Micro data centres for mining
Smart data storage solutions for the mining industry
Smart mining
In the rapidly evolving landscape of mining, technology has become an indispensable tool for optimising operations and maximising efficiency. Smart mines leverage advanced digital technologies and edge computing to streamline processes, enhance safety, and increase productivity.
Mining operations are often situated in remote and harsh environments, so edge computing becomes essential for ensuring seamless connectivity and efficient data processing.
However, integrating edge computing into mining operations comes with its own set of challenges:
- Limited connectivity
- Data security
- Harsh environmental conditions
- Scalability
Addressing the challenges of the mining industry with smart, edge-ready solutions
Our products have been designed to address the critical challenges of edge computing, even in remote and hostile environments.
Localised data processing
MDCs enable real-time data processing at mining sites, reducing latency and ensuring continuous operations, even in remote locations with limited connectivity.
Enhanced security
By storing and processing data locally, MDCs minimise the risk of data breaches associated with long-distance transmission.
Ruggedised design
Our MDCs are built to endure harsh environments, with ruggedised enclosures and components that withstand extreme temperatures, dust, and moisture.
Modular scalability
MDCs offer a modular architecture that easily scales with mining operations, allowing additional computing resources to be seamlessly added at a later stage.
Edge-to-cloud integration
MDCs facilitate seamless integration between edge computing and centralised cloud infrastructure, enabling efficient data storage across distributed set-ups.
Remote management
Thanks to Zella Sense, our MDCs enable centralised monitoring and control of edge computing resources, enhancing operational efficiency from anywhere.
Edge-ready micro data centres
Our cutting-edge range of micro data centres and containerised data centres is designed to meet the demands of today’s rapidly evolving telecom landscape.
Engineered for agility, scalability, standardisation, and efficiency, our solutions empower telecom providers to deploy robust infrastructure at the edge, ensuring seamless operations and unparalleled performance in any network environment.

Zella Max – disrupting the containerised data centre market
Zella Max is disrupting the containerised data centre market. While from the outside it looks like a standard container, Zella Max has a very different proposition.
The rise of containerised data centres
The old-school solutions of on-site data storage rooms no longer provide the capacity for many. The answer? A containerised, or modular, solution.
