A Datacenter-in-a-Box is also known as a Micro Data Center. This technology integrates all the elements of a traditional datacenter in an ultra-dense form factor. The highest density to date was pioneered by the DOME team and demonstrated at SC17, Denver, CO, Nov 2017. [1] A microDataCenter contains compute, storage, power, cooling and networking in a very small volume. Key features of the DOME MicroDataCenter [2] are its hot-watercooling, fully solid-state and being built with commodity components and standards only.
DOME is a Dutch government-funded project between IBM and ASTRON in form of a public-private-partnership focussing on the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), the world's largest planned radio telescope. SKA will be built in Australia and South Africa. The DOME project objective is technology roadmap development that applies both to SKA and IBM. The 5-year project was started in 2012 and is co-funded by the Dutch government and IBM Research in Zürich, Switzerland and ASTRON in the Netherlands. The project ended officially on 30 Sept 2017.
A data center 64 bit microserver is a server class computer which is based on a system on a chip (SoC). The goal is to integrate all of the server motherboard functions onto a single microchip, except DRAM, boot FLASH and power circuits. Thus, the main chip contains more than only compute cores, caches, memory interfaces and PCI controllers. It typically also contains SATA, networking, serial port and boot FLASH interfaces on the same chip. This eliminates support chips at the board level. Multiple microservers can be put together in a small package to construct dense data center.
A microdatacenter is a small, self contained data center consisting of computing, storage, networking, power and cooling. Micro data centers typically employ water cooling to achieve compactness, low component count, low cost and high energy efficiency. Its small size allows decentralised deployment in places where traditional data centers cannot go, for instance edge computing for Internet of things.

Google data centers are the large data center facilities Google uses to provide their services, which combine large amounts of digital storage, compute nodes organized in aisles of racks, internal and external networking, environmental controls, and operations software. This article describes the technological infrastructure behind Google's websites as presented in the company's public announcements.
Equinix, Inc. is an American multinational company headquartered in Redwood City, California, that specializes in internet connection and data centers. The company leads in global colocation data center market share, with 200 data centers in 24 countries on five continents.
Urs Hölzle is a Swiss software engineer and technology executive. He is the senior vice president of technical infrastructure and Google Fellow at Google. As Google's eighth employee and its first VP of Engineering, he has shaped much of Google's development processes and infrastructure.
WAN optimization is a collection of techniques for increasing data transfer efficiencies across wide-area networks (WANs). In 2008, the WAN optimization market was estimated to be $1 billion, and was to grow to $4.4 billion by 2014 according to Gartner, a technology research firm. In 2015 Gartner estimated the WAN optimization market to be a $1.1 billion market.
Sun Modular Datacenter is a portable data center built into a standard 20-foot intermodal container manufactured and marketed by Sun Microsystems. An external chiller and power were required for the operation of a Sun MD. A data center of up to 280 servers could be rapidly deployed by shipping the container in a regular way to locations that might not be suitable for a building or another structure, and connecting it to the required infrastructure. Sun stated that the system could be made operational for 1% of the cost of building a traditional data center.
Sun Constellation System is an open petascale computing environment introduced by Sun Microsystems in 2007.
The Google Modular Data Center was a modular data center built from a set of shipping containers, and used by Google to house some of its servers.
Riak is a distributed NoSQL key-value data store that offers high availability, fault tolerance, operational simplicity, and scalability. In addition to the open-source version, it comes in a supported enterprise version and a cloud storage version. Riak implements the principles from Amazon's Dynamo paper with heavy influence from the CAP Theorem. Written in Erlang, Riak has fault tolerant data replication and automatic data distribution across the cluster for performance and resilience.
Wakame-vdc is an IaaS cloud computing framework, facilitating the provisioning and management of a heterogeneous virtualized infrastructure. Wakame-vdc virtualizes the entire data center; servers, storage, and networking. Wakame-vdc is managed via a native Web Interface, the Wakame-vdc CLI, or the powerful Wakame-vdc API.
A modular data center system is a portable method of deploying data center capacity. A modular data center can be placed anywhere data capacity is needed.
CtrlS is a Tier-4 Datacenter in India, headquartered in Hyderabad. It deals with large group of networked computer servers typically used by various organizations for the remote storage, processing, or distribution of large amounts of data. Large groups of remote servers are networked to allow centralized data storage and online access to computer services or resources. CtrlS belongs to the IT industry.
A cloudlet is a mobility-enhanced small-scale cloud datacenter that is located at the edge of the Internet. The main purpose of the cloudlet is supporting resource-intensive and interactive mobile applications by providing powerful computing resources to mobile devices with lower latency. It is a new architectural element that extends today’s cloud computing infrastructure. It represents the middle tier of a 3-tier hierarchy: mobile device - cloudlet - cloud. A cloudlet can be viewed as a data center in a box whose goal is to bring the cloud closer. The cloudlet term was first coined by M. Satyanarayanan, Victor Bahl, Ramón Cáceres, and Nigel Davies, and a prototype implementation is developed by Carnegie Mellon University as a research project. The concept of cloudlet is also known as follow me cloud, and mobile micro-cloud.
A micro data center (MDC) is a smaller or containerized (modular) data center architecture that is designed to solve different sets of problems that take different types of compute workload that does not require traditional facilities. Whereas the size may vary from rack to container, a micro data center may include fewer than 4 servers in a single 19-inch rack. It may come with built-in security systems, cooling systems, and/or fire protection. Typically there are standalone rack-level systems containing all the components of a 'traditional' data center. including in rack cooling, power supply, power backup, security, fire and suppression. They could be rapidly deployed indoors or outdoors or also in rugged terrains.
Epyc is a brand of x86-64 microprocessors designed and marketed by AMD based on the company's Zen microarchitecture specifically targeted for server and embedded system markets. It was introduced in June 2017. Epyc processors share the same microarchitecture as its regular desktop-grade counterparts but have enterprise-graded features such as higher core counts, more PCI Express lanes, support for larger amounts of RAM, and larger cache memory. It also supports multi-chip and dual-socket system configurations through the Infinity fabric interchip interconnect.
