EvoSwitch Announces Expanded Green Data Center
June 22, 2008 |
|
EvoSwitch, a Dutch carrier-neutral and CO2-neutral Data Center, today
announced that is has completed the expansion of its Amsterdam based Data
Center.
20 June 2008 - The expansion is the culmination of successfully selling
out the first phase of their data center and continued strong demand for rack
space. The new rack space consumes even less power and offers an increased
green power capacity with 5 up to as much as 20 kW.
The 2,000 square meters of additional floor surface at EvoSwitch comes right on
time. A lot of interest has been shown in our green data center in the past
year,' says Laurens Rosenthal, Innovation Manager at EvoSwitch. As a result, we
were nearing our maximum capacity. Fortunately the expansion means that we have
ample space again to serve our customers.
Data Center Investment: 9 million euros
Developing the 2000 m2 of additional space at the EvoSwitch data center is a
capital-intensive exercise. EvoSwitch has invested as much as 9 million euros in
building the second phase creating 2000 m2 of floor surface in addition to the
2000 m2 that are already available. The investment has allowed us to ensure
that the new EvoSwitch spaces are of a more efficient design, explains Laurens
Rosenthal. In the first phase, we had to deal with a number of technological
constraints due to the existing infrastructure of the building. These
constraints did not exist in the second phase, allowing us to use even more
efficient technologies.
Data Center Netherlands
One of the reasons for the increased efficiency was the use of more advanced
cooling technologies than were implemented in the first EvoSwitch building
phase. In both cases Free Cooling was used. This is a cooling concept that uses
outside air instead of compressors, but the technology used here has been
improved. We installed new Free Coolers on the roof. They have a higher
capacity but with less resistance, says Rosenthal. We expect to be able to
further increase our current energy-saving rate of more than 20 percent. In
time, the spaces completed in the first phase will benefit as well.
The new cooling system has an average year EER of 9. The EER or Energy
Efficiency Ratio represents the ratio between the cooling energy and the energy
required to generate the cooling energy. The higher the EER, the better.
Cheap Data Center
With the second phase, EvoSwitch's energy-saving rate is expected to increase
even further. We were able to realize a 20% saving in the first phase,
explains Rosenthal. The second phase will increase the total saving in terms of
power consumption at EvoSwitch.
EvoSwitch is a member of the Green Grid. This group has developed a method to
indicate the degree to which a specific data centers operations can be
considered energy-efficient and green. The method is called Power Usage
Effectiveness (PUE). The PUE value can range from 1 to 3, and the closer you are
the 1, the greener the data center. Worldwide, several market parties believe
that a value of 1.6 is the best you can achieve. But our calculations show that
we can realize an even lower PUE. This is extremely efficient and therefore
environmentally friendly, says Rosenthal.
High Density Hosting
The 19-inch racks in the new spaces have a higher (green) power capacity per
rack, thereby enabling medium and high density hosting. According to Rosenthal
many market parties including a number of big companies have already shown a
lot of interest. 'A cooling capacity of 5 kW on average for a 19-inch rack is
already fairly high, explains Rosenthal. It means that the commonly offered
power and cooling capacity in the market are doubled. Some market parties need
this capacity for medium density hosting and we are now able to deliver it.
And we can also offer high density now, up to as much as 20kW per rack.
Energy Capacity Data Center: 20 MVA
In the second phase, the number of 2.5 MVA transformers was doubled from two to
four. The data center also took two new UPSs into production, each with a
capacity of 2 MVA. In addition to the two existing 1.5 MVA emergency power
generators, another eight including a double back-up series have been
installed. EvoSwitch also recently doubled its power capacity from 10 MVA (Mega
Volt Ampere) to 20 MVA, which represents about 20 million Watts. As a result,
ample power capacity is available for the current 4000 m2 of floor surface.
19-inch Racks
Because building a data center is a capital-intensive exercise, EvoSwitch is
being delivered in a series of consecutive phases. The new 2000 m2 of additional
floor surface represent the 2nd phase. The 3rd phase of EvoSwitch is expected to
start towards the end of 2008. There is a lot of interest in the green data
center,' says Rosenthal. If the number of new customers continues to grow as it
has in the past year, I expect we will be able to start building the 3rd phase
towards the end of the year, as we originally planned.
