Abstract
A disaster resistant server enclosure is provided. A fire resistant outer enclosure is provided, and may be made of gypsum. A water resistant, thermally conductive container is mounted within the outer enclosure. A server is mounted within the water resistant container. A cold thermal storage device, such as a block of ice, is also mounted within an insulating cover inside said outer enclosure. When a fire is sensed outside the outer enclosure, an actuator thermally connects the cold thermal storage device to the water resistant container to cool the server during the fire.
