Hall II Update

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

Work has been progressing well in our second data hall.

The raised access floor is now installed and we have 2 aircon units installed and tested.

You can see the 2 Stulz aircon units at the far end of the room. 2 more units will be fitted at that end of the room with a further 2 at the opposite end.

Hall 2 will have 6 rows of between 21 and 23 racks, giving a total of 134 racks. There is also the option of caged areas (although this will reduce overall capacity). The racks are laid out in a standard hot/cold aisle system to ensure the best airflow around the racks.

Under each cold aisle are the dual power supply tracks from our UPS and generator backed power feed. Upto 32A of power can be fed into any cabinet, with the option for a second, redundant feed in the same rack.


The FM200 fire suppression system is also being installed. Hall 2 is physically separate from hall 1, so the suppression system will operate independently as will the air-conditioning and power feeds.


If you have any questions about the datacentre or any of our products or services, please contact our sales team on 0845 123 2222 or sales@node4.co.uk
