ASTModular's New Container Datacenter: PUE 1.09

June 30, 2011 - PRLog -- Barcelona, Spain - AST Modular, a Spanish engineering firm devoted to innovation in modular data centers confirmed on Friday that its pioneering Modular Natural Free Cooling Technology has been implemented in a newly built containerized datacenter for a customer in Sidney, Australia.

The datacenter achieves an actual metered PUE of 1.09***

The double deck solution engineered by AST Modular is composed of a 40’ IT 17 Racks Container with a complete fire protection system, access control and monitoring equipment and a 20’ Modular Natural Free Cooling container placed on top and allowing servers to run without the use of chillers for 92% of the time in a year.
NFC, a worldwide patented AST Modular’s technology, is an indirect airside economizer cooling solution that uses a passive air to air heat exchanger to cool the datacenter. A Smart control system maximizes the available hours of free cooling by monitoring more than 300 parameters. It is capable of choosing among 100% free cooling with temperatures below 19° C, partial economization with the use of adiabatic cooling, or mechanical cooling for temperatures approximately above 26° C (wet bulb temperature
