DPC of Stack Data Network Kazan

• Area of the technology hall of commercial data center (DPC) of 2500 sq.m (3 halls)

In July, 2012 the operator of data centers Stack Group starts the new modular DPC in Kazan. It is expected 376 racks. Project parameters: 8 cells, 376 racks, starting load of a rack of 4.8 kW (with a possibility of further building to 40 kW/St), 4 installations of the air conditioning system, PUE (annual) 1.2 - 1.3, 1800 kW of refrigerating power, 2.5 MW of electric power totally, the level of reservation of the N+1 cooling system. The DPC will be placed in own building designed and built specially under deployment of data center. The data center is intended for rendering outsourcing services to corporate clients for which ensuring high protection against risks in operation of the ICT equipment and business applications is critical (financial companies, telecom operators, a public sector, the large industrial organizations).

The platform at any stage of lifecycle can be adapted to more high loads on a rack — the principle of functioning of modular data centers of SDN allows to implement without interruption in providing services soft transition to use of power-intensive solutions ICT (up to 40÷50 of kW on a rack) and also to increase the number of modules, emphasized in Stack Data Network.

Among the main features of future SDN nodes in the company noted: energy efficiency, record for the industry (annual average PUE value no more than 1.15) which is reached due to flexible management by air flows; high error protection of personnel — result of use in data center of the integrated monitoring systems and intelligent systems of decision making which provide simplicity and high quality of forecasting of events; compliance to strict requirements of physical and information security that is implemented due to physical separation of all functional modules (server premises and elements of the DTs life support system) and also application safe for the equipment and personnel of technologies of fire extinguishing.

All elements of construct and engineering infrastructure of modular data centers of SDN are made and undergo quality control at the profile plants of Europe and Russia that provides their standardization and simplifies service and carrying out scheduled works.

The balanced utilization properties put in the principle of functioning of modular data centers of SDN allow to provide on new platforms a possibility of the choice of level of reliability of racks of the client in the range from Tier II to Tier IV on Uptime Institute classification — depending on business challenges of corporate clients and specifics of the ICT equipment.

Besides, unlike the majority of the projects executed in Russia in recent years data centers in St. Petersburg and Kazan are not built in already ready premises, and created from scratch — on specially selected ground, emphasized in the company. Each of them will represent the separate building with the engineering infrastructure implemented turnkey with the high level of reservation of components. Thanks to modularity of the organization of data centers rates of their input in operation and upgrades are significantly higher at the scales and characteristics comparable with classical solutions, claim in SDN.
