A 40-foot Portable Modular Data Center on display.

The Portable Modular Data Center (PMDC) is a portable data center solution built into a 20, 40, or 53-foot intermodal container (shipping container). It can be stored easily and then deployed when needed to augment traditional data centers or provide backup functionality in the event of a disaster.

A PMDC (Portable Modular Data Center) ensures network connectivity in disaster zones where standard power and communication systems are disrupted. Typically, PMDCs include a diesel generator for power, servers, and other computing resources, along with cooling units to manage the heat from high-density computing. They also feature internet connectivity, often through satellite uplinks.

Portability

The Portable Modular Data Center is either fully or partially loaded with computer equipment can be transported using standard shipping methods. The PMDC is weather-resistant and insulated and can be placed in environments like the tundra or the desert.[1]
