Fibernet successfully applies energy efficiency to its TIER data center 3+ of Madrid

The Fibernet Data Center, located in the Madrid town of Tres Cantos, It has been five years since its opening, successfully applying the energy efficiency criteria.

The energy efficiency requirements that Fibernet, Spanish company of transmission equipment by FO of the Teldat Group, was imposed five years ago when it built its CPD at its headquarters in Madrid have been fulfilled positively.

In accordance with the Ecodesign directive (2005/32/CE EuP), Fibernet established a series of ecological requirements that it was obliged to comply with, both in PUE, as in environmental impact assessment, of efficient equipment according to manufacturers, energy or water consumption and energy growth on demand.

This CPD of more than 500 m2, is listed as TIER 3+, although it is designed to grow in features and services according to the demands of customers to offer hosting services, Hosting and advanced monitoring and critical services. For Antonio Gorrachategui, director of the CPD business area of this company, "Fibernet has an internal process control procedure, by means of which the corresponding environmental controls are carried out, ISO 14001, and ITIL procedures".

Five years after its inauguration, the concepts that define the energy efficiency of this CPD are the use of efficient energies, Optimization in its use, Equipment consolidation and virtualization. To this is added the modular growth and its redundant operation and high availability with secure systems against physical and environmental threats, as well as optimizing equipment performance and maximizing energy savings in cooling.

As this manager points out, In the data center of the coming years will be of great importance "a lower physical intervention according to virtualization and automated management. Power density and cooling will change due to the emergence of optical processors, Use of the photon and not the electron, and the size of the CPD will be smaller while bandwidth will grow will be a key factor".

In addition to the services offered in its CPD to large companies, Fibernet connects with fiber optics near the 80% of large data centers in Spain in different sectors such as banking, with clients such as Banco Santander, CaixaBank, BBVA, Etc. and Public Administration, as the Tax Agency, DGT, .ICO, Post Office or Renfe.
