Facility Power
The facility power system provides power to all of the critical and non-critical
components within the datacenter. It consists of a single power path with N+1
UPSs, backed up by N+1 generators, to achieve a Tier 2 redundant
architecture.
The facility power system has a QED-2 switchboard with an 1600 amp main bus
that feeds both the IT space and facility cooling UPSs. Four 225 kVA Galaxy VM
UPSs with an additional system bypass cabinet serve as the IT space UPS, and
provide highly-efficient critical power in double conversion, ECO and
ECOnversion modes with a small footprint. A 40 kVA Galaxy 5000 UPS supplies

Facility Cooling
The facility cooling design is comprised of a chilled water cooling system in the
IT space, integrated with a single chilled water loop with N+1 pumps in the
mechanical space and N+1 packaged chiller outdoors. Altogether, they form a
Tier 2 redundant architecture.
The facility cooling contains two-648 kW air-cooled water chillers with a free-
cooling system. Economization is achieved with dry coolers integrated within the
chiller to save energy during favorable outdoor conditions. A thermal storage
system is offered as an option to provide 5 minutes of continuous cooling after a
power outage or chiller restart.
The piping architecture feeds room-based Uniflair chilled water CRAHs in the IT

IT Space
A single power distribution path from the electrical space powers the Tier 2 IT
space, consisting of 75 kW of critical cooling load and 520 kW of critical IT load,
fed by PDUs in an N configuration.
182 NetShelter racks of an average 2.8 kW per rack density are arranged in a
highly scalable and adaptable “pod” fashion. Smaller starting loads can be
supported by making adjustments such as reducing the number of IT pods or
decreasing the capacity of the UPS. Likewise, larger loads can be reached by
using a “step and repeat” approach with this design as the baseline. This
flexibility drives efficiency and defers capital expenditure until needed.
Each pod is powered by floor-mount modular PDUs. Each rack is configured
