The document describes hardened containerized data and command centers that are bullet and blast proof, earthquake/hurricane resistant, and self-reliant. They utilize standardized shipping containers that are retrofitted with servers, dampers, and isolation components to enable rapid deployment of secure, mobile data centers.

Containers are cheap because are made in very large quantities
Containers are made and sold worldwide by the same ISO standard
Decommissioned containers are still useful for equipment/data shelters
Used containers are available anywhere on about the same low price
Containers are rigid body boxes, which are most suitable for blast isolation
Standard off-shelf isolation, damping and tie-down hardware are ubiquitous
Generator sets, utilities, service equipment are often computerized
Its access control is container-by-container, which adds security
Emergency replacement and original deployment is quick and inexpensive
Even large data centers connect containerized ones for numerous reasons
Containers can be located in parking lots, at roof tops and on gravel bed
Data Shelters™ are self reliant and remote communicating cellular units
Data shelters help management with unprecedented flexibility
Data Shelters™ are extremely inexpensive alternatives to built ones
The containerized equipment market became on e of the fastest growing one
The military, the temporary and emergency industry cannot live without it
Data Shelters™ are fire and bullet proof, blast and quake resistant facilities
