Data Centre Banks on Star Refrigeration for Cool Solution
Explore Press Release Distribution Online (Jan 20 2012) Construction , Power and Cooling , Servers
A world leader in cooling and heating system innovation, Star replaced an existing R22 refrigeration plant with a highly energy efficient, low maintenance solution. Star has provided the banking client with a state-of-the-art data centre cooling system designed for a low carbon, cost saving operation.
Operating as a data centre since 1990 in a confidential location, the building features two main data halls each with independant power and cooling infrastructure. Earlier this year IT and computer server systems in one of the data halls were being replaced as part of a major refurbishment programme.
The existing plant had a total cooling capacity of 2,700kW and operated on R22, an ozone-depleting HCFC refrigerant currently being phased out by EU regulations.
The new cooling system features four 1,100kW chillers operating on synthetic refrigerant R134a.

Net Access Corporation, a leading provider of Internet access and data center hosting solutions in the New York metropolitan region, announced the opening of its new 50,000 square foot data center facility in Parsippany, New Jersey. This new ultra-high density data center offers clients more usable power per data cabinet than any other facility in the New York metropolitan region.
Dubbed "Parsippany II", the facility has the ability to accommodate power densities of 20kW per data cabinet compared to the industry standard 4kW to 6kW available at most other data centers. As a result, Net Access' new facility enables customers to utilize their entire cabinet, reducing the total cost per usable rack unit. It also offers customers a metered power billing model, which charges customers only for the power that they actually consume, rather than a flat price for the full capacity of a circuit.

The Planet, the global leader in IT hosting, today announced the opening of the latest addition to its Dallas D6 data center. The new phase adds 12,000 square feet to the company’s operations, bringing The Planet’s total data center footprint to 167,000 square feet. With an enhanced design that completely separates hold and cold air, the company estimates the data center's "coefficient of efficiency" will be approximately 1.5, which is below the 1.6 "ideal" ranking. The coefficient of efficiency is an EPA- and Uptime Institute-recognized measurement of the total power necessary to operate a data center divided by its critical power, which is the energy required to operate its servers.
