IBM CLOUD Research Triangle Park, N Carolina
FUJITSU Perth, Australia
Big Blue’s website now resides in a new cloud computing data center, where IBM is investing $362m to build out more than 100,000 sq ft of data center space. The data center will use fresh air cooling for half the year, and features a dynamic management system that adjusts the cooling in response to conditions in the server area.
Due to open in late 2010, this purpose-built facility will span some 8,000 sq ft, including 3,000 sq ft of tier 3+ raised fl oor space. The base design will feature advanced hybrid cooling, with Perth’s climate allowing it to implement free cooling as an option for customers eight months of the year, potentially decreasing the cooling load by up to 50%. The use of ultrasonic humidifi ers will deliver further cost advantages, requiring only 20% of the energy that traditional units use.
HP WYNYARD Newcastle, United Kingdom
VERNE GLOBAL Kefl avik, Iceland
The 300,000 sq ft HP Wynyard data center became operational in February. The site will provide hosting and cloud-based computing for businesses and government. Large volumes of slow-moving air sucked in using eight 2.2-metre variable-speed axial fans service each data hall. Winner: Future Thinking and Design Concepts category – Datacentre Leaders’ Awards 2008
Leveraging the island’s climate and geography, Verne Global is building a mission-critical wholesale data center campus. Power is fed from Iceland’s sustainable hydro and geothermal energy sources, and thermal management can be regulated using 100% free cooling, utilising the low ambient air temperatures.
