Photos: Digital Realty unwraps Melbourne II data centre

Shoots for Tier 3 accreditation.

on Sep 20 2013 10:30AM

The covers have come off Digital Realty's Melb II data centre, which has been undergoing commissioning over the last two weeks.

The commissioning process involves simulating full power loss, switching over to two of the six available 2-megawatt generators and then back to mains power.

Representatives from independent accreditation body the Uptime Institute have been measuring performance during the commissioning process to confirm the data centre's tier 3 status.

Uptime Institute vice president of development engineering Keith Klesner told iTnews the "devil is in the detail" of data centre design. "A lot of data centre owners claim tier 3, it’s a common market solution, but only some owners are willing to have someone come in and say 'yes, each and every aspect meets it'."

Digital Realty head of sales engineering Damien Spillane said the smarts behind the dual power system was one of the organisation's key differentiators.

The facility offers 3,800 square metres of dedicated data centre space, sitting alongside NAB's dedicated facility on the outskirts of Melbourne.
