that designs and builds next generation data center infrastructure and is
seeking to raise $3,750,000 USD to scale US operations.
The Qi Capsule represents the second generation of data container. To
date, several multi-billion dollar US companies utilize the Qi Capsule for
their primary data center operations. Most data center users have varying
densities, heterogeneous computing equipment, and cannot fill a
container with enough computing power to realize the promised
efficiencies. Enter the High Efficiency at All Density Qi Capsule—a
modular data center for the enterprise and a perfect home for Open
Compute Inspired Technologies made by companies like Quanta,
WiWynn, Wistron, and Delta.
Central to the Qi Capsule is the concept of placing the computing
equipment within an over-pressured, cold-air, plenum. In essence, all the
work takes place within the air handler itself, eliminating ductwork and the
associated inefficiencies. A sophisticated network of redundant, high-
efficiency, direct-drive fans controlled by pressure and temperature
sensors guarantees a constant over-pressure in the cold aisle. The cold
air source is a patented two-coil system that utilizes free cooling year
round to improve overall efficiency in combination with mechanical
cooling.
From the user’s perspective all that is needed to monitor and control the
Qi Capsule is an Ethernet connection and a browser. All control elements
and set-points are available through a simple UI. For most users with
regular loads and equipment, the built-in system configuration will work
out of the box. For unique situations, all programming can be through the
browser
For more complex integrations of multiple Qi Capsules or integration with
corporate IT systems, the Qi Capsule speaks oBix, XML, and JSON via
HTTP, allowing for easy integration using common standards. Advanced
users subscribe the Global Energy Operating System (GEOS), which will
anonymously integrate and compare multi-site Capsule data to provide
optimal control guidance for each customer.
