A Self-Contained Data Center is an all-in-one enclosure that packages IT racks together with their own cooling, power distribution, fire suppression, monitoring and physical security in a single unit. Requiring only power and connectivity to operate, it can be deployed indoors or outdoors in locations without a traditional data-center building, making it common for edge sites, factories and remote deployments.
