POWER
Power to Facility
Under ground, encased in concrete from the substation to our site.
Generated Power
Essential (UPS) Power - Six 1800 KVA Hitec rotary constant power units supply up to 7.2 MW of power to the data floor with one unit redundant. Six 2250 KW Caterpillar generators backup a 10 MW Active Power UPS system with one redundant 1 MW UPS module and one redundant 2250 KW Cat generator, all without the need for batteries.
Critical (non-UPS) Power - Six 2 MW Caterpillar generators backup critical systems such as chiller plant, data floor lighting, and office space.
Fuel - 84,000 gallons capacity of diesel fuel on site w/ refueling contracts. 48-72 hours at max. load. 12 1.8MW generators with a mixture of
Power Cabling
All power cabling below floors is installed in either conduit or sealtight flexible conduit with approved connectors to all equipment.
All Systems
Supported by 24/7/365 computer monitoring and facility engineers.
COOLING
Air Handling
N+1 Chiller plant. Over 200-30 ton Lieberts provide air flow to over176,000 sq. ft. of raised floor space. Redundant piping systems for chilled fluid. Generator Backup for cooling system is provide by six 2.0mw generators.
Air Quality
Air temperature under floor delivered at 70° ± 5° with humidity at 50% ± 5%.
Water Detection
Leak detection under all raised floor.
Drains are utilized to remove any water from under floor
FIRE PROTECTION
Smoke & Heat Detection Smoke sensors above and below raised floor.
VESDA Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus - the world's leading air sampling smoke detection system-provides the earliest possible warning of a potential fire event by detecting smoke particles at the incipient (first) stage of fire.
Multi-Stage Protection Pre-action dry pipe system requires alert from two sensors, which activates pipe fill and a final stage when the temperature exceeds thresholds. FM200 Fire Suppression used in Transport and selected areas.
PHYSICAL SECURITY
Entrances All building entrances require card key access. Data Center floor and secured areas require card key and two-factor biometric authentication (finger print and iris scan).
Security Guards Guards on site 24/7/365. Active patrols both inside and outside the facility.
Closed Circuit Video Over 70 cameras cover inside and exterior of building, all entrances, alternate workspace, and data center floor.
FACILITY MONITORING
Facility Engineers Facility engineers on site and available by pager. Engineers trained to control and maintain all critical facility components.
Power Management Critical power systems are monitored and controlled by Square-D, an automated management system.
Environment Management
Data Center Air temperature and humidity is monitored and controlled by Trane Tracer Summit System.
Fire Detection and Suppression is managed by Cheetah Systems in tandem with VESDA.
