Challenges

The client is a financial services firm that provides asset management and retirement planning services. To support its emerging stable coin offering, the company needed a dedicated server room to house a high security HSM.

The project required a tightly controlled environment that could meet stringent security, availability, and compliance standards while fitting into a limited space storeroom on the company’s existing office floor.

However, the storeroom presented several constraints:

  • Limited space – Too small to build a conventional server room
  • Costly chilled water fan coil system – The existing cooling relied on aging pipework that is prone to leaks
  • FM200 implementation challenges – Require extensive civil work and piping, making it impractical for the confined area

SOLUTION

We delivered a complete all‑in‑one (AIO) datacenter package, iDCnano that fits within a single AIO rack and eliminates the need for separate HVAC, power, and fire protection subsystems. iDCnano is a lockable rack that houses all essential equipment including UPS, fire suppression, a monitoring system, and a top‑mounted cooling unit providing functionality equivalent to a full server room.

benefits

  • Integrated monitoring system – Real time visibility of temperature, humidity, and power usage, enabling proactive alerts without extra software.
  • Self‑contained fire suppression module – Protects equipment without external piping, meeting fire safety standards out of the box.
  • Top‑mounted cooling unit – Water free, 24 × 7 cooling that keeps the environment stable while eliminating costly chiller water loops.
  • Fast, plug‑and‑play deployment – Pre‑engineered rack and modules dramatically reduce installation time, with no civil works or pipe fitting required.
  • Space efficiency – All infrastructure occupies a single rack footprint, preserving valuable floor area for future expansion.

Conclusion

Financial institutions demand the highest levels of security, reliability, and regulatory adherence, often within dense office environments where space is at a premium. Our AIO design delivers a security first architecture with integrated fire suppression and 24/7 monitoring, satisfying stringent custody and audit requirements. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for city centre offices, and the water free cooling system combined with the UPS eliminates hidden maintenance costs, delivering predictable operating expenses.

In short, our solution provides a future proof, compliant data centre that protects high value crypto assets without sacrificing space or budget.
