Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) rating
POD 20c and 40c: 1.25; POD 240a: 1.05 to 1.4, depending on IT load and location
Cooling method
POD 20c and 40c: water cooled; POD 240a: HP Adaptive Cooling Technology (air cooled)
The HP Performance Optimized Datacenter (POD) is a range of three modular data centers manufactured by HP.
Housed in purpose-built modules of standard shipping container form-factor of either 20 feet or 40 feet in length the data centers are shipped preconfigured with racks, cabling and equipment for power and cooling.[1] They can support technologies from HP or third parties.[2] The claimed capacity is the equivalent of up to 10,000 square feet of typical data center capacity depending on the model.[3]
Depending on the model, they use either chilled water cooling[4] or a combination of direct expansion air cooling.[5]
