MODULAR DATA CENTER PUE 1.07
MODULAR DATA CENTER Container Park with: - EATON power infrastructure (UPS + electrical infrastructure) - AST Containers and Modular Natural Free Cooling MNFC® technology
MODULAR DATA CENTER About THOR: • - Based in Reyjkavik (Iceland). • - Hosting and Cloud Storage provider • 100% Carbon Neutral Data Center (all power generation is geothermal and hydro). • Maximum resiliency: Tier 3 • 18 x IT Container 40´ with 280 racks in total and 4MW IT power. Natural Free Cooling. • Ultra low TCO: due to low PUE and very cheap kw/h (€ 0,03), about 70% less than in continental Europe. • Redundant Fiber Optic link to continental Europe with 50ms latency.
Electrical consumption in Data Centers IT systems 38%-63% Lighting 1%-2% Air Conditioning 23%-54% UPSes 6%-13% Two areas to focus on savings Energy costs grow between 10% to 25% annually
MODULAR DATA CENTER • The challenge of Free Cooling in Iceland • Ideal location for Free Cooling: temp year round does not exceeds 24ºC. • However, very high content of sulphur in the ambience. • A study by IBM showed that direct air free cooling (even with EPA filter) damaged processors after 6 months. • Direct air intake in Iceland is not possible. • An alternative technology must be used.
MODULAR DATA CENTER • Natural Free Cooling… not only in Iceland • MNFC can provide Free Cooling up to 24ºC. • 89% of hours in Madrid are below 24ºC (we can achieve PUE 1,11). • With std. Chiller Free Cooling (CW 7ºC/12ºC) we can only use 25% of the year-hours! • Savings in a 500KW IT load Data Center can be of up to € 250k / year! • ROI is around 18 months! • The improvement is extraordinary even in non-nordic locations!
