Shielded IT Containers for decentralized Data Centers

Containerized data centers enable the rapid and flexible deployment of IT infrastructure. At the same time, such systems can be very effectively combined with shielding technologies. In DC IT Container Shielding, the shielding structure is integrated directly into the container architecture. 

This creates a closed protective environment for the IT systems operated inside.
Shielding in DC IT Containers is particularly suitable for decentralized infrastructure locations, edge data centers, or mobile IT applications.

Typical areas of application

Container solutions are particularly used wherever infrastructure needs to be deployed flexibly:

  • Edge data centers and decentralized infrastructure locations
  • Mobile IT infrastructure
  • ibm-security
    • Critical applications, particularly in the fields of security, military, and defense

Your benefits with DC IT Shielding Room

location

Ideal for decentralized IT infrastructure

DC IT Container shielding enables protected IT environments even at remote or temporary locations.

Fast implementation

The modular design allows rapid planning, delivery, and commissioning of the infrastructure.

Reduced maintenance requirements

Neither the shielded room, nor the filter systems, nor any other components require regular maintenance; only the door needs to be serviced once a year. This significantly reduces both effort and operating costs.

Structure of shielded containers

The metallic outer structure of a container provides the ideal basis for a continuous shielding enclosure. On this basis, electromagnetic shielding can be efficiently integrated into the system architecture. High-quality galvanized steel plates with a material thickness of approximately two millimeters provide high mechanical stability and reliable shielding performance.

To ensure that the protective function remains permanently effective, all openings are implemented in a technically controlled manner. Only the precise interaction of all components creates a continuously conductive structure.

Depending on project requirements, DC IT shielding can be implemented in different construction methods – always with the goal of ensuring reliable and long-lasting electromagnetic shielding.

Modular panel systems

Prefabricated modules are bolted together and electrically connected via special contact surfaces. This creates a uniform and flexible shielding structure.

Welded steel constructions

For particularly demanding requirements, steel panels can be welded directly together. This construction method is especially suitable for demanding environments or industrial applications.

Load-bearing steel structure

For larger spaces, an independent steel structure can additionally be used. This allows a load-bearing structure independent of the building and can support additional loads.

Shielding components

A shielded container integrates various technical components that are precisely coordinated so that infrastructure can be safely integrated without compromising the shielding effectiveness.

A fully enclosed cell provides a stable and secure environment for continuous shielding and reliably prevents electromagnetic interference from entering or exiting.

Shielded doors consist of a metallic construction with special contact mechanisms that create a continuous conductive connection to the shielding structure when closed. During opening and closing, the contact surfaces clean themselves automatically, ensuring permanently reliable operation.

Depending on the application, different door types can be used, such as hinged or sliding doors.

Ventilation must also be integrated into the shielding concept. For this purpose, special honeycomb ventilation elements are used. These consist of a structure of metallic waveguides that allow airflow while attenuating electromagnetic signals.

Power, data, and media lines must also be routed through the shielding structure in a controlled manner. For this purpose, special feedthroughs or so-called feed-through panels are used. These allow for the integration of power and data cables without compromising the shielding effectiveness.

Surface shielding

Depending on the requirements, different materials can be used for surface shielding:

Steel sheet cabin

The interior of a metal cabinet with a bolted panel, six connections and sturdy struts, finished to a high standard with clean, precise workmanship.
  • Shielding cabins made of 2 mm galvanized steel form a closed Faraday structure and reliably protect against electromagnetic radiation across high frequency ranges
  • Prefabricated steel modules allow the cabin to be installed quickly and adapted or expanded to meet individual room and project requirements
  • Corrosion-protected steel sheets and precisely manufactured connection systems ensure high stability, long-term tightness, and reliable operation in daily use
     

Copper foil

Kupferfolie
  • Copper foil with a thickness of 0.2–0.3 mm achieves shielding attenuation of >100 dB in the frequency range from 30 MHz to 10 GHz.
  • Continuous, lead-free soft soldering creates a closed and particularly dense shielding enclosure.
  • The tightly soldered copper construction simultaneously acts as a reliable vapor barrier from a building physics perspective.
     

Verified shielding performance

Our shielding solutions provide tested and guaranteed shielding performance. Each solution is validated through precise shielding attenuation measurements (verification measurement and acceptance measurement) conducted by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI).
