Hurricane Electric Expands Energy Efficient Colocation Facility
FREMONT, Calif. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Hurricane Electric, the world's largest IPv6-native Internet backbone
and leading colocation provider, today announced the third build out of
its 208,000 square-foot Fremont2 data center. This expansion project
secured a substantial incentive from Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E).
The newly added 24,000 square-foot space (formerly an Apple
manufacturing facility) has a power capacity of three megawatts and
employs some of the most efficient equipment and techniques available,
including:
-
Eaton Corporation's 9395 UPS system, which operates at 99%
efficiency in Energy Saver Mode
-
McQuay's Maverick II Rooftop HVAC System, featuring
variable-frequency drives (VFDs), powered exhaust, and a 100%
economizer mode
-
Cold aisle/hot aisle data center layout
"Our energy efficient infrastructure reduces our carbon footprint," said
Benny Ng, Hurricane Electric's Director of Infrastructure. "But it also
reduces our energy bills, making our services more cost-competitive."
The facility is outfitted with popular colocation amenities, including
24/7 on-site knowledgeable staff, sophisticated up-flow HVAC systems,
and uninterruptible power sources with back-up generators. The facility
also contains a state-of-the-art digital-video surveillance system that
monitors every entrance, exit, hallway and rack in the facility.
At 8:30 AM today, Hurricane Electric will hold a grand opening event to
celebrate the new data center. Mark Bramfitt of PG&E will discuss the
incentive that Hurricane Electric secured.
