AEL data center enclosures are engineered for commercial, edge, and mission-critical IT deployments.
Custom-fabricated with integrated safety systems including fire-rated separation, thermal management, and UL 508A controls. Built for operators and integrators deploying purpose-built infrastructure — not consumer or DIY installations.
AEL Data Center Enclosures are NOT for:
- Home server rooms or residential racks
- Repurposed cargo or temporary structures
- Hyperscale white-space buildouts
- Off-the-shelf colocation cabinets
- Temporary event or trade-show deployments
AEL Data Center Enclosures ARE for:

- Federal, military & defense deployments
- Industrial & energy sector data infrastructure
- Telecom, broadcast & carrier hotels
- Modular expansion of existing data centers
Why Prefabricated
Traditional data center construction takes 12 to 24 months and requires extensive site work, permitting, and coordination across multiple trades. AEL prefabricated enclosures are manufactured offsite at our Santa Rosa, California facility and delivered ready for installation — cutting deployment time to weeks instead of months. Our factory-controlled construction process eliminates weather delays, reduces labor costs, and delivers consistent quality with every unit. Whether you need a single backup power room or a multi-module deployment, AEL builds right-sized solutions that scale with your infrastructure needs.
Indoor Enclosures
Indoor Data Center Enclosures — Modular Panel Systems
AEL builds indoor data center enclosures using prefabricated modular panels that assemble inside your existing facility. These panel-based rooms provide engineered separation for UPS systems, power distribution, and IT equipment — without the cost and timeline of traditional construction. Available in fire-rated configurations to meet local codes and proximity requirements. Panel-based enclosures are ideal when you need to create secure rooms within an existing building shell, warehouse, or colocation facility. Standard features include climate control integration, ventilation systems, industrial electrical distribution, and custom access configurations. All enclosures are custom-engineered to your rack layout, power density, and cooling requirements.
Outdoor Enclosures
Outdoor Data Center Enclosures — Containerized & Modular Buildings
For deployments where indoor space is not available or outdoor placement is preferred, AEL manufactures containerized data center enclosures built on purpose-built ruggedized steel platforms and custom modular structures, with engineered fire-rated separation and integrated environmental controls. These outdoor-rated units are weather-resistant, structurally certified, and ship fully assembled for rapid site deployment. Available with fire-rated construction for proximity compliance to occupied buildings. Outdoor enclosures are ideal for edge computing deployments, remote sites, telecom infrastructure, backup power systems, and facilities expanding data center capacity without building additions. Standard 20-foot and 40-foot configurations available, with custom sizes engineered to fit your site and equipment requirements.
Battery Storage Rooms
Battery Storage Rooms for Data Centers
Lithium-ion batteries are the backbone of modern data center UPS and backup power systems — but they carry significant fire and explosion risks that require purpose-built containment. AEL manufactures the Sentinel™ Series, specifically engineered for safe lithium battery storage with integrated environmental controls and hazard detection systems.
Whether you need an indoor battery room built from modular panels within your existing facility or a standalone outdoor Sentinel™ container, AEL provides compliant battery storage solutions that meet complex fire code requirements for proximity to occupied server rooms and personnel areas.

FAQS
Does AEL build prefabricated data center enclosures?
Yes, Advanced Extraction Labs manufactures prefabricated data center enclosures using both modular panel systems for indoor installation and purpose-built containerized platforms for outdoor deployment. All enclosures are custom-engineered with climate control integration and industrial electrical distribution. Built at our Santa Rosa, California facility and shipped nationwide.
What is a prefabricated modular data center?
A prefabricated modular data center is a factory-built enclosure designed to house IT infrastructure, power systems, and cooling equipment. Unlike traditional brick-and-mortar construction, these units are manufactured offsite and delivered ready for rapid installation. AEL builds both indoor panel-based enclosures and outdoor containerized units for data center applications.
Can AEL build fire-rated battery rooms for data centers?
Yes, AEL manufactures fire-rated battery rooms for data center UPS and backup power systems using the Sentinel™ Series for outdoor containerized battery storage and modular panel systems for indoor battery rooms.
