The Belgian ict provider Cegeka puts 10 million euros in the construction of a Tier 3-certified data center in Sittard-Geleen. According to my client is are datacenter the most energy-efficient of the Netherlands thanks to cooling with outside air, and the use of solar panels.
The building data center, for which the company ICTroom is turned on, will have a capacity of 750kW per module. In each module there is space for 160 racks. According to my client is the data center the most efficient of the Netherlands by the use of indirect Air2air-air cooling of the firm, GEA. This is cold outside air is used. The company claims that this method of cooling a factor of seven more energy efficient than traditional refrigeration equipment. Also going to the computer centre make use of solar panels in daylight less power from the grid to engage.
Because the datacenter is Tier 3-certified, the infrastructure is fully redundant, are carried out so that defective components without downtime can be replaced. A part of the electrical installations of Siemens, according to my client an extra-high reliability, thus reducing the availability of the data center at minimum of at least 99.98%.
Cegeka puts 10 million in the construction of the data center, in June 2015 must be operational. The company says aware a location in South-Limburg and to have chosen because it is after the acquisition of Brainforce more German and Dutch customers.
