Additional steel-reinforced walls, fire protection via the combination of an early detection system + FE-25 system + double-interlock pre-action sprinkler system, backbone routers from two different vendors, redundant cooling systems and redundant UPS systems in addition to diesel generators ensure top-of-the-line security so that our servers will continue to operate regardless of external conditions.

Server Facility Details

	Each Electrical Room contains a battery room that provides protection and an adequate environment (e.g. cooling, air exchange) for the battery power banks.
	In this room, equipment can be tested to ensure interoperability, stability, security and proper long-term operation.
	The server rooms are the heart of the data center and provide security, power, cooling and fire protection for up to 40,000 servers. An access system only grants access to people on a need-to-have basis, after proper authentication. Feeds from several UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) systems provide stable, reliable power and a 4-feet high raised floor provides ample and unobstructed space for cold air from up to 9 CRAC (Computer Room Air Conditioning) systems per

	Here, new equipment can be brought in quickly and efficiently and stored safely. A "clean" storage room is an environmentally controlled space that maintains a low level of pollutants. This helps protect our servers from dust, airborne microbes, aerosol particles and chemical vapors.
	Two separate rooms provide secure space for redundant routing systems of different vendors that constantly transport data back and fourth between our servers and our high speed 20 Gbit internet connection. Data streams along at 100 Mbps between the servers connected to our network and is protected from external intrusions by redundant firewall systems.
	3 redundant chiller plants provide a continuous flow of a chilled water/glycol mixture to CRAC (Computer Room Air Conditioning) units inside the data center. Each plant has its own set of pipes and own set of primary and secondary pumps so that a failure in one plant cannot affect the others. If necessary, the initial 400 ton capacity of each plant can be doubled by adding a second chiller per plant.

	These rooms house the power distribution infrastructure, transformers, automatic transfer switches and the UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) systems. The UPS is connected to battery power banks which are housed in a dedicated room. Static switches are used to switch to a redundant UPS in case of a failure of the regular UPS.
	Initially 2 generator systems supply up to 2250KW each to the data center in case of the outage of the utility power supply. 2 independent ATS (Automatic Transfer Switches) systems constantly monitor the utility feeds and automatically start the generators in case of such an outage. Three additional generator systems are planned for the future as the power demand rises in the data center.
	These rooms contain the mechanical systems (e.g. secondary pumps, variable frequency drives) connecting the outside cooling infrastructure with the pipe system and CRAC units inside the data center. Our state-of0the-art fire detection and prevention systems are also housed here. These systems include: a very early smoke detection system, an FE-25 gas-type extinguishing system, and a double interlock pre-action sprinkler system.
