Abstract:
Deployable barriers are reversibly deployed in a data center hall to partition the data center. The hall is partitioned into an operational area, where rack computer systems are installed, a non-operational area, and a staging area where support infrastructure is at least partially installed. A barrier can be collapsed to incorporate the staging area into the operational area, thereby expanding the operational area, when rack computer systems are to be installed in the staging area. A barrier deployed in the non-operational area establishes another staging area. A barrier includes a deployment mechanism which extends through a space in the data center to enable a partition to be extended to partition the hall. The barrier can be mounted and deployed on support infrastructure, so that the deployed barrier and a side portion of the support infrastructure collectively partition the hall.

Claim (Index 12):
A method, comprising:\n incrementally expanding a portion of a data center hall used to support computing operations, based at least in part upon installation of additional rack computer systems in the data center hall, the incrementally expanding comprising:\n deploying a plurality of barriers within the data center hall to partition the data center hall into a plurality of areas, the plurality of areas comprising:\n an operational area comprising a set of rack computer systems and a set of support infrastructure configured to support computing operations by the set of rack computer systems; \n a non-operational area comprising a portion of the data center hall that does not include at least rack computer systems and support infrastructure; and \n a staging area, bounded by at least two deployed barriers and located between the operational area and non-operational area, comprising at least one additional set of support infrastructure and does not include rack computer systems; and \n \n collapsing at least one of the plurality of barriers to incorporate the staging area into the operational area, based at least in part upon installation of an additional set of rack computer systems in the staging area, such that the operational area is expanded to include the additional set of rack computer systems and the additional set of support infrastructure.
