Scalable Modular Data Center
© 2010 IBM Corporation 42
Scalable modular data center (SMDC) is an innovative solution for today’s data centers
A cost-effective, high quality 500-2,5000 square foot (50-250 square meters) data center. The SMDC can be custom designed and installed in nearly any working environment in less time and at a lower cost than a traditional raised floor data center.
SMDC benefits• Rapid deployment: A fully functional, cost effective data center in 8-12 weeks• Energy efficient design: UPS systems and in-row, load variable cooling• High quality: complete turn-key solution from planning to install and start-up
© 2010 IBM Corporation 43
Scalable, modular cooling: A quick view of perimeter vs in-row cooling
Perimeter Cooling• Cools entire room and under raised floor
• Must deliver cold air at great distances
– Must overcome obstructions– Floor tiles must be strategically
placed and moved/adjusted
• Hot return air mixes with cooler room air lowering return air temperature
– Increases room air temperature– Lowers delta T across coil
• Not capable of cooling high density loads
– Effective to 2 – 6kW/rack
In-Row Cooling• Cools only the racks and IT equipment
• Close coupled, very short air paths
– No obstructions to air flow– No raised floor or floor tiles required,
all air flow at rack level
• Very little, if any, hot/cold air mixing
– Easy hot air containment (rack or row level)
– Increased delta T across coil
• Can support very high density loads
– Up to 30kW/rack and more

What does a typical SMDC infrastructure look like?
