Data Centers, a large group of
networked computer servers typically used by organizations for the remote
storage, processing, or distribution of large amounts of data, are usually
three floors facilities. The Intergate Manhattan however, built by Sabey Data
Center company, located in New York City, with 13 colocation data centers floors
is de facto, the World’s Tallest Data Center.
How power is provided to such an incredible facility?
The power supply of this amazing
building (which can contain a total of 24 generators) is assured by 4 CAT C175 generators sets (of 3MW capacity each).
But their settlement in the data center was quite challenging. During the data
center construction, these generators were picked up from a loading dock and
brought up to their assigned floor via a crane. Then, they were settled into
their final position thanks to the strength of 20 people.
Moreover, their reliability
according to Mike Bosco, Director of Operations of New York Sabey Data Center
Properties, is not questionable. For instance, they proved their quality during
two major catastrophes in New York which are the Hurricane Sandy (that occurred
on October 29-30, 2012), and a Black Out in New York City when the Intergate
Manhattan Data Center was the only operational
building in New York City. How amazing isn’t?
