Micro Data Center (MDC) is a networking hub formed by combining hardware, software and cabling. Its basically meant to connect IT and industrial networks for greater security, protection (from atmospheric factors such as temperature, heat, dirt etc.) safety, reliability and for making troubleshooting easier. So in layman's language, Micro data center is more advanced and high tech networking hub which is developed for the following purposes:-
- to simplify the complex network systems
- to reduce the limitations of existing network systems
- to provide better network integrity and security
- to simplify the process of installation
- to simplify the process of troubleshooting
- to maintain the operational time of network
- to provide the functionality of isolating networks
Micro data center is constructed in such a way that its contains servers, storage, switches, UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), backup systems and DIN rail mounted devices. A typical construction of Micro Data Center is shown in the following figure:-
