Switch Datacenters Announces Tier 4 Upgrade To Amsterdam Location
The company has implements adiabatic cooling in its Amsterdam colocation facilities.
Switch Datacenters has announced a significant energy efficiency upgrade to its data centers located in the Amsterdam area. Switch Datacenters implemented Air@Work’s indirect adiabatic cooling technology, yielding improved energy, water and maintenance savings. This now results in a calculated, ultra-low Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.07.
With two large Tier3+ colocation data centers located in the Amsterdam region, Switch Datacenters saw the need for a significant infrastructural upgrade to its Switch AMS1 and Switch WRD1 facilities — from Tier 3+ to an ultimate Tier 4 data center standard meeting full Uptime Institute specifications. As part of this efficiency-upgrade and Tier 4 upgrade, the indirect adiabatic cooling units from data center cooling infrastructure manufacturer Air@Work were key to achieving this level of reliability and ultra-low thus highly energy efficient PUE figure.
