A system. The system includes rack containers and a cooling fluid. The rack containers include rack units stacked in a first direction that is parallel to a floor. Each rack unit has wheels positioned on a supporting structure on the floor which enables adjacent rack containers to move closer to or further from each other. The supporting structure is on the floor and is oriented in the second direction. The second direction is parallel to the floor and perpendicular to the first direction. The cooling fluid is flowed through a flexible tube into each rack container via a cooling conduit secured at a first port on a top surface of each rack container. The cooling conduit encapsulates the flexible tube. The top surface is further from the floor than is any other surface of each rack container.

Method to increase server's density in datacenter

A method. A cooling fluid flows through a flexible tube into each rack container including a plurality of rack units via a cooling conduit that encapsulates the flexible tube and is secured at a first port on a top surface of each rack container. The rack units are stacked in a direction parallel to a floor. The cooling conduit includes a first segment, a second segment, and a third segment. The first segment is linked to, perpendicular to, and in direct physical contact with, the second segment through a first articulation. The second segment is linked to, parallel to, and in direct physical contact with, the third segment through a second articulation. The first and second articulations are configured to rotate horizontally in a plane parallel to the floor to enable the flexible tube to maintain smooth contact with the top surface of each rack container.

The rack units are stacked in a direction parallel to a floor. Each rack unit includes at least one heat generating device. Each heat generating device is configured to generate heat while in operation. The top surface is further from the floor than is any other surface of each rack container. The cooling fluid is configured to be heated by absorbing heat from the at least one heat generating device. An exhaust conduit is secured on the top surface of each rack container to allow the heated cooling fluid to be exhausted from each rack container via the exhaust conduit.

Each rack unit includes at least one heat generating device configured to generate heat while in operation. Each rack container is equipped with wheels positioned on a supporting structure to enable the wheels to move along the supporting structure in a second direction which enables adjacent rack containers to move closer to or further from each other. The second direction is parallel to the floor and perpendicular to the first direction. The supporting structure is on the floor and oriented in the second direction. The cooling conduit is secured on a top surface of each rack container to allow a cooling fluid to flow into each rack container and be heated by absorbing heat from the at least one heat generating device.

System to increase server'S density in datacenter

A method, computer program, and system for delivering digital content to a user interface. A method according to an embodiment includes: generating a starting content on the user interface including at least one clickable content, each of the at least one clickable content being previously associated with a first key; upon selection of a clickable content associated with a first key, determining a second key, associated with a destination content, from the first key; determining an executable asset program from the second key, an execution of the asset program generating the display of a predefined asset content; attaching the second key to the executable asset program according to a hiding mechanism; executing the executable asset program to display the predefined asset content, and releasing the second key during the execution of the program.

Method and system for delivering digital content

A structural configuration which includes a computer support structure having at least one module supporting a computer server disposed therein, and methods for connecting servers and using a computer support structure. Each module includes at least one support member separating the module from each adjacent module. The support member is configured to simultaneously conduct both power and data to a computer server located in the module. The method for connecting servers includes placing a first server inside a first module which includes a first structural member configured to conduct electrical power and data to the first server. A second server is placed inside a second module which includes a second structural member. The second module is placed on top of the first module. The first member supports the second module and separates the second module from the first module, resulting in the first member connecting to the second member.
