Data centre tour

Data centre specifications

Power

  • Dual, diverse A and B power supplies to each rack fed via separate UPS systems
  • Dual dedicated 11,000 volt connections via diverse feeders in private ducts and with private HV substation
  • N+1 diesel stand-by generators with continuous fuel arrangement

Cooling

  • N+1 high efficiency packaged chillers with 2N inverter driven high efficiency chilled water pump sets
  • Data floor temperature strictly maintained via hot and cold aisle configuration - cold air is blown out through a service wall and forced into all cold aisles. Servers pull cool air through their chassis from the cold aisle into the hot aisle. Hot aisles are sealed and air is then drawn directly back into the air conditioning units through a false ceiling.
