DC IT Safe Configurator

A micro data center is a fully-fledged, highly available data center in a very small space - usually less than 2 m². It is often used in companies that want to protect their IT infrastructure on premises.

The DC IT Safe, our highly secure micro data center, includes all essential components such as air conditioning, fire protection, monitoring systems, access control and uninterruptible power supply (UPS). It offers maximum protection against physical risks such as fire, water, dust and burglary and can be flexibly expanded thanks to its modular design.

Our DC IT Safe is therefore suitable for small and medium-sized companies as well as for decentralized companies such as logistics companies, branch offices or healthcare organizations. It can be installed regardless of the spatial conditions - whether in industrial halls, basements or other environments - and offers a reliable and space-saving concept for protecting your IT.

The costs for a micro data center vary greatly and depend on your individual requirements, e.g. with regard to air conditioning, power supply and security measures. You can make a non-binding inquiry using our micro data center configurator. Our team of experts will be happy to advise you in order to create a tailor-made offer for your needs.

The availability classes of a micro data center are based on the standards of classic data centers and can be flexibly adapted to your individual requirements - from simple basic solutions to highly redundant systems.

With our micro data center configurator, specific options such as UPS systems (for A/B supply) or emergency power systems can be easily defined. Our team of experts is on hand to help you determine the optimum availability class for your IT infrastructure and meet your security and operational requirements.

The DC IT Safe offers certified burglary protection in accordance with EN 1627/EN 1630 with RC2 classification, effectively protecting your IT infrastructure against attempted break-ins, theft and vandalism. The robust construction of the safe, combined with solid swivel bolts and a self-locking automatic multi-point locking system, ensures maximum security.

In addition, optional access control systems such as PIN keypad locks, code card fittings or 2-factor authentication (e.g. in combination with motorized locks) can be integrated. These technologies not only enable seamless control over access to your safe, but also allow it to be adapted to individual security requirements.

Flexible and reliable solutions are available for the power supply of your DC IT Safe, which can be individually adapted to your requirements. The most important options include:

• A/B supply: A redundant power supply via separate power paths maximizes the reliability of your IT infrastructure.
• Emergency power supply systems (EPS): These systems secure the power supply even in the event of a power failure and enable the uninterrupted operation of your IT systems.
• UPS systems (uninterruptible power supply): Both internal and external UPS systems are available in various performance classes. These not only ensure the stability of the power supply, but also provide a buffer solution in the event of power fluctuations or short-term outages.

You can also expand your power supply with intelligent power strips (PDU strips) that support measurement and switching functions. These enable precise monitoring and control of the energy consumption of your IT components.

Our solutions ensure that your IT infrastructure works without interruption and can be operated energy-efficiently at the same time - even under demanding conditions.

The DC IT Safe has a modular design and offers you the option of flexibly expanding your IT infrastructure. Up to four units can be linked together, allowing you to create a compact IT room with several racks. This is ideal for companies that want to adapt or gradually expand their capacities.

Interlinking is achieved through an intelligent design that enables seamless integration of the individual safes. Additional modules such as cooling, power supply and monitoring can be easily integrated to meet the requirements of a growing company.

A special plus: expansion is also possible at a later date, provided there is sufficient space for the additional units. This means that your IT infrastructure remains future-proof and scalable - perfect for companies with dynamic requirements or decentralized locations.

The DC IT Safe uses state-of-the-art, energy-efficient cooling systems that have been specially developed for continuous operation in demanding environments. Various cooling technologies are available to choose from:

• Sidecooler DX: Precision air conditioning with Direct Expansion, based on energy-efficient inverter technology.
• Sidecooler CW: Water-based air conditioning systems for efficient cooling.
• CW Free Cooling: Systems with indirect or direct free cooling that further reduce energy consumption.

The units operate in redundant mode: two indoor and two outdoor units are available, which run in a supporting alternating or backup mode. In the event of a failure, a redundant device automatically takes over. The systems are designed for 24/7 industrial operation and use modern refrigerants such as R410A, optionally R32 or natural refrigerants.

The DC IT Safe offers a comprehensive and certified fire protection concept that meets the highest safety standards:

• Early fire detection: 19" sensors detect fire hazards at an early stage and control preventive measures.
• Rack extinguishing system: Specially developed extinguishing systems ensure immediate protection of the IT infrastructure directly in the rack.
• Certified protection in accordance with EI 90: The systems comply with strict limit values in accordance with EN 1047-2 for at least 40 minutes (e.g. temperature increase max. 50 K, relative humidity ≤ 85 %).
• Flue gas tightness: In accordance with EN 1634-3, the system also protects against flue gas ingress.

An optionally usable penetration seal system, consisting of soft penetration seals, hard penetration seals or fire protection sleeves, provides additional safety for cable entry. This robust combination offers comprehensive protection against fire and smoke and ensures compliance with the latest standards and safety requirements.

A micro data center is the ideal solution for companies looking for maximum security in a small space. The DC IT Safe offers you the following advantages:

• Space-saving design: a complete data center in just 2 m² of space.
• Maximum security: Protection against fire, burglary, dust, water and other risks.
• Modularity and flexibility: Subsequent extensions or linking of several safes are possible without any problems.
• Cost efficiency: An economically attractive solution compared to traditional data centers.
• Versatile use: Suitable for small and medium-sized companies, healthcare, logistics, branch operations and many more.

These features make the DC IT Safe a future-proof and powerful choice for modern IT infrastructures.

Comprehensive monitoring is a crucial component for the secure, efficient and strategically optimized operation of your micro data center. It allows you to monitor all critical parameters and ensures that your IT infrastructure is protected and operational at all times. The benefits of an integrated monitoring system include

• Maximum availability: faults, such as temperature exceedances, moisture damage or other events, are detected and reported at an early stage. This ensures smooth operation and protects against unexpected failures.
• Increased efficiency: Real-time data enables precise control of your resources. This means that energy consumption can be optimized while operating environments remain ideal.
• Increased security: Permanent monitoring of all relevant factors offers protection against emergencies and provides detailed information in the event of deviations.

The monitoring of the DC IT Safe also includes specific components that ensure seamless monitoring, including

• Combination sensors: Precisely measure temperature and humidity.
• Smoke and fire detectors: Ensure an immediate response to potential fire hazards.
• Water leakage sensors: Protect against leaks to prevent damage to the infrastructure.
• Temperature sensors and humidity sensors: Support the continuous monitoring of the climate in the data center.

In addition, the connection of fault messages to a higher-level monitoring system enables central and efficient management of your infrastructure. Monitoring creates more than just security: it provides the basis for operating data centers strategically by using resources sustainably and reducing long-term operating costs.
