Abstract:
1. A system for performing computing operations, comprising: a rack configured to rest on a floor; and a stabilization device coupled on a top of the rack and coupled, independently of the floor, to one or more additional stabilization devices coupled on another top of one or more additional racks on the floor, wherein the stabilization device comprises: a mounting portion; one or more ballast members, coupled, independently of the floor, to one or more additional ballast members of the one or more additional stabilization devices to couple the stabilization device to the one or more additional stabilization devices, independently of the floor; and one or more spring devices coupled between the one or more ballast members and the mounting portion, wherein the one or more ballast members, coupled to the one or more additional ballast members, is configured to reduce displacement of at least a portion of the rack from seismic loads transmitted from the floor to the rack to mitigate effects of the seismic loads on the rack, based at least in part upon movement of the ballast member relative to the rack when seismic loads are transmitted from the floor to the rack.
