Заключительный этап центра обработки данных Global Switch в Гонконге завершен, и теперь он работает в промышленной зоне Tseung Kwan O.
The final stage, which comprises 35,600 square metres at 58MVA utility power supply capacity, brings the total floor space to 70,228 square metres and a total power supply capacity of 100MVA.
According to Global Switch, Hong Kong is undergoing the ‘highest’ data center growth rate worldwide. As such, the company chose to position its facility close to the Tseung Kwan O cable landing station, two other major submarine cable landing stations and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange hosting facility.
Global Switch CEO John Corcoran says that his team, contractors, and wider supply chain worked through COVID to ensure that the final stage of its data center was completed.
“It is a fantastic achievement and strengthens our position as one of the leading data centre providers in the region, providing our customers with rapid scalability and a full range of cloud and managed services supported by highly resilient power and cooling infrastructure and state-of-the-art security systems.”
“We have witnessed accelerating demand in this market and in addition to completing the data centre, we have also completed major fit-outs for financial services and hyperscale cloud providers. We are delighted to support and contribute to maintaining Hong Kong’s position as one of the world’s leading financial centres, as well as serving the needs of the global digital economy.”
The data center incorporates three entry points, Mee Me Rooms, and a content and communications hub.
Furthermore, that data center has a rated Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of less than 1.3, verified by CBRE Romonet. Energy efficiency features include an elevated temperature free cooling system and high efficiency uninterruptible power system (UPS).
Thermal storage tanks provide a total of 700 cubic metres of thermal storage that ensure continuous cooling at full load in the event of a city power failure.
The company further explains, “The facility is fed by two completely independent 132kV power sources with three on-site 50MVA transformers in N+1 configuration to meet the capacity and reliability customers require for their operations.”
«Чтобы удовлетворить все требования клиентов, центр обработки данных включает в себя как статические источники бесперебойного питания (SUPS) с резервным питанием от генератора, так и дизельные роторные источники бесперебойного питания (DRUPS) с функцией резервного питания».
Литиевые батареи обеспечивают более 13 МВт энергии. По сравнению со свинцово-кислотными аккумуляторами литиевые аккумуляторы также поддерживают систему мониторинга состояния аккумуляторов, а также улучшают рабочие циклы и ускоряют время перезарядки.
Глобальное присутствие Global Switch увеличилось до 428 000 квадратных метров (4 600 000 квадратных футов) с общей мощностью энергоснабжения 427 МВА.
