Plug and boot data center
mobull features an innovative combination of containers and fully dedicated mobility technologies to provide the enterprise with as much power as it needs to innovate, to be more competitive and reduce costs –all in less than eight weeks. With its combined advantages of high density, low energy consumption and ease of installation, mobull makes it possible for the enterprise to fast-track the implementation of the best solutions available for computer simulation, for data processing and for storage.

The design of mobull solutions is inspired by the following principles:
The technologies mobull uses make it possible to achieve very high power density, with more than 227 Tflops in an area of just above 30m². A single container can accommodate up to fifteen 19-inch racks, arranged in five series of three racks:
mobull containers have minimal infrastructure requirements. Whether you are equipping a new data center, or extending the power of an existing facility, using mobull containers overcomes the need for major investments in buildings or to conform to a host of regulatory constraints.
The technologies Bull has developed offer significant advantages in terms of reduced consumption of resources, whether in terms of floor-space (thanks to its high density), electricity consumption or power used for cooling (thanks in particular to its innovative cooling system, independant of the server or storage technologies used.
mobull containers are delivered ready-to-use in about eight weeks. Requiring very little infrastructure – a power supply, chilled water supply, and some space on a car-park are all that are needed – they are up and running extremely rapidly.
Thermally insulated, air- and water-tight and robust, mobull containers can be installed inside or outside the company premises, and can even be located in extreme conditions, for example on an offshore platform. mobull can bought outright or leased, and can be configured to host new or existing systems:
