Case Study: Data center design / Green data center - Internap Facility Saves $853,000 in First Year
Recognized by Network World for Leading Green Design
Challenge
In order to support demand for enterprise grade, Tier-3 class data centers in New Englad, Internap needed to quickly increase its inventory of data center space or lose busines to other data center providers.
TDS Approach
Under the leadership if Karl Robohm of TDS, a new, green data center was brought online just 12 months from getting permits.
This new data center in the Boston area was built from the ground up to be a "state-of-the-shelf", green data center facility. To support a wide range of potential tenants over a long life cycle, this 45,000 SF colocation facility includes the necessary security, fiber access, power and efficiency to minimize operating expense over a wide range of occupancy levels and power densities.
Benefits
The new Internap green data center in Sommerville, MA was recognized by Network World online as a model example of green data center design:
Companies looking for a green data center model should take a look at the new facility Internap built in Somerville, Mass., just outside Boston, which is so environmentally efficient the local power company wrote it a rebate check for $453,000.
"Internap expects that the data center will save another $400,000 every year by using less power than it would have had it not built to green specifications," says Mike Higgins, vice president and general manager of Internap's data center services.
