A peek inside NextDC’s S2 data centre
NextDC let ZDNet inside its second of three facilities in Sydney. Here’s a look at the 30MW facility located in Macquarie Park, 13 kilometres north-west of the Sydney CBD. ...
The Spanish telco's largest facility is based outside the Spanish capital. ZDNet was invited along to see inside.
The datacenter uses free cooling to keep the rooms at the optimum temperature.
During the winter, hot air generated by the equipment is recycled and mixed with cooler air to maintain the right temperature, while water vapour can also be mixed in with the air to reduce temperatures during the very hot summer months. Telefonica says free cooling is used for about 92 percent of the year.
