  • Power provided by EKZ
  • Multiple, diverse power feeds supporting the data center
  • 400V electrical configuration
  • All systems 100% concurrently maintainable

Cooling

Cooling

Vantage’s ZRH2 Zurich data center will use a highly efficient closed-loop chilled water system generated through air-cooled chillers. The cooling system will also include an integrated economizer capability that allows reduced compressor energy based on outside ambient temperature, so when weather is favorable, cooling becomes more sustainable and less resource intensive.

  • Computer Room Air Handling (CRAH) units located in two galleries on opposite sides of each data module allow for highly efficient airflow distribution
  • Closed-loop chilled water system with air-side economizers
  • N+1 overall, N+2 component-level redundancy across mechanical systems
  • Water Utilization Efficiency (WUE) will be near zero (liters/kW/hr) using the latest cooling design

Connectivity

Connectivity

ZRH2 will offer multiple, diverse fiber pathways into the data center with access to both dark and lit fiber. The data center will be carrier neutral, giving you the flexibility to manage your own network.

  • Major fiber-based service providers operating within a few miles of the data center
  • Two Meet-Me-Rooms (MMRs) allowing for diverse paths and multiple connectivity options
  • Two points-of-entry (POEs) ensuring maximum path diversity for inbound carriers
  • Diverse fiber pathways into the data center (minimum two paths per carrier)
