7th April 2020 – To safeguard mission critical environments, SpaceDC will be deploying Vertiv’s thermal wall technology in their first facility in Jakarta, Indonesia. This approach not only helps to increase the overall efficiency of the campus, it also reduces the amount of plant space required to cool the data center. It will be the first for Indonesia that SpaceDC is featuring this advanced cooling technology.
To deliver the most efficient cooling possible, SpaceDC together with Vertiv and DKSH Indonesia, the Leading Market Expansion Services provider and the exclusive distributor of Vertiv in Indonesia, have determined that this will prove to be the most effective method to precision cool the data hall space. This approach uses cool air fed in a horizontal direction from the side of the wall into the data hall.
“As the cloud and edge become more prominent in today’s data center ecosystem, it is becoming increasingly clear that there is an evolution happening in the data center,” said John Niemann, Vice President of Global Offerings at Vertiv. “Creativity and versatility are required to meet the demands of today’s diverse facilities. In this spirit, Vertiv’s thermal wall meets the physical space limitations and energy efficiency requirements of SpaceDC while delivering reliable, facility-wide thermal management.”
“Vertiv and DKSH are proud to support the deployment of Vertiv’s thermal wall in Indonesia to enable at the same time high cooling capacity and high level of energy efficiency. SpaceDC is bringing to Indonesia an innovative way to design and operate data centers, being pioneers to adopt best in class cooling solutions,” remarked Mr Benoit Fissot, Managing Director, Business Unit Technology, DKSH Indonesia.
The thermal walls feature large coils that require lesser pressure to be applied. This design passes air across wider surface areas, and thus reduces the amount of energy needed to power them, and subsequently the data hall.
SpaceDC designs the location of the thermal walls to be placed outside the data hall to remove the need to enter for maintenance and reduces the risk of water potentially leaking in.
Darren Hawkins, CEO of SpaceDC said, “To ensure that our data center is reliable, resilient and efficient we are deploying a number of innovations into the ID01 facility. The Vertiv thermal wall is the first of several initiatives we will be announcing as we approach completion of the campus.”
