You may want to see in comic book underground caves and sea secret base, and would not like you see these in the data center of publicity pictures, destruction of romance and mystery, the recession has just ended, everywhere there is excess data center for real estate, but these special buildings now less and less, because the government buildings are required to conform to the principle of proponents of green environmental protection.To ordinary buildings converted to data center, inside and outside the renovation was difficult and expensive, and this leads to more and more companies are turning its attention to the ground, to find a way to design a data center in ground under safe and reliable, and cheaper, more flexible.
The underground data center, which opened in the 1980s, is a natural evolution of the company's underground document security business in old mines.The average data center on the ground is full of security vulnerabilities, and you have to deal with the possibility of attacks. "the underground data center will get more attention in the future.
(2) build data centers in mines.
The mine?Is about - your first impression of the damp, dark, crowded, tight - the fact is far from this (although this place feels like a super hero's secret headquarters) to a few decades ago by the old mine into workshop, has now become the data center, security is one of the advantages of underground structures.The highly secure data center on the ground is known as the "data bunker", with the rocky outsides of the mountain and a few people and data entry.
Exist in the physical limits of the building data center environment, in order to achieve better security also need to pay attention to some key points of design, "a lot of underground data center failure lies in the fact that they are still habitually according to the traditional way to build the data center.
Understand the geological structure, considering the future, between the rock of the underground mine is about 17 feet wide can take advantage of the space, the data center according to 25 square feet as a unit to carry on the layout, internal temperature of the SubTropolis underground data center in Kansas city can keep from 65 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit, humidity is held constant, with millions of square feet of usable floor area.The temperature inside the data center is about 52 degrees Fahrenheit, and the surrounding limestone walls absorb heat from the running server cabinets and allow for natural cooling.The clay and shale formations in the mine walls absorb and isolate the moisture, keeping the data center dry.
And old limestone can directly provide open interior space, and is no longer a winding narrow cave, located at a height of 100 to 150 feet from the ground in the hills, mountains provide full protection for data center, from flooding to tornadoes, can even protection from the new Madrid fault earthquake.
(3) unattended data centers that isolate seawater and sunlight.
Unattended data center is the right choice for a working platform in the ocean.Data center before set sail, everything all want to test is in order, every data center using separate enclosure, coated with anti-corrosive paint, so can not change the internal wiring of cases against the wind in the salt corrosion, data center is independent of the cooling system, use of refrigerants, and Marine cooling system can influence each other.For example, high density computing systems on drilling RIGS or ships can be cooled by direct liquid cooling.
"In some container data centers, we have 200 kilowatts of computing facilities in very small Spaces.On land, conditional, you could use many of the rack to make equipment heat dispersion, but can only give you a small room here, "server installed on the vibration isolation platform, to resist the impact of the wind and waves.Energy from diesel generating sets, or use a by-product of crude oil, natural gas power generation, "everything is specially tailored for the Marine environment to run, but that's just before the mobile data center technology enhancement and reapplied".
There have always been data centres that actually run offshore, on shallow water and deepwater oil RIGS.The calculation of oil exploration, drilling, and extraction data is much smaller than the typical data center, but the demand for computing is also growing.
(4) build the data center on the lake.
Someone to build a data center on the bottom of the sea and ships, the purpose is to cool, they directly into the data center in the seawater cooling, the use of water for heat transfer, the purpose of cooling, is also the air conditioning system of money saved, and people will be data center was built on the lake and the use of water for data center cooling, this kind of data center PUE is very low.
(5) build the data center on the seabed.
Near the Pacific, Microsoft's natick data center project, which replaces the traditional data center cooling method, directly dipped the data center into the water to cool it.In addition to the cooling effect is remarkable, it also has other three advantages - the world more than half of the people live within 200 kilometres from the coast, which means that the equipment can be located at a distance closer to population centers, so that can ensure the data of the shorter delay time;The data center self-sufficiency system can be assembled in 90 days, while the traditional data center equipment is set up for two years.In addition, the equipment can also provide tidal power generation devices to reduce environmental pollution.
(6) build the data center in the cave.
The location of the hangar server in the green mountain data center, Norway, is the underground lobby of NATO storage munitions.The investment arm of the project is Smedvig Norwegian shipping company, which is working with ErgoGroup, a leading Nordic IT services company.The biggest advantage of the data center is that it USES water from the bay to cool.Water from faucet fjord is 8 degrees Celsius (46 degrees Fahrenheit), which is the best stable supply used in data center cooling systems.
(7) build the data center in the north and south poles.
To take advantage of the natural advantages of heat dissipation, reduce the PUE of the data center and build the data center in the unfrequented south and North Pole.Perennial polar air temperature is 20 degrees below zero, data center can take advantage of natural cooling, almost no air conditioning system, the data center can take away the heat generated by the natural, such data center environmental protection than the average data center around three times.Air conditioning system is an important part of the data center, is also an important part of energy consumption of data centres, accounts for about a third of the total energy consumption data center, built in the north and south poles of data center will not have to worry about energy consumption problems, absolutely environmental protection.
The national science foundation runs the data center in Antarctica, the most remote data center in the world.The data center has more than 1,200 computing cores and three petabytes of storage, and the high-performance computing cluster is located on the Antarctic glacier, using natural advantages for heat dissipation.
(8) build the data center in the desert.
Also some special care about the safety of the data center, data center in Las Vegas desert, for example, there are super thickness steel plate wrapped room, made up of many veterans formed armed security team, visible data center's emphasis on safety.Data center was built in the desert, also do not want to be more people know the existence of the data center, these data centres are often holds some state secrets, and similar data center was built in the cave, is low in the bunker, the objective is to secure.This kind of data center is for the military services, more to hide data center in hidden place, prevent data center missile strikes, this kind of data center is in the nation's secret service, almost regardless of the cost.
In Las Vegas, the giant data center is built in the desert, with an average annual PUE of 1.18 and a minimum of 1.08.It has the safest natural environment in America: no hurricanes, no floods, no ice, no earthquakes, no tsunamis.Therefore, data hosting for mission-critical tasks, especially for the military supremacy of data hosting, has a unique advantage.Supernap's appearance and interior decoration also reveal personality.Looking down at the top of the sky looks like a bizarre space creature, with its interior design and the red major in the Las Vegas style.
(9) build the data center into "scenic spots"
Others will be packed data center become a scenic spot, became a local landscape, attract investors and access of users, almost without too much investment in have the effect of advertising, such as:
(1) New York City has one of the highest data centers in the world, with a floor of 32 storeys and a glass curtain wall, which makes it more attractive and often praised.
(2) Sweden has a data center, inside has simulated sunlight, greenhouse, waterfalls and a 2600 litres of water tank, provide very comfortable work environment, totally different from regular data center, all of the data center construction standards here.
(3) Barcelona and build a data center, in the church interior style also is glittering, super computer center is placed in the center of the church of the glass box, become one of the most beautiful in the world data center here.The Barcelona supercomputing centre (BSC) is installed in Barcelona's Helena church, which is arguably Europe's most powerful supercomputer of the 19th century.The pillars and ceilings in the church seem to be resplendent, and the long, transparent corridor gives a very empty feeling, and the machine room is very sophisticated.The device in the cabinet looks shiny and doesn't feel like it's being used, it's more like a display of art.
(10) build the data center into a suitcase.
The Arnouse digital device company has developed the "edge" data center that can be deployed in a suitcase size container, originally intended for use by U.S. forces in areas of war or crisis.The fully self-contained portable box data center is powered by batteries and supports wired and wireless connections.It has as many as 88 Intel e3845 to strong core processors, as well as up to 176GB of RAM and 2.8 terabytes of SSD storage, plus an optional 12TB hard disk storage space.The fully configured data center can run for eight hours at full capacity, as well as a set of hot-plugging batteries that can last up to a week.
