Global digital dependency is growing unprecedentedly, and with so many aspects of our personal and professional lives now online, data centres are fast becoming one of the most important classes of infrastructure. Data is being churned out like never before and this is accelerating, so much so that it is redefining the data centre landscape. Localised data handling is needed for performance, safety, and usability and facilities capable of meeting this are in short supply.
DataQube has developed a portfolio of podular data centres for external deployments that are scalable according to requirements. Their person-free architecture makes installation possible in challenging situations where conventional builds are neither feasible nor practical due to their sheer magnitude and upfront investment. Each DataQube “pod” is fully equipped with the necessary IT, power, cooling infrastructure as well as fibre connectivity for ultra-high-speed-ultra low latency performance.
Data centres in miniature with maximum security
Each pod offers security and resilience capabilities comparable to a centralised facility but without any patching frames, networking equipment or power/cooling infrastructure to contend with. Accessing the individual pods is controlled remotely by our highly trained SOC staff to safeguard your valuable data from being compromised and to protect your IT equipment against foul play. Our outdoor pods can be built to ballistic standards, with a PUE as low as 1.03 and reduce carbon emissions to less than 250g CO2/kwh.
Key features
- Podular – Each “Pod” is a mini, standalone Data Centre
- Turnkey – Comprises the required HPC, power, cooling and storage infrastructure within a single self-contained unit
- Bespoke – Deployments are customised in line with project requirements and/or building/equipment structures
- Flexible – Multiple shape and configuration options possible
- Expandable – From 6 kW pod to x MW pods stacked next to each other
- Sustainable – 50% less energy consumption and C02 emissions
- Lowest industry PUE – As low as 1.03

Security that satisfies Government secret requirements
All our security systems and processes have been designed in accordance with current SBD standards. DataQube’s outer and inner casings are highly resilient and tamper-free due to their unique manufacture with intruder alarm and CCTV built-in for heightened security. Its IT infrastructure is protected by KryptoKloud’s award-winning cyber security monitoring software which leverages dark-net intelligence for enhanced detection capabilities. Moreover, all communication is dynamically monitored 24×7 to proactively identify possible breaches. If any malicious activity is detected, an alert is triggered, together with a comprehensive escalation process for damage limitation and control.
DataQube’s Cybersecurity Platform Assures Three Critical Components:
- Heightened security of data flows between internal/external systems and devices and information transmitted via RF or fibre
- Around the clock protection of all IT assets housed inside the unit
- Tamper-free, multilayer security mechanism to mitigate weak spots between the transmission layers
DataQube’s Native Security tools deliver the following:
- 24×7 automated vulnerability assessment of all hardware, software and firmware housed inside DataQube
- Intelligence-based security monitoring for proactive threat detection and efficient correlation of information and/or assets compromised
- Onsite team of trained security professionals to guarantee heightened protection for already robust units
