SUPPLEMENT FEATURE UPS & STANDBY POWER MAKING IT WORK FOR SOVEREIGN DATA CENTRE
During the development of its new data centre in Hertfordshire, independent IT service and business solution specialist SDC (Part of the Sovereign Business Integration Group) encountered the challenge of how to overcome the common problem of structural pillars or columns when designing a data centre space. Rittal offered the approach of incorporating
the columns into the cabinets and cooling system. Fully sealing columns into cabinets and aisle containment systems can deliver improved efficiency in areas that are not conducive to efficient airflow, as well as utilising the
maximum floor space available. Completing phase two of the ground floor data
hall, comprising of a further 80 Rittal TS IT Cabinets and four Cold Aisle pods, Rittal were able to solve the problem through a bespoke cold aisle pelmet-based system. Cable management was used to good effect within the racks. Cold aisle containment technology maintains constant temperatures and precise humidity levels, which ensures that all key functions are maintained.

NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR FLOODED AIRFLOW COOLING SOLUTION
EFFICIENT COOLING
Utilising energy efficient cooling technology from Rittal has lowered PUE at Node4’s latest data centre in Northampton. Space for future growth and using the latest in energy efficient technology, is key to the long term strategy for the site. Working closely with Rittal, Node4 was able to maximise IT floor space using CoolWall technology, Cold Aisle Containment and Rittal’s TS IT racks, along with managed Power Distribution Units. CoolWall was selected over
Rittal has recently provided TS IT server racks, with a customised chimney venting solution, for data centre provider Datum, which required cost effective cooling technology when developing its flagship Farnborough facility. After research Rittal’s roof mounted chimney
module, a one piece duct assembly on top of the TS IT enclosure for airflow management, was found to be well suited with the patented ecofris cooling solution from Keysource. A reliable passive system requiring no fans or electrical connections, the chimney module
permits the hot and cold air to be separated efficiently, eliminating the hot aisle, as the exhausted heat is contained within the chimney system. Utilising Rittal chimney modules allowed the
cooling system in the room to work to its full potential, delivering a PUE of 1.2 or less, achievable even with a partial load. Dominic Phillips, MD of Datum said, “The result
is a complete alignment of our energy efficient goals with those of our clients, delivering a reduced carbon footprint and cost.”
traditional CRAC-based cooling as the larger coils increased capacity of cooling whilst driving down running costs at elevated temperatures. Designed to dramatically reduce PUE
and improve the overall efficiency of the data centre, the system offered a further benefit of separate fans for ease of maintenance. Rik Williams of Node4 said, “Working
in partnership with Rittal we were able to utilise their technical expertise and speed of supply to deliver the most cost effective solution.”
