Container data center

A container data center includes a container and a server cabinet received in the container. The server cabinet includes a rack and a number of heat dissipation devices mounted to a rear side of the rack. Each heat dissipation device includes a case fixed to the rack, a fan mounted to an outer side of the case, and a heat dissipation plate received in the case and aligning with the fan. The heat dissipation plate defines a vent. The fan draws heat air through the vent of the heat dissipation plate from the rack, and the heat air is cooled by refrigerant received in the heat dissipation plate to become cool air. The cool air flows in the container, and circularly flows into the cabinet from a front side of the cabinet.

Container data center with earthquake protection function

A container data center includes a container, a plurality of power supplies, an electric switch system, a plurality of normally closed switches, an alarm device, and a controller. The electric switch system is received in the container. The plurality of normally closed switches are connected between the power supplies and the electric switch system. Each normally closed switch is connected with a corresponding one of the power supplies in series. The controller is connected to the normally closed switches and the alarm device, configured for receiving earthquake information containing an earthquake intensity, and configured for controlling the alarm device to activate alarms and controlling some of the normally closed switches or all the normally closed switches to open when the earthquake intensity is equal to or greater than a predetermined earthquake intensity.

LIQUID-ASSISTED BOTTOM AIR COOLING OF ELECTRONIC RACKS IN DATA CENTERS

An electronic rack includes a housing to contain one or more IT components arranged in a stack, a first rack aisle formed on a first side of the one or more IT components to direct cooler air received from the cooling unit upwardly, and a second rack aisle formed on a second side of the one or more IT components to direct warmer air to the cooling unit downwardly. The electronic rack further includes a cooling unit having one or more cooling units disposed underneath the IT components to receive first liquid from an external chiller system, to exchange heat carried by the warmer air using the first liquid to generate the cooler air, to transform the first liquid into a second liquid with a higher temperature, and to transmit the second liquid carrying the exchanged heat back to the external chiller system.

FLEXIBLE MODULAR HIERARCHICAL ADAPTIVELY CONTROLLED ELECTRONIC-SYSTEM COOLING AND ENERGY HARVESTING FOR IC CHIP PACKAGING, PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS, SUBSYSTEMS, CAGES, RACKS, IT ROOMS, AND DATA CENTERS USING QUANTUM AND CLASSICAL THERMOELECTRIC MATERIALS

A system for adaptive cooling and energy harvesting comprising at least one thermoelectric device capable of acting as a thermoelectric cooler and as a thermoelectric generator, a hierarchical multiple-level control system, and electronics controlled by the control system and connected to the thermoelectric device. The electronics selectively configure the thermoelectric device in at least in a thermoelectric cooler operating mode and in a thermoelectric generation operating mode. The thermoelectric device can incorporate quantum-process and quantum-well materials for higher heat transfer and thermoelectric generation efficiencies. The invention provides for thermoelectric devices to additionally operate in temperature sensing mode. The hierarchical control system can comprise a plurality of control system, each of which can operate in isolation and can be interconnected with additional subsystems associated with other hierarchical levels. The hierarchical control system can comprise linear (additive) control, bilinear (additive and multiplicative) control, nonlinear control, and hysteresis.

Cisco Data Center Network Manager Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution

DCNM exposes a file upload servlet (FileUploadServlet) at /fm/fileUpload. An authenticated user can abuse this servlet to upload a WAR to the Apache Tomcat webapps directory and achieve remote code execution as root. This module exploits two other vulnerabilities, CVE-2019-1619 for authentication bypass on versions 10.4(2) and below, and CVE-2019-1622 (information disclosure) to obtain the correct directory for the WAR file upload. This module was tested on the DCNM Linux virtual appliance 10.4(2), 11.0(1) and 11.1(1), and should work on a few versions below 10.4(2). Only version 11.0(1) requires authentication to exploit (see References to understand why).
