Adam has developed a new modular data center solution called DataBOX that uses refitted shipping containers. Each DataBOX can house up to 376U of server racks and has independent climate control, power, security and networking. DataBOX offers advantages over traditional data centers like lower costs, scalability, energy efficiency and mobility. Customers can use DataBOX for temporary data centers, disaster recovery sites, or flexible colocation facilities.

6. Description
Adam’s new modular data center is one of the most innovative, revolutionary solutions on
the market. We’ll try to give a brief description of the DataBOX, although we recommend
that you come see it in person.
Advanced modular data center in a 20-foot shipping container (6.16m x 2.59m x 2.43m),
manufactured with corrugated steel with interior and exterior anticorrosive treatments for
inclement weather, fully adjusted for use as a dedicated closure for data center services.
Reinforced floor with galvanized steel plates and longitudinal steel beams for anchoring
and attaching rack closets and climate control equipment.
Physical separation of the cold and hot corridors, with thermal insulation in the cold
corridor to maintain optimal inside temperature.
By default, the DataBOX meets the F15 fireproof standards for shipping containers, at
temperatures of over 500ºC.
By using shipping containers to create Adam’s DataBOX solution, we meet ISO 6346
standards, in addition to the ISO 9001:2000 standards with which we already comply.
All the DataBOXes are registered for shipping by sea, air or land, in case a client wants to
accommodate them in a location other than our advanced data center in Madrid.

7. Physical Capacity
8 cabinets F900 closets of up to 47U each one,
with a capacity of up to usable 376U.
Physical separation of the cold and hot
corridors in order to maintain optimal electrical
consumption. The cold corridor is 90cm wide,
optimal for the specialists’ work and equipment
placement, as well as equipment maintenance.
The hot corridor is 80cm wide.
The DataBOX has three high-efficiency technical climate control equipment units, with a
total power of 90 KW cold, using water for refrigeration and 24 fans that can exchange hot
air. Connected to extra chilling units, air condensed water chillers, highly energy efficient,
with four inverter compressors and digital controls.
The cold equipment fans can be substituted with hot equipment so as not to have to
disrupt service; in addition, each equipment unit has 2 particle filters, a flow meter, an
emergency purging and evacuation system. They can be monitored and controlled remotely
using TCP-IP protocol, and the flow and airflow can be regulated together in order to
guarantee the equipment’s refrigeration with the least electrical consumption.

8. Power Supply
Additional double electrical CTAC three-phase connection with
grounding, and double channeling electrical through longitudinal
busbars with protection connectivity elements every 50 cm. 175 KW
entrance power, and two additional 87.5 KW lines. All the protection
elements can be connected, disconnected, and modified in real time
to guarantee 100% electrical supply.
Protection of the individualized modular UPS by rack, prepared for
connection with one or two generators. UPS with automatic internal
bypass that supply electrical energy to the connected loads in case
there is a failure in the electrical supply. Intelligent management of
batteries and electronics, replaceable in real time, proactively
manageable through a network using different remote control, visual
and/or sound systems.
DataBOX interior lighting uses low-consumption LEDs so as not to
increase the temperature of the surrounding environment.

9. Control & Security
DataBOX security is a very important issue for Adam, which is why, in addition to all the
physical security measures on the property where the modular data centers are located,
DataBOX security offers the best measures and security systems for our clients, both physical
and logistical:
Six different anchoring points to guarantee they remain closed unless proper
authorization is presented.
Indoor cameras in the hot and cold corridors with remote alert and recording
systems, activated by movement and with TCP-IP access.
Temperature and humidity sensors in the hot and cold corridors.
Fire protection using NovecTM 1230 agent. It is a room-temperature gasified
liquid after being ejected from a total flooding system. NovecTM 1230 is a fire
protection agent designed to alleviate human preoccupations with security,
performance and the environment. The NovecTM 1230 agent, by 3M, is known
as “water that doesn’t get wet,” since it does not damage IT equipment when it
is in a liquid state.
Central integrated management of the control rack.
Exterior alarm signage.

Anti-vandalism/physical security: six different anchoring points to guarantee they remain closed unless proper
authorization is presented.
CTACs: double independent three-phase entrance for CETAC with grounding, both connected to modular electrical
busbars with the option of connecting electrical protection and regulation elements in real time.
Silentblocks: Silentblock vibration absorption system that allows the data processing center to be level with the floor.
Channeling refrigeration system: cold water goes in and hot water comes out, used to chill the DataBOX, without any
welded points on the entire surface, in order to prevent possible interior leaks.
Communications: entrance for 24 additional fiber optics, 12 + 12, and fiber interconnection patch panel.Piso reforzado y

12. Advantages
Adam DataBOX has added advantages over traditional data centers, since:
We have our own manufacturing process and solution design.
Their modularity and scalability allow us to limit initial investments
and adjust them to the client’s real needs at all times.
Their high energy efficiency and mobility permit a significant
reduction in electrical consumption of up to 40%, and they can be
placed in the best possible locations.
Their configuration allows them to follow your company wherever it
goes, since their location is independent, guaranteeing business
continuity.
Since each module is independent, the fact that they can constantly
evolve allows us to offer the latest technology at all times without
the need for major investments.
All these advantages directly benefit our clients, reducing the cost of placement and
communications services, rack closet rentals and the dedicated DataBOXes we offer

13. Uses & Facilities
Adam DataBOX is designed for any client that needs to house their mission critical servers at a
data center. The solution is completely modular and adaptable to each client’s needs and can
even be a solution for companies needing a server room in their own office or outsourced to a
larger data center, either as their own property or in pay-per-use service modality.
Adam DataBOX can also be the best solution for companies that:
Need to set up a data center in a short period of time (less than a month).
Need a data center at a reasonable cost, without having to make a big
investment.
Want a data center with the latest technology, without risking their
investment by having to move their location.
Need a provisional data center for a short/medium period of time in order to
conduct maintenance work at their main data center.
