Comparing Indoor vs. Outdoor Micro Data Centers

Introduction

One size never fits all — especially when it comes to industrial IT. At NANOX, we offer micro data centers for both indoor and outdoor deployment to match your unique site conditions. But when should you choose an indoor unit vs. an outdoor one? Let’s break it down.

1. When Indoor Makes Sense

The NANOX-S is a compact unit designed for indoor use — think offices, headquarters, or server rooms. It’s perfect if you want a controlled environment, easy access for your IT staff, and minimal exposure to harsh weather or dust.

2. The Case for Outdoor Deployment

For factories with limited indoor space or sites spread across large industrial grounds, the NANOX-L and NANOX-XL are your go-to options. These rugged, weatherproof units are built to operate reliably outside — whether mounted near a production line or housed in a secure container.

3. Security and Durability

Both indoor and outdoor NANOX models come with robust enclosures, magnetic locks, and environmental controls. Outdoor units add extra weather resistance and insulation to handle temperature swings, rain, and dust.

4. Flexibility and Scalability

Outdoor units like NANOX-XL are containerized, which means you can relocate them as your operations expand or shift — no need for expensive construction.

Conclusion

Choosing between indoor and outdoor micro data centers depends on your space, environmental conditions, and expansion plans. Luckily, with NANOX, you’re covered either way — delivering reliable IT performance exactly where you need it.
