Zella Max Frequently Asked Questions

How many racks can I fit in a Zella Max?

You can fit up to three Zella Pro 38 in the 10ft Zella Max, up to six Zella Pro 38 in the 20ft Zella Max and up to twelve Zella Pro 38 in the 40ft Zella Max.

How is Zella Max different than other containerised data centres?

The Zella Max is a 10ft, 20ft or 40ft containerised data centre, an enclosure for your Zella Pro 38 micro data centres. As each Zella Pro is self-contained, you can start with just one and then add more if and when you need them. This means you can reduce your initial investment by up to 80%.

Why wouldn’t I just buy a container and fit with racks and aircon?

Because the Zella Max is an enclosure for your Zella Pro micro data centres, and the Zella Pro is much more than just a rack with cooling.

The Zella Max is also equipped with air conditioning to allow personnel to access the equipment with comfort.

How secure is the Zella Max?

The Zella Max is also equipped with air conditioning to allow personnel to access the equipment with comfort.

Does the Zella Max have fire control?

The Zella Max is an enclosure for your Zella Pro micro data centres. Each Zella Pro is self-contained and can be fitted with a Pyrorack rack mounted fire protection.
