KDW recently completed the conversion of an existing
Network Operation Center into a 4,200 sf high density server
room on a raised-access floor. The Tier 2, N +1 Mission
Critical Facility was designed to accommodate the
installation of 120 high-density server racks, 16
high-density network racks, and 26 Chatsworth cooper/fiber
distribution racks. Network cabling was relocated from under
the floor to overhead, enabling easy access for connection
and patching. Electrical infrastructure capacity was
provided though a new 4000 amp distribution board to eight
225 kVa PDUs to provide 3.5 KW per rack (roughly 200 watts
per foot), along with a new 2000 kVa emergency generator.
The UPS module for this area was installed during another
project. Mechanical distribution included modification to
existing HVAC distribution systems for this area along with
the installation of five new 30 ton CHWRAC Units, new
rooftop 480 ton Chiller and Cooling Tower. Work included
programming and design for war room 1045A, and revisions to
communications design. The resulting project provides
doubled server capacity within less than half the space of
the existing data center. |
