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

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

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

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

This DPC of more than 500 m2, is listed as TIER 3+, although it is designed to grow in benefits and services according to the demands of customers to offer accommodation services, Advanced Monitoring & Critical Hosting & Services. For Antonio Gorrachategui, director of the CPD business area of this company, "Fibernet has an internal process control procedure, by 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 DPC are the use of efficient energies, Optimization in its use, Consolidation and virtualization of equipment. Added to this is modular growth and redundant and highly available operation with systems that are safe against physical and environmental threats, as well as optimizing equipment performance and maximizing energy savings in refrigeration.

As this executive points out, In the data centers of the coming years, "less physical intervention in accordance with virtualization and automated management" will be of great importance. Power and cooling density will change due to the emergence of optical processors, Using the photon and not the electron, and the size of the DPC will be smaller while the bandwidth will grow will be a key factor".

In addition to the services offered in its DPC 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 the Public Administration, and the Tax Agency, DGT, ICO, Post or Renfe.
