Abstract

The present invention relates a building structure ( 1 ) intended to host computer data, comprising at least one data room ( 2 ) housing data processing means, at least one service room ( 5 ) comprising the technical components required for functioning of the data room ( 2 ), and at least one technical corridor ( 3 ), characterized in that the data room ( 2 ) is located on the periphery of the building ( 1 ), and in that the service room ( 5 ) is located at the core of said building ( 1 ).

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . Building structure ( 1 ) intended to host computer data, comprising at least one data room ( 2 ) housing data processing means, at least one service room ( 5 ) comprising the technical components required for the functioning of the data room ( 2 ), and at least one technical corridor ( 3 ),
 characterized in that the data room ( 2 ) is located on the periphery of the building ( 1 ) and in that the service room ( 5 ) is located at the core of said building ( 1 ).   
   
   
       2 . Building structure ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the data room ( 2 ), the service room ( 5 ) and the technical corridor ( 3 ) form an independent block ( 1   a ,  1   b ). 
   
   
       3 . Building structure ( 1 ) according to the  claim 2 , characterized in that the block also comprises a tertiary area ( 6 ) in which there is at least one room from among the following: an office, a meeting room, an informal area. 
   
   
       4 . Building structure ( 1 ) according to  claim 2 , characterized in that the block ( 1   a ,  1   b ) is modular. 
   
   
       5 . Building structure ( 1 ) according to  claim 2 , characterized in that it comprises at least two independent blocks ( 1   a ,  1   b ). 
   
   
       6 . Building structure ( 1 ) according to  claim 5 , characterized in that the two blocks ( 1   a ,  1 ) are symmetrical. 
   
   
       7 . Building structure according to  claim 1  characterized in that the technical corridor ( 3 ) is positioned between the service room ( 5 ) and the data room ( 2 ). 
   
   
       8 . Building structure ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the data room ( 2 ) is in a dry zone. 
   
   
       9 . Building structure ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the technical corridor ( 3 ) lies in a wet zone. 
   
   
       10 . Building structure ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the technical corridor ( 3 ) comprises at least one air treatment plant ( 4 ). 
   
   
       11 . Building structure ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the service room ( 5 ) comprises at least one element from among the following group: electric generator, cooling unit, battery, inverter, transformer, telecommunication operator or generic low voltage switchbox. 
   
   
       12 . Building structure ( 1 ) according to  claim 11 , characterized in that the electric generator, the cooling unit, the inverter, the transformer, the telecommunication operator and the generic low voltage switchbox are each located in a specific, separate service room. 
   
   
       13 . Building structure ( 1 ) according to  claim 12 , characterized in that each specific service room is duplicated within the building ( 1 ). 
   
   
       14 . Building structure ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the technical corridor ( 3 ) conveys chilled water derived from the service room specific to a cooling unit, towards an air treatment plants ( 4 ). 
   
   
       15 . Building structure ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the areas ( 6 ) accessible to operators and the service areas ( 8 ) have a separate access. 
   
   
       16 . Building structure ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the data room ( 2 ) is devoid of any load-bearing elements. 
   
   
       17 . Building structure ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , characterized in that it is in reinforced concrete. 
   
   
       18 . Building structure ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , characterized in that:
 the power network intake port,   the power distribution,   the electric distribution chain in its entirety, i.e. the generic low voltage switchboxes or inverters in particular,   the distribution of data networks,   the operator rooms,   the cooling units, and   the distribution of chilled water from the cooling units are duplicated.   
   
   
       19 . Building structure ( 1 ) according to  claim 18 , characterized in that the duplicated power network supply has separate feeds. 
   
   
       20 . Building structure ( 1 ) according to  claim 2 , characterized in that access control is ensured at least at the entrance ( 10 ) to the building, at the entrance ( 20 ) to the block, or at the entrance ( 30 ) to the data room ( 2 ). 
   
   
       21 . Building structure ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , characterized in that it also comprises a video surveillance system. 
   
   
       22 . Building structure ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , characterized in that it also comprises at least one means from among: water detection means, hygrometry control means, fire detection means, fire shield means, an inner fire break wall inside the structure, a standpipe system or an external water reserve.
