Micro DC I-Series
Micro DC I-Series – A redefined server room infrastructure
As businesses grow their IT footprint, the demand for servers quickly surpasses available capacity, leading to the need for extra racks and supporting infrastructure. With significant investments in hardware, it becomes critical to provide an environment that maximizes performance and extends equipment life.
For smaller server rooms—particularly those with fewer than 10 racks—the conventional approach of designing and constructing a full-scale data center can be both lengthy and expensive. Companies often spend on non-essential elements such as raised flooring or heavy room modifications. On the flip side, cost-cutting measures can compromise energy efficiency and reliability.
A Micro Data Center offers a compact, cost-effective, and energy-conscious alternative—delivering the right conditions for high-performance IT systems without the complexity of traditional builds.

All details about Micro DC I-Series
Pre-Designed solution to save time and expenses
STULZ Micro DC I-Series offers a high-quality, pre-designed approach that uses 50% less floor space and can be deployed in just a quarter of the time compared to traditional server room designs. Specifically designed for hosting 1 to 8 IT racks, this efficient system reduces the risk associated with the extensive engineering required for custom installations, saving both time and money. This solution is pre-fabricated and ready to be shipped, assembled, and integrated at customer premises, providing a streamlined, cost-effective, and high-performance server room setup.
Server room in a rack
A pre-designed and pre-fabricated solution
STULZ helps you determine your server room requirements, works with you to configure the data center from the available micro data center designs, and provides complete installation and testing services. STULZ is the single point of contact and manages the project from start to finish, providing a robust “turnkey server room”. This helps customers focus on their core business and reduces the need to divert key personnel to a project they may have limited experience with.
In-rack cooling
This stand-alone solution, with one or two racks as standard, contains all the important components of a data center in a purpose-built housing. Rack, cable management, UPS, power supply, cooling, monitoring and fire protection can be integrated as standard. The cooling components are integrated in the rack as a U-mounted type at the bottom of the rack or in the side of the rack as a Zero U type, without the need for U-space.
Zero U allows more space to be allocated to servers as it does not require any U-space.
Scalability: The STULZ Micro DC I-Series offers an incomparable level of scalability that makes it possible to grow with the requirements.
