EXPANDABLE MODULAR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY FACILITY WITH MODULARLY EXPANDABLE COOLING

摘要

An Expandable Modular Information Technology (EMIT) Facility (EMITF) includes: an EMIT Building Infrastructure (EMITBI) having an initial enclosure that includes: a base pad providing a fixed usable space area on which one or more modular IT components are placed; and a plurality of exterior walls, including at least one removable expansion wall (REW) that enables expansion of the usable space area of the EMITBI; a plurality of modular IT components placed within the EMITBI on the usable space, and which dissipate heat; and at least one air handling unit (AHU) in fluid communication with the enclosure to support cooling of one or more of the IT components within the enclosure. As the IHS is expanded to include more IT components, additional AHUs are added to the EMITF in fluid communication with a respective area of the EMITBI to provide cooling to the added IT components.
