Schneider Electric Helps Internap Build High-Performance Data Center
The hybrid data center is located in Secaucus, NJ.
Schneider Electric has announced a new project with Internet infrastructure provider and long-time customer, Internap, to equip its new hybrid data center in New Jersey with a diverse array of solutions to optimize operational efficiency and reduce costs. Internap has commissioned Schneider Electric’s Data Center Service Provider Team to deploy Symmetra® Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) modules, Square D® Switchgear for protecting and controlling electrical currents, and Schneider Electric’s Building Management System (BMS) offering for reliable and independent precision control of HVAC systems. The project represents a holistic data center solution to address key market needs.
Internap, which controls 12 data centers in the United States and 16 worldwide, commissioned a new facility in Secaucus, NJ, in 2013 to add much-needed space to the company’s metro New York footprint. Over time, the facility will encompass approximately 55,000 sq ft of net sellable space and tall clear heights, as well as high-density power capabilities and in-ground high-speed fiber. Internap offers its full suite of Internet infrastructure services from this facility, including colocation, hosting, public cloud and bare-metal cloud. To aid in carrying out its vision of a state-of-the-art data center, Internap is leveraging Schneider Electric’s capabilities to provide comprehensive data center efficiency solutions that scale to fit individual needs.
