to the CipherTrust solution from Oper8 Global and Thales. It’s a world-leading solution that Gadens puts its trust in.
Data centres are complex regardless of size and capacity. Oper8 Global has the expertise to right-size the solution to my needs and is able to handle the total solution.
There aren’t many data centre teams that can take on and meet the challenge of extreme density HPC solutions. Delivering 115kW per rack … Oper8 Global has met the challenge.
