Abstract
A mobile data storage system includes a volumetric container of a mobile data center having IT equipment operating therein and an on-board high capacity storage (HCS). A storage compartment is configured within the container and is accessible from an exterior of the container. The storage compartment includes a plurality of individual storage slots each providing a docking port for connecting a removable data storage device (RDSD). At least one RDSD is inserted into a first storage slot of the plurality of storage slots. The RDSD facilitates rapid transfer of data to the MDC from edge data acquisition systems and to a data center facility. A management information handling system (IHS) is communicatively coupled to the HCS and to each docking port. The management IHS is configured to detect insertion of an RDSD into a docking port and coordinate a transfer of data from the RDSD to the HCS.
