- Generators are tested on weekly basis under load
- Tanks are kept at least 80% full at all times
Two utility feeds from independent substations
- Diverse paths to the building
- Feeds to building are encased in concrete
- Fed from two independent substations
- Separate transformers fed from both utility sources for redundancy
HVAC chiller systems
- Hosting space HVAC system includes (16) AHUs and (16) ACCUs manufactured
by Trane
- AHUs are DX type and located in the mechanical mezzanine; the ACCUs
are located on the roof
- There is adequate capacity to withstand a HVAC unit failure or an entire
bus failure
Cooling is provided by both overhead and under floor air
- HVAC systems have wetted media for humidification, VFDs for each supply
fan, exhaust fans to control building pressure, and economizers to utilize
cool outside air
- Separate Dectron outside air handling units provide conditioned air
for the hosting space
- UPS Room cooling is provided by Trane RTUs in a N+1 configuration
- Node room cooling is provided by Liebert DX CRAC units in a N+1 configuration
Network facilities - Main Node Room
- Multiple fiber providers for diversity - provides diversity and redundancy
- Each vendor can deliver additional bandwidth capacity with minimal turn-around
time
- Can be delivered using existing ‘lit’ fiber
- Fiber pathways into the Data Center are truly diverse
- Fiber enters building in steel conduit from multiple points in the building
