Business Wire
Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson (NYSE:EMR) and a
global leader in maximizing availability, capacity and efficiency
of critical infrastructure, was selected by T-Systems to construct
one of its largest modular data centers in Spain. The data center
allows T-Systems to capitalize on the significant growth in cloud
services in Europe.
The project recently received the Data Centre Market award for
most innovative project in Spain, and has been recognized by the
Uptime Institute for providing Tier III reliability at 99.98
percent availability.
Specially designed and built by Emerson and integrated and
serviced at its permanent location in Barcelona, Spain, the
facility consists of 38 integrated modules, nearly 300 racks, and
has a modular capacity of 1.1 MW. It also has a Tier III
designation, which calls for 99.982 percent availability,
infrastructure redundancies and more. Built by Emerson Network
Power’s solutions team using the most innovative modular
technologies, the facility meets T-Systems’ need for rapid
deployment, scalability, availability, security, and
efficiency.
“The construction of this data center is the cornerstone of
T-Systems’ consolidation and transformation program, and allows us
to provide cloud services across Europe,” said Raúl Saura, Head of
Dynamic Platform Services at T-Systems Iberia. “It was absolutely
strategic to quickly and successfully deploy this data center to
fulfill T-Systems’ vision for the future.”
The high efficiency design of the new facility enables T-Systems
to reduce its overall electrical consumption by 30 percent. As a
result, T-Systems benefits from minimized operating costs.
“We worked relentlessly and in close concert with T-Systems to
drive the success of this modular data center build,” said Scott
Barbour, business leader of Emerson Network Power. “Our technical
expertise, including our deep domain knowledge in power, thermal
management, modular construction and our service capabilities
enabled us to complete the facility within nine months, versus the
traditional 24-36 months generally estimated for a stick-build
construction. This all allowed Emerson to make T-Systems’
deployment possible and assist them in realizing their business
objectives.”
