The IBM Europe’s submission 27 DC’s -15 countries –over 70 ksqm

All data centers followed the similar route forward

Pre-requisites:Strong Executive supportAwareness - training and guidelines

Monitoring - Key Performance Indicators

CO-requisites:Hardware updated Consolidation and virtualizationSoftware adaptation where needed

The (iterative) roadmap:1: Equalize the load over the DC �Eliminate hot/cold spots

2: Leak elimination �Blanking plates, brushes, containment

3: Adjust CRAC utilization�VSD or power off

4:Increase room t°�Ashrea 2008 or better

5: Free cooling or free chilling � Using increased t° settings

The Datacenter Group Amsterdam, data centre in Amsterdam, Netherlands

• Installation of an own developed cooling systems

which uses indirect adiabatic outside air cooling. This

means cooling through evaporation and no use of

conventional refrigerants. Proof of concept trials with

cooling system started in 2008. Cooling system

completely replaced in 2010.

• From the start The Datacenter Group has chosen for

the best UPS that was available, this means an UPS

with an efficiency of 97%.

• Complete monitoring of energy consumption, almost

every outlet in the building is monitored.

• C02 neutral, we purchase ‘green power’

• Installation of the latest ISO 14001 certificate to

ensure all internal procedures are sustainable.

• Active participant of the MJA-3, which is a Dutch

initiative in order to decrease yearly the energy

consumption with 2%. With an average of 30% in 2030.

• Achieved EUE (average PUE over the year 2011) of

1.16

R-iX, Intermax, and Hoogendoorn IT Services, data centre Spaanse Kubus in Rotterdam, Netherlands

• R-iX = Rotterdam Internet Exchange

- The organization has been established as a foundation on a not-for-profit basis

- Its (semi) public participants guarantee independence and long-term continuity

- Consists of three locations where location is “Spaanse Kubus” EU CoC DC certified

• 750m2 data center floor

• ISO27001 certified

• Shared co-location and private cages (260 racks, average 4kW/rack)

• Kyoto cooling (2 x 600kW cooling wheel, air temperature cold aisle: 25°C, air temperature in

contained hot-aisle: 35°C – 40°C)

• PUE cooling 2010 according to monitoring Kyoto cooling: 1.13

- According to EU CoC DC assessment over 2010: 1.27

Migration Solutions Ltd,data centre Sentry42 in Norwich, United Kingdom

• Free cooling chillers

• The water temperature is raised so that cooling is only ever required

when the ambient outside temperature is above 20°C

• Metering at every point in the electrical systems (main incomer,

primary switchgear, PDU and cabinet power strips)

• All cabinets are in a Cold Aisle arrangement

• Blanking panels in all cabinets

• 100% LED lighting throughout the data centre

• Equipment to capture and re-use the heat
