Zella Max
Scalable data centre capacity. Ready to deploy.
A modular data centre built around independent Zella Pro units, giving you a faster and more flexible way to deploy and expand critical IT infrastructure.
Containerised solution
Edge-ready
Fully scalable
The Challenge
Your infrastructure shouldn’t limit what comes next.
Traditional data centres can take significant time and investment to design, construct and expand. Zella Max provides a pre-engineered alternative that can be deployed quickly and scaled as your requirements change.
Start with the capacity you need today, with the flexibility to add more independent Zella Pro units as demand grows.
Modular by design
Complete infrastructure. Built around Zella Pro.
Zella Max brings multiple Zella Pro micro data centres together within one secure, transportable structure. Each unit retains its own cooling, power distribution, monitoring and physical security—creating a flexible system without a single shared point of failure.
Purpose-built to resemble a 20ft ISO container
Independent Zella Pro units
Integrated cooling, power and monitoring
Secure individual access
Pre-engineered for faster installation
Flexible capacity
Add capacity as your needs grow
Zella Max allows you to begin with the infrastructure you need now and introduce additional Zella Pro units over time. Each unit operates independently, allowing capacity to be expanded without redesigning the entire facility.
Add individual Zella Pro units as demand increases
Expand without replacing existing infrastructure
Maintain independent operation across each unit
Sizes

Why Zella Max
Designed for flexible, repeatable growth.
Deploy sooner
Reduce the time and complexity involved in constructing a conventional data centre.
Scale progressively
Introduce additional Zella Pro units as your computing requirements increase.
Operate independently
Each Zella Pro has its own cooling, power, monitoring and secure access.
Support multiple teams
Allocate independent units to different teams, tenants or workloads within one location.
Deploy consistently
Create a repeatable infrastructure standard across different sites and regions.
Relocate if required
Use a transportable structure that can adapt as operational requirements change.

Zella Max modular data centre - Frequently Asked Questions
How many racks can I fit in a Zella Max?
The Zella Max is available in two models: Zella Max 4 (up to 4 Zella Pro 38 units, each with 38U of rack space) and Zella Max 6 (up to 6 Zella Pro 38 units). You can’t add standalone racks, as Zella Pro units provide integrated cooling, power, and security.
Why wouldn’t I just buy a container and fit with racks and air conditioning?
Zella Max is a purpose-built modular data centre, not a retrofitted container. Unlike standard containerised data centres with basic racks and cooling, Zella Max integrates Zella Pro micro data centres with Zella Sense automation, independent cooling, and advanced security, ensuring superior uptime and scalability.
How secure is Zella Max?
Each Zella Pro unit has individual access controls and protection against physical and cyber threats. Zella Max enhances security with internal motion sensors, monitored doors, an outdoor camera, and motion-activated lights.
How do I power Zella Max?
Connect to grid power, a generator, or solar panels for sustainable operation. Zella Max is designed for flexibility in any environment.
What is the starting cost of Zella Max?
Pricing depends on configuration and model (Zella Max 4 or Zella Max 6). Contact our team for a customised quote.
How does Zella Max support sustainability?
Zella Max minimises environmental impact through its purpose-built design. Each Zella Pro unit features targeted cooling that only cools the internal space, achieving a consistent 1.2 PUE for exceptional energy efficiency. Combined with solar power compatibility and a scalable design that prevents overprovisioning, Zella Max reduces your carbon footprint and operational costs across Zella Max 4 and Zella Max 6 models.
How is Zella Max different than other containerised data centres?
Unlike traditional containerised data centres, Zella Max is a purpose-built modular data centre, designed to resemble a 20ft ISO container for seamless global transport. Available in Zella Max 4 (up to 4 Zella Pro units) and Zella Max 6 (up to 6 Zella Pro units with additional doors), it houses self-contained Zella Pro micro data centres with integrated cooling, power, and security. This enables flexible, on-demand scalability, allowing you to start small and expand cost-effectively as needs grow. Learn more about Zella Max vs. containerised data centres here.
Why doesn’t Zella Max use a traditional hot and cold aisle cooling system?
Zella Max, a purpose-built modular data centre designed to resemble a 20ft ISO container, doesn’t require hot and cold aisles like traditional data centres. Available in Zella Max 4 (up to 4 Zella Pro units) and Zella Max 6 (up to 6 Zella Pro units with additional doors), it houses self-contained Zella Pro micro data centres, each with its own independent cooling system and optional dual cooling for redundancy. This ensures that a fault in one unit doesn’t affect others, maintaining uninterrupted operation. Zella Max also includes air conditioning for comfortable personnel access, enhancing its unique, efficient design.
Does Zella Max have a hot and cold aisle?
How does the cooling work?
Each Zella Pro has its own cooling system (optional dual cooling for redundancy), ensuring independent operation. Zella Max includes air conditioning for comfortable personnel access. Unlike traditional data centres, this eliminates the need for hot/cold aisles.
Can I multi-tenant my Zella Max?
Yes! Each Zella Pro is self-contained with separate access and security, making Zella Max ideal for joint ventures or multi-tenant setups.
