I.6.3 Pod name : Parapet
What should each of the circular data center rooms be called? en:parapet
Each Lotus Green data center building structure has characteristics of:
- module
- castle
- bastion
- a parapet in a rampart of a fortification
- bulwark
- vault - tends to be horizontal orientation
- tower
- crib
- pit
- nacelle - covering of a (heat producing) aircraft engine, small boat (of a convoy of boats)
- silo - risky in that "silo" conveys a simpler structure than this
- stupa - as in Kalachakra stupa ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalachakra_stupa ) and particularly the Great Stupa of Nepal ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boudhanath and perspective view at http://monlam.org/images/boudhastupa.jpg ). Any religious significance of the structure is not consistent with the structure's purpose.
- pod - used by Sun/APC for portable container data centers
- watchtower - not consistent with function of structure
